Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

A

25x² - 40x + 16 ← is a perfect square of the form

(ax - b)² = a²x² - 2abx + b²

Comparing the coefficients of like terms in the 2 expressions

a² = 25 ⇒ a = 5, b² = 16 ⇒ b = 4

and 2 × 5 × 4 = 40, thus

25x² - 40x + 16 = (5x - 4)²

The side of the square = 5x - 4

B

25x² - 16y² ← is a difference of squares and factors in general as

a² - b² = (a - b)(a + b), thus

25x² - 16y²

= (5x)² - (4y)² = (5x - 4y)(5x + 4y)

Dimensions of rectangle are 5x - 4 and 5x + 4

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

25x2 − 40x + 16 = (5x)² - 2*5*4  + 4²      { (a - b)² = a² - 2ab + b² }

                           = (5x - 4)²                      { here a = 50 and b = 4}

Side of the square = 5x - 4 units

<u>Part B:</u>

25x2 − 16y2 = (5x)² - (4y)²         { a² - b² = (a + b) * (a - b) }

                     = (5x + 4y) * (5x - 4y)    { here a = 5x and b = 4y}

Dimensions of Rectangle: (5x + 4y) ; (5x - 4y)

The sum of two numbers is 9 . one number is nine less than twice the other. find the two numbers.
dimulka [17.4K]
Hello!

To solve this problem, we will use a system of equations. We will have one number be x and the other y. We will use substitutions to solve for each variable.

x+y=9
x=2y-9

To solve for the two numbers, we need to solve the top equation. The second equation shows that x=2y-9. In the first equation, we can replace 2y-9 for x and solve.

2y-9+y=9
3y-9=9
3y=18
y=6

We now know the value of y. Now we need to find x. We can plug in 6 for y in the second equation to find x.

x=2·6-9
x=12-9
x=3

Just to check, we will plug these two numbers into the first equation.


3+6=9
9=9

Our two numbers are three and six.

I hope this helps!

Murtha has decided to start a pebble collection. She collects one pebble the first day and two pebbles on the second day. On eac
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

78

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

First day (a) = 1

1 more pebble every subsequent day than the previous day

Tn = a + (n - 1)d

d = common difference ; difference between pebbles in two successive days = 1

n = nth day

At the end of the 12th day;

Tn = a + (n - 1)d

T(12) = 1 + (12 - 1) 1

T(12) = 1 + 11

T(12) = 12

Appling the sun if arithmetic progression formula : Sum of AP:

n/2 (a + Tn)

n = number of terms

12/2 (1 + 12)

6(13)

= 78

Luigi has a piece of cloth that is 42 inches long. He wants to divide it into 3 equal pieces. What is the length of each piece?​
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

if you divide it by 2, you would have 128 slices because 256 ÷ 2 gives you 128, and when you multiply 128 by 2 you get 26.

The diagram shows the cross-section of a wall of a cinema. It has to be painted. Work out the area that needs to be painted.
mestny [16]

Answer:

Area = 370 m²

Cost to paint = £105

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the wall of a cinema hall = Area of a trapezoid (1)+ Area of a rectangle (2) + Area of a trapezoid (3)

Area of a trapezoid = \frac{1}{2}(b_1+b_2)h

where b_1 and b_2 are the parallel sides and h is the distance between these sides.

Area of trapezoid (1) = \frac{1}{2}(11+12)\times 6

                                  = 69 m²

Area of the rectangle (2) = Length × Width

                                         = 12 × 15

                                         = 180 m²

Area of the trapezoid (3) = \frac{1}{2}(12+10)\times 11

                                         = 121 m²

Now area of the wall = 69 + 180 + 121

                                   = 370 m²

One tin covers the area = 25 m²

Number of tins required to paint the wall = \frac{\text{Total area}}{\text{Area covered by one tin}}

= \frac{370}{25}

= 14.8

Therefore, number of tins to be purchased = 15

Cost to paint the complete wall = 15 × £7

                                                       = £105
