Answer:
3 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume the storage room is a rectangle, like most rooms, no indication it is otherwise.
We know it's a rectangle and not a square because it is longer than wide.
We have the perimeter measurement (16 meters).
So, we can make the following equation:
2x + 2y = 16
x being the width of the room, y being it's length. A perimeter is the sum of all sides.
We also know the room is 2 meters longer than wide... so:
y = x + 2
If we replace y in the first equation by its value relative to x, we get:
2x + 2(x + 2) = 16 which becomes
2x + 2x + 4 = 16
4x =12
thus x = 3
Width: 3 meters
Length: 5 meters.
Confirms the 16 meters perimeter.
Answer:
(-4, 0) and (5/2, 0)
Step-by-step explanation:
if you graph the equation you can see where the curve intersects the x-axis or you can factor the equation into: (2x - 5)(x + 4) = 0
set each factor equal to zero and solve:
2x - 5 = 0
2x = 5
x = 5/2
x + 4 = 0
x = -4

Explanation:
To simplify a polynomial, we have to do two things: 1) combine like terms, and 2) rearrange the terms so that they're written in descending order of exponent.
First, we combine like terms, which requires us to identify the terms that can be added or subtracted from each other. Like terms always have the same variable (with the same exponent) attached to them. For example, you can add 1 "x-squared" to 2 "x-squareds" and get 3 "x-squareds", but 1 "x-squared" plus an "x" can't be combined because they're not like terms.
Let's identify some like terms below.
f(x)=−4x+3x2−7+9x−12x2−5x4
Here you can see that -4x and 9x are like terms. When we combine (add) -4x and 9x, we get 5x. So let's write 5x instead:
f(x)=5x+3x2−7−12x2−5x4
Let's do the same thing with the x-squared terms:
f(x)=5x+3x2−7−12x2−5x4
f(x)=5x−9x2−7−5x4
Now there are no like terms left. Our last step is to organize the terms so that x is written in descending power:
f(x)=−5x4−9x2+5x−7
Step-by-step explanation:
787.50
You multiply 250 by .05 to get 12.50, then you add it to 250 to get 262.50, and multiply it by 3 to get 787.50
Answer:
The answer is A
Step-by-step explanation:
This is one of those sneaky questions where you think there is no definite answer, but don't despair. There is an answer.
You have 7 numbers
3 of them are positive which means greater than 0. Let's pick them
3 4 5 = 60
That part's easy. Those 3 numbers give a plus result.
Now try the other 4 numbers
-3 - 2 - 1 - 4
Do you see what's going to happen. You have -3 * - 2 = 6
then you get - 1 * - 4 = 4
All of a sudden you get a positive result 6 * 4 = 24
60 * 24 = 1440
So the answer is any 3 plus numbers multiplied by 4 minus numbers gives a plus result.
