Reggie currently has a square rug in his living room. He is moving soon and has determined that for his new living room, he will

need a rug that has a width that is two feet shorter than his current rug and a length that is five feet longer than his current rug. Let x represents the side measure of Reggie's current rug, in feet. Determine the equation that represents the area, y, in square feet, of the rug needed for his new living room.
y = x2 + 3x - 10


y = x2 - 7x + 10


y = x2 - 3x - 10


y = x2 + 7x + 10

<h2>Greetings!</h2>

Answer:

y = x^{2} + 3x - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Because Reggies rug is square, this means that there is a constant, x, that stays the same, because x * x = area of square

The new rug is 2 feet shorter than his current one, so this would be (x - 2). As the rug is also 5 feet longer than his current one, this would make it (x + 5).

<h3>To find the equation that represents the area, the area needs to be found using </h3><h3>Length x Width = Area</h3>

So simply plug the values into this equation:

(x - 2)(x + 5) = area

= (x * x) + (x * 5) + (-2 * x) + (-2 * 5)

= x^{2} + 5x + -2x + -10

A plus and a minus makes a negative:

x^{2} + 5x  -2x  -10

5x - 2x = 3x

<h3>So this would result in the end answer being:</h3>

x^{2} + 3x - 10

Please help! A parallelogram has an area of 396 square centimeters and a height of 18 centimeters.
frosja888 [35]
The area formula for a parallelogram is base*height=area. Make an equation. You know the area and the height, so plug that into the equation, and you get x*18=396. Solve for x by dividing 396 by 18 and you get 22. So, the base is 22cm.

What is the area of this figure?<br><br> Enter your answer in the box.
earnstyle [38]
To find the area you do base times height. Base is the number across,and height is the number that is up and down.So in this case you will multiply 9 and 5 and 9 and 7 and get 45 and 72.Then you will add 45 and 72 together and get 117. So the area is 117. Answer 117. Hope this helps :D.

Let $r$ and $s$ be the roots of $3x^2 + 4x + 12 = 0.$ Find $r^2 + s^2.$ Pls help.
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

-56/9

Step-by-step explanation:

By Vieta's formulas,

$r + s = -\frac{4}{3}$ and $rs = \frac{12}{3} = 4.$ Squaring the equation $r + s = -\frac{4}{3},$ we get

$r^2 + 2rs + s^2 = \frac{16}{9}.$ Therefore,

$r^2 + s^2 = \frac{16}{9} - 2rs = \frac{16}{9} - 2 \cdot 4 = -\frac{56}{9}}$

What is the exponential form of root 17
shusha [124]

Answer:  17^{1/2}

This is 17 to the 1/2 power

The rule is

\sqrt[n]{x} = x^{1/n}

the n is the index of the root. For square roots, n = 2, so,

\sqrt[n]{x} = x^{1/n}\\\\\sqrt[2]{17} = 17^{1/2}\\\\\sqrt{17} = 17^{1/2}\\
