David wants to hang a mirror in his room. The mirror and frame must have an area of 8 square feet. The mirror is 2 feet wide and

3 feet long. Which quadratic equation can be used to determine the thickness of the frame, x?
2x2 + 14x − 2 = 0
3x2 + 10x − 8 = 0
4x2 + 10x − 2 = 0
x2 + 7x − 8 = 0

The correct quadratic equation;
x2+7x-2=0

Working
Assuming the frame has a uniform thickness;
Then length of mirror and frame is 3+x and width 2+x

The area of mirror and frame area;
A=L*W
8=(3+x)(2+x)
8=(6+5x+x2)
Taking 8 to the Right hand side, we have:
x2+5x-2 =0

Represent the thickness of the frame by x. Framing the mirror will increase both its length and width by 2x. The area of the mirror with the frame is the product of the length and width which can mathematically be expressed as,                                 

                                               A = (3 + 2x)(2 +2x) = 8

The equation above can be simplified into 4x^2 + 10x -2 = 0. This equation can still be further simplified by dividing it by 2. However, it will give an answer which is not found on the choices. Thus, the answer is the third choice.

The coordinates of rhombus ABCD are A(–4, –2), B(–2, 6), C(6, 8), and D(4, 0). What is the area of the rhombus? Round to the nea
a_sh-v [17]
Check the picture below.

so the rhombus has the diagonals of AC and BD, now keeping in mind that the diagonals bisect each, namely they cut each other in two equal halves, let's find the length of each.

\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points}
\\\\
A(\stackrel{x_1}{-4}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-2})\qquad 
C(\stackrel{x_2}{6}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{8})\qquad \qquad 
%  distance value
d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2}
\\\\\\
AC=\sqrt{[6-(-4)]^2+[8-(-2)]^2}\implies AC=\sqrt{(6+4)^2+(8+2)^2}
\\\\\\
AC=\sqrt{10^2+10^2}\implies AC=\sqrt{10^2(2)}\implies \boxed{AC=10\sqrt{2}}\\\\
-------------------------------

\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points}
\\\\
B(\stackrel{x_1}{-2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{6})\qquad 
D(\stackrel{x_2}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{0})\qquad \qquad BD=\sqrt{[4-(-2)]^2+[0-6]^2}
\\\\\\
BD=\sqrt{(4+2)^2+(-6)^2}\implies BD=\sqrt{6^2+6^2}
\\\\\\
BD=\sqrt{6^2(2)}\implies \boxed{BD=6\sqrt{2}}

that simply means that each triangle has a side that is half of 10√2 and another side that's half of 6√2.

namely, each triangle has a "base" of 3√2, and a "height" of 5√2, keeping in mind that all triangles are congruent, then their area is,

\bf \stackrel{\textit{area of the four congruent triangles}}{4\left[ \cfrac{1}{2}(3\sqrt{2})(5\sqrt{2}) \right]\implies 4\left[ \cfrac{1}{2}(15\cdot (\sqrt{2})^2) \right]}\implies 4\left[ \cfrac{1}{2}(15\cdot 2) \right]
\\\\\\
4[15]\implies 60

Which order pair is a solution of this equation. 5x+y=-25
crimeas [40]

Answer:

(-5,0) or (0,-25) is another solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Do you have a list of choices? If not, you could choose random choices for x and y to determine if they are solutions. Start by letting y = 0. We see that x = -5, so (-5, 0) is a solution to this equation. In fact, it represents the x-intercept of this line. Now, let x = 0. We now see that y = -25, so (0, -25) is another solution to the equation of this line. This coordinate pair is the y-intercept of the line. Try using other values of x and y to see if you can come up with other solutions to this equation.

Abby went to the store to buy ice cream for her party. Each box costs $3. She has a coupon for 20% off her total. If Abby buys 3
ollegr [7]

Answer: 7.2$

hope it helps :)

step-by-step explanation:

Cost of each box = 3$

Cost of 3 boxes without 20% coupon = 9$

With 20% off Coupon = 9 by 100 multiplied by 20

                                     (the zero's cut with each other leaving)

                                     = 9 by 10 multiplied by 2

                                     (9 multiplied by 2 = 18)

                                     = 18 by 10

                                     (18 divided by 10 = 1.8)

                                     = the 20% of 9$ is equal to 1.8

                                        when subtracted with the total cost leaves 7.2$
