$x * \frac{5}{6} = \frac{25}{48}$
$x = \frac{25}{48} * \frac{6}{5}$
$x = \frac{30}{48}$
$x = \frac{15}{24}$

the area of a rectangular field is x^2-x-72 m^2. The length of the field is x+8 cm. What is the width of the field meters.

Gre4nikov [31]

Hello,

A(x)=x²-x-72 (m²)
L=(x+8) (cm)= (x+8)/100 (m)

We suppose here x≠-8
(in reality x²-x-72>0 ==>x<-8 or x>9
but x+8>0 ==> x>-8
then
only x>9 are solutions)

W=A(x)/ ((x+8)/100 )=100*(x²-x-72)/(x+8)= 100*(x-9)(x+8)/(x+8)=100*(x-9)

Given the slope m and a point (a,b) of a line, its equation is given by

$y-b=m(x-a)$

In your case, a = -4, b = 7 and m=1/2, so we have

$y-7=\dfrac{1}{2}(x+4) \iff y=\dfrac{x}{2}+2+7\iff y=\dfrac{x}{2}+9$

Arrange the following polynomial into descending order for x, then interpret the degree of the 3rd term. 2xy4 + 2x2y − 3y2 + 10x

Darina [25.2K]

The arrangement should be based on the decreasing degree of the terms which may be determined by the variable x as it should come first in alphabetical order. The polynomial is then,
10x³ + 2x²y + 2xy^4 - 3y²
The degree is equal to the sum of the exponents. Thus, the answer is 5 and it is letter D.
