Answer:

$12\sqrt{2}\ cm$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the length side of the square

we know that

The area of a square is equal to

$A=b^{2}$

where

b is the length side

we have

$A=144\ cm^2$

substitute in the formula of area

$144=b^{2}$

solve for b

square root both sides

$b=12\ cm$

step 2

Find the length of the diagonal

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

$d^2=b^2+b^2$

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

substitute the given values

$d^2=12^2+12^2$

$d^2=288$

square root both sides

$d=\sqrt{288}\ cm$

simplify

$d=12\sqrt{2}\ cm$

Sketch a graph of the polynomial function f(x) =x3− 2x2. Use it to complete the following:

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

We have the function:

f(x) = x^3 - 2*x^2

To sketch this, we need to graph some points, and then just draw a line that passes through the points.

The graph of this equation is shown below.

Now we can complete the question.

If the graph is below the x-axis in some interval, the function is negative in that interval

If the graph is above the x-axis in some interval, the function is positive in that interval.

If the graph goes up in a interval, then the function is increasing in that interval

If the graph goes down on an interval, then the function is decreasing in that interval.

Then:

1) f is------ on the intervals (−∞, 0) and (0, 2).

Here we can see that the graph is below the x-axis in those intervals, then here we have:

f is negative on the intervals (−∞, 0) and (0, 2).

2) f is------ on the interval (2,∞)

Here the answer is positive:

f is positive on the interval (2,∞)

3) fi is ------ on the interval (0, 4/3)

In the graph, you can see that the graph goes down in that interval, then the correct answer here is:

f is decreasing on the interval (0, 4/3)

4) f is------ on the intervals (−∞, 0) and (4/3, ∞).

In this case, we can see that the graph goes up in these intervals, then the correct answer here is:

f is increasing on the intervals (−∞, 0) and (4/3, ∞).

If C = 1+ p2 + 3p and B = 2p + 6p, find an expression that equals 2C – – B in

drek231 [11]

Answer:

2p² + 14p + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

C= 1+p²+3p

B=2p+6p

The expression that equals to : 2C - -B will be;

2{1+p²+3p} - {-2p-6p}

2+2p²+6p + 2p + 6p

2p² + 6p +2p +6p +2

2p² + 14p + 2

Reflect quadrilateral CJKM across the y-axis. Find the location of K'.

Montano1993 [528]

$K(1,4)\rightarrow K^{\prime}(-1,4)$

Explanation

Step 1

find the coordinate of every point of the quadrilateral

C(-3,1)

J(0,1)

K(1,4)

M(4,-2)

Step 2

When you reflect a point across the y-axis, the y-coordinate remains the same, but the x-coordinate is transformed into its opposite (its sign is changed).

$(x,y)\rightarrow reflect\text{ across y -Ax is}\rightarrow(-x,y)$

therefore

$\begin{gathered} C\mleft(-3,1\mright)\rightarrow C^{\prime}(3,1) \\ J\mleft(0,1\mright)\rightarrow J^{\prime}(0,1) \\ K\mleft(1,4\mright)\rightarrow K^{\prime}(-1,4) \\ M(4,-2)\rightarrow M^{\prime}(-4,-2) \end{gathered}$

so, the answer is

$K^{\prime}(-1,4)$

i hope this helps you
