George bought 5 and 3/4 dozen muffins. How many muffins does he have?

DanielleElmas [232]

A dozen is 12

multiply 5 * 12 = 60
multiply (3/4) * 12 = 9
Then add together
60 + 9 = 69

Find the area of the shape shown below. 3.5,2,2,2,2,5

natta225 [31]

Answer:

26.75

Step-by-step explanation:

It is 26.75 because if you split the traingle in half from the bottom to the top you look to find the area of each shape, so the sqaure has a measure of 2 by 2 so that is four then the smaller triangle has a measure of 2 by 2 but the formula for triangles are length times height divided by 2 and the area for that is 2. Then the other smaller triangle is 5 * 2 which is 10 then divide it by 2 so it is 5 so all together it is 9. then the area of the biggest triangle is 15.75

Q(x)=x^3+ax^2+2b is divided by (x-3) and has a remainder of 4. Find the values of "a" and "b"

Sati [7]

Answer:

Let p(x) = x3 + ax2 + bx +6

(x-2) is a factor of the polynomial x3 + ax2 + b x +6

p(2) = 0

p(2) = 23 + a.22 + b.2 +6 =8+4a+2b+6 =14+ 4a+ 2b = 0

7 +2 a +b = 0

b = - 7 -2a -(i)

x3 + ax2 + bx +6 when divided by (x-3) leaves remainder 3.

p(3) = 3

p(3) = 33 + a.32 + b.3 +6= 27+9a +3b +6 =33+9a+3b = 3

11+3a +b =1 => 3a+b =-10 => b= -10-3a -(ii)

Equating the value of b from (ii) and (i) , we have

(- 7 -2a) = (-10 - 3a)

a = -3

Substituting a = -3 in (i), we get

b = - 7 -2(-3) = -7 + 6 = -1

Thus the values of a and b are -3 and -1 respectively.

One number is 9 more than twice another. If their difference is 22, what is the larger number?

mafiozo [28]

Let, the numbers are: x, y
So, Equations will be: x - y = 22
x = 2y + 9

Substitute the value of x in first equation,
2y + 9 - y = 22
y = 22 - 9
y = 13

x - 13 = 22
x = 22 + 13 = 35

In short, Larger number would be 35

Hope this helps!

If anyone could solve this question for me while showing the steps. It would be GREATLY appreciated

Blizzard [7]

this is a very annoying problem, with lots of steps. it is on a next level of dragging on and on

Step-by-step explanation:

You can split this into different shapes. A triangle, a rectangle, and a void of a quarter circle. The total area is rectangle+triangle-quarter circle.

We find the second side of the triangle by doing 65-48=17

We then use the pythagorean theorem to find the third length. This is about 49.1426.

We can then use whatever method you'd like for finding the area of the triangle. it turns out to be about 417.7125

Next, we find the rectangle, easy enough, 49.1426*48=2358.8448

which seems a bit scuffed until you realize that the diagram itself is scuffed as well. Great, quarter circle next

16*16*pi/4=201.0619

Alright, now to combine it to find the area.

417.7125+2358.8448-201.0619=2575.4954

great, now let's find the perimeter, simple enough. Curved perimeter+straight perimeter-that one corner in the bottom right

52+48+49.1426+65-32+25.1327=207.2753

and now we convert to meters

207.2753feet=63.1775meters

We are almost done! Now let's find the cost.

Fencing first:

63.1775*8.50=537.01

Then the cement

2575.4954*5.50=14165.2247

Then we add it up and apply tax:

537.01+14165.2247=14702.2347

14702.23*1.13=$16613.53

if you find anything wrong message me, I may have made errors because its 10pm and i need sleep. I recommend you work through my steps on your own as well. There might be complications with rounding as well, so yea. Hope this helps!
