Oliver works at a bookstore.He packed 20 identical paperbacks and 9 identical textbooks in a box. The total mass of the books wa

s 44.4 pounds. After he put 1 more textbook and 5 more paperbacks in the box, the total mass of the books was 51 pounds.
Write a system of equations that can used to determine p, the mass, in pounds, of one paperback, and t, the mass, in pounds of one textbook.

In the problem, the first equation should be represented like this base on the variable given in the problem:

20p + 9t = 44.4

with that equation, the second equation would is given by this formula, in response with the additional number of paperback and textbook

21p + 14t = 51

to get the system equation in getting the mass of each variable, you should subtract the two equation to simplified the formula.

   20p + 9t = 44.4
 - 21p + 14t = 51
-------------------------
p + 5t = 6.6 // this is the system equation that could be use in getting the mass of each object

The area of the shaded segment is 100cm^2. Calculate the value of r.
Reil [10]
Hello, 

The formula for finding the area of a circular region is: A=  \frac{ \alpha *r^{2} }{2}

then:
A_{1} = \frac{80*r^{2} }{2}

With the two radius it is formed an isosceles triangle, so, we must obtain its area, but first we obtain the height and the base.

cos(40)= \frac{h}{r}  \\  \\ h= r*cos(40)\\ \\ \\ sen(40)= \frac{b}{r} \\ \\ b=r*sen(40)

Now we can find its area:
A_{2}=2* \frac{b*h}{2}  \\  \\ A_{2}= [r*sen(40)][r*cos(40)]\\  \\A_{2}= r^{2}*sen(40)*cos(40)

The subtraction of the two areas is 100cm^2, then:

A_{1}-A_{2}=100cm^{2} \\ (40*r^{2})-(r^{2}*sen(40)*cos(40) )=100cm^{2} \\ 39.51r^{2}=100cm^{2} \\ r^{2}=2.53cm^{2} \\ r=1.59cm

Answer: r= 1.59cm

Complete the square for the expression, then factor the trinomial.
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

Completing the square we get: (x-2)^2-(2)^2

and factoring the term we get: x(x-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to complete the square for the expression x^2-4x

For completing the square the expression would be of form a^2+2ab+b^2=(a+b)^2

For given expression we have to add (2)^2 and subtract to make it complete the square.

x^2-2(x)(2)+(2)^2-(2)^2\\(x-2)^2-(2)^2

Now, we have to factor the polynomial using formula (a)^2-(b)^2=(a-b)(a+b)

So, (x-2)^2-(2)^2\\=(x-2-2)(x-2+2)\\=(x-4)(x-0)\\=x(x-4)

Completing the square we get: (x-2)^2-(2)^2

and factoring the term we get: x(x-4)
