A room has an area of 456 square feet. One dimension is 5 feet more than the other. What is the dimensions of the room?

1 answer:

4 0

<span>Draw a rectangle. Label the length x and the width (x+5). A = L*W => x(x+5)=456 => x^2 +5x-456=0 => Solve for x using Quad formula. x=19 and x=-24
</span><span>So your dimensions are 19 and 24</span>

Determine the quotient, q(x), and remainder, r(x) when

Vinvika [58]

ANSWER

Quotient:

$q(x) = 4 {x}^{2} + 3x + 2$

Remainder:

$r(x) = 3x + 1$

EXPLANATION

The given functions are

$f(x) = 12 {x}^{4} + 21 {x}^{3} + 31 {x}^{2} + 21x + 9$

and

$g(x) = 3 {x}^{2} + 3x + 4$

We want to find the remainder and quotient when f(x) is divided by g(x).

We perform the long division as shown in the attachment.

The quotient is

$q(x) = 4 {x}^{2} + 3x + 2$

The remainder is

$r(x) = 3x + 1$

A baby elephant weighs 1,400 pounds, which is 7,437 pounds less than her mother. Write an equation to express the weight of the

erica [24]

Let's say that y is the weight of the mother and x is the weight of the baby.
We know that the baby is 7437 pounds less than the mother, which means you need to add 7437 pounds to the baby's weight to get the mother's.
We can show it like this:
x+7437=y.
We know what the baby's weight is (1400 lbs), so just sub it in:
1400+7437=y
y=8837 lbs
The mom weighs 8837 pounds.
