A ramp is being used to unload the back of a truck. The bottom of the ramp is 12 feet from the truck and the top of the ramp is

lying on the back of the truck. If the back of the truck is 5 feet high, which of the following equations can be used to find the length of the ramp? 52 + b2 = 122 , 122 + b2 = 52,  52 + 122 = c2

Answer:

The correct option is 3. The required equation is 5^2+12^2=c^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the bottom of the ramp is 12 feet from the truck and the back of the truck is 5 feet high.

Let the length of the ramp be c feet.

The given information forms a right angled triangle. Where bottom of the ramp  from the truck is base, height of the back of the truck is perpendicular and length of ramp is hypotenuses.

Base = 12 feet

Perpendicular = 5 feet

Hypotenuses = c feet

Using Pythagoras theorem,

Perpendicular^2+Base^2=Hypotenuses^2

(5)^2+(12)^2=c^2

The required equation is (5)^2+(12)^2=c^2.

Therefore option 3 is correct.

Multiply the trinomial x^2+xy+y^2 times the binomial x-y and simplify.
Natalija [7]
Multiply then simplify, that's doing the same work twice...anyway

x^3+x^2y+xy^2-x^2y-xy^2-y^3

x^3-y^3  which if factored is:

(x-y)(x^2+xy+y^2)  which is what you started with :)

7. Is it proportional?
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

A unit rate is the rate of change in a relationship where the rate is per 1.

The rate of change is the ratio between the x and y (or input and output) values in a relationship.  Another term for the rate of change for proportional relationships is the constant of proportionality.

If the rate of change is yx, then so is the constant of proportionality.  To simplify things, we set  yx=k, where k represents the constant of proportionality.  

If you solve a yx=k equation for y, (like this: y=kx), it is called a direct variation equation. In a direct variation equation, y varies directly with x. When x increases or decreases, y also increases or decreases by the same proportion.

To find y in a direct variation equation, multiply x by the constant of proportionality, k.

For example: Given the relationship y=7x, the constant of proportionality k=7,  so if x=3,  then y=3×7 or 21.

Given the same relationship, if x=7,  then y=7×7, or 49.

Write a polynomial that represents the area of the shaded region

<h3>Answer: x^2-3x+36</h3>

=========================================

Explanation:

The larger rectangle has area of (x+1)(x+1) = x^2+2x+1 through the use of the FOIL rule or distribution

If you use distribution, then it might help to let y = x+1 so we'd have y(x+1) lead to xy+1y which becomes x(x+1)+1(x+1). From there it might be easier to see how to get x^2+2x+1 after everything distributes again and simplifies.

The smaller rectangle has area 5x-35 which is found by distributing 5(x-7)

To get the shaded area, we subtract the two rectangle areas found above

shaded area = (larger area) - (smaller area)

shaded area = (x^2+2x+1) - (5x - 35)

shaded area = x^2+2x+1 - 5x + 35

shaded area = x^2-3x+36

Answer:

4n+2

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. add all sides =9n+3
  2. 3n+2+2n-1=9n+3
  3. add liketerms 5n+1=9n+3
  4. put liketerms together 9n-5n+3-1
  5. ans hence is 4n+2
