Question 1: The area of a rectangular carpet is given by the trinomial 5x^2 - 3x -
14. What are the possible dimensions of the carpet? Use factoring.
Answer: 5x^2 -3x -14
Explanation:
You might probe the different pairs of factors given in the answer choices to check wich product is equal to the oirginal polynomial or you can factor from zero.
I will show you how to factor that polynomial from zero:
1) given: 5x^2 - 3x - 14
2) multiply and divide by the leading coefficient =>
5 [5x^2 - 3x -14 ]
----------------------
5
3) Enter the the factor 5 inside the parenthesis:
5.5x^2 - 5.3x - 5.14
--------------------------
5
4) rearrange conviniently to show (5x) as a common factir of the first two terms
(5x)^2 - 3(5x) - 70
--------------------------
5
5) factor the numerator using 5x as common term of the two binomials:
(5x ) ( 5x ) <----> open the parenthesis
(5x - ) (5x + ) <-----> include the signs
(5x - 10) (5x + 7) <---> two numbers that add up - 3 and their product is - 70
=>
(5x - 10)(5x + 7)
---------------------
5
6) divide (5x - 10) by 5 => x - 2
7) factored expression
(x - 2) (5x + 7)
8) Conclusion: the answer is the option B. (5x + 7) and (x - 2)
2. Question 2. The area of a rectangular barnyard is given by the trinomial 6x^2 +
7x – 20. What are the possible dimensions of the barnyard? Use factoring
Answer: </span><span><span>option C. (2x + 5)(3x - 4)</span>
Explanation:
The procedure is the same of the question 1.
1) given: 6x^2 + 7x - 20
2) multiply numerator and denominator by 6 and rearrange to show (6x) as common factor ot the first two terms =>
(6x)^2 + 7(6x) - 120
--------------------------
6
3) factor the numerador using 6x as common factor ot two binomials, and simplify:
(6x + )(6x - )
(6x + )(6x - )
(6x + 15) (6x - 8)
=>
(6x + 15)(6x -8)
---------------------
6
(6x + 15)(6x - 8)
---------------------- =
3.2
(6x + 15) (6x - 8)
------------- . ------------ =
3 2
(2x + 5)(3x - 4)
4) answer: option C. (2x + 5)(3x - 4)</span>
In order to identify the mean distance jogged by Jim for 6 days, we add up all of the distances and divide the sum by 6. That is,
sum = 6.5 + 5 + 3 + 2 + 3.5 + 4 miles
sum = 24 miles
Dividing the sum by 6 will give us an answer of 4 miles. Thus, Jim jogged an average of 4 miles for 6 days.
Answer:
132 and 88
Step-by-step explanation:
If there are 20% more boys than girls, then this means that the total percentage of boys us 60% and girls is 40%.
0.6 * 220 = 132
0.4 * 220 = 88
There are 132 boys and 88 girls in year 9
Answer:
The correct answer is A, 73
Step-by-step explanation:
First we have to arrange the whole numbers in ascending order. i-e from smallest to largest. Showing it as follows:
53 54 59 62 64 65 66 68 70 71 75 78 79 79 83 83 86 90 91 94
Now we would find the median by taking the middle number. But this series consists of even numbers. There are 20 numbers. So we will take the middle two numbers and find their average like follows:
71 + 75 = 146/2 = 73
The answer is 73
Answer:
C. y=-4x-10
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation for a line in slope-intercept form is:
y=mx + b
m: slope
b: y-intercept
x,y: x and y coordinate pair
So the answer would be...
y=-4x-10
