Answer:

a) Similar

b) Perimeter of rectangle 2 is k times the Perimeter of rectangle 1 (Proved Below)

c) Area of rectangle 2 is k^2 times the Area of rectangle 1 (Proved Below)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Rectangle 1 has length = x

Rectangle 1 has width = y

Rectangle 2 has length = kx

Rectangle 2 has width = ky

(a) Are Rectangle 1 and Rectangle 2 similar? Why or why not?

Rectangle 1 and Rectangle 2 are similar because the angles of both rectangles are 90° and the sides of Rectangle 2 is k times the sides of Rectangle 1. So sides of both rectangles is equal to the ratio k.

(b) Write a paragraph proof to show that the perimeter of Rectangle 2 is k times the perimeter of Rectangle 1.

Perimeter of Rectangle = 2*(Length + Width)

Perimeter of Rectangle 1 = 2*(x+y) = 2x+2y

Perimeter of Rectangle 2 = 2*(kx+ky) = 2kx + 2ky

                                          = k(2x+2y)

                                          = k(Perimeter of Rectangle 1)

Hence proved that Perimeter of rectangle 2 is k times the perimeter of rectangle 1.

(c) Write a paragraph proof to show that the area of Rectangle 2 is k^2 times the area of Rectangle 1.

Area of Rectangle = Length * width

Area of Rectangle 1 = x * y

Area of Rectangle 2 = kx*ky

                                  = k^2 (xy)

                                  = k^2 (Area of rectangle 1)

Hence proved that area of rectangle 2 is k^2 times the area of rectangle 1.

Solve for the width in the formula for the area of a rectangle.
madam [21]
A = L * W
A / L = W <==

when A = 42 and W = 16.8
A / L = W
42/16.8 = W
2.5 = W <=== width = 2.5 inches

Part 1: Answer:

(x+1)(x+1)(x-6) = x^3 - 4x^2 - 11x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

To make r a root, include (x-r) as a factor. (-1+1)(-1+1)(-1-6) is zero even though (-1-6) isn't.

(6+1)(6+1)(6-6) is zero.


Part 2 Answer:

Standard form: y = -x^4 + 12

Degree 4

left end goes down, right end goes down.

Step by step: apply the definitions of standard form, polynomial degree, and "end behavior". In other words, read the textbook.


Part 3: Answer: x = 3, x = 8

Step by step:

x^2-11x = -24

x^2-11x+24 = 0

(x-3)(x-8) = 0

x = 3 or x = 8


Part 4a Answer:

quotient 2x^2 + x - 3

remainder 1


Step by step:

2x^2 + x - 3

___________________

x-4 ) 2x^3 - 7x^2 - 7x + 13

2x^3 - 8x^2

__________

0 + x^2 - 7x + 13

x^2 - 4x

____________

0 - 3x + 13

- 3x + 12

______

1


Part 4b answer:

quotient 2x^2 - 6x + 2

remainder -20


Step by step: you have to know exactly what you are doing. Refer to textbook or Wikipedia.


dividend 2x^3 +14x^2 - 58x

divisor x+10

leading coefficient of divisor must be 1

write coefficients of dividend at top

write coefficients of dividend at left


| 2 14 -58 0

-10 | -20 60 -20

___________

| 2 -6 2 -20

Coefficients of quotient are 2 -6 2

Remainder is -20

quotient = 2x^2 - 6x + 2
