Answer:

The countertop is 8.37 square meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

L ----> the length of the countertop

W ----> the width of the countertop

we know that

The area of rectangle (countertop) is equal to

$A=LW$

we have

$L=18\ ft\\W=5\ ft$

Remember that

$1\ ft=0.305\ m$

To convert feet to meters multiply by 0.305

$L=18\ ft=18(0.305)=5.49\ m$

$W=5\ ft=5(0.305)=1.525\ m$

Find the area in square meters

$A=(5.49)(1.525)$

$A=8.37\ m^2$

Answer:

Area of the countertop = 8.37meter²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Length of countertop = 18 feet

Breath of countertop = 5 feet

To find the area of the countertop in square meters, we will have to convert the length of the countertop and breath of the countertop from feet to meters.

Given that: 1 foot = 0.305 meter

Therefore

Length of countertop = (18 x 0.305) meter = 5.49 meter

Breath of countertop = (5 x 0.305) meter = 1.525 meter.

So, Area of the countertop = length x breath

Area of the countertop = 5.49 x 1.525

= 8.37225 meter²

Area of the countertop = 8.37meter²

How do I factor x^4-5x^2+6?

Vilka [71]

Answer:

$=(x^2-3)(x^2-2)$

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the expression:

$x^4-5x^2+6$

And we wish to factor it.

First, let's make a substitution. Let's let u be equal to x². Therefore, our expression is now:

$=u^2-5u+6$

This is a technique called quadratic u-substitution. Now, we can factor in this form.

We can use the numbers -3 and -2. So:

$=u^2-2u-3u+6$

For the first two terms, factor out a u.

For the last two terms, factor out a -3. So:

$=u(u-2)-3(u-2)$

Grouping:

$=(u-3)(u-2)$

Now, substitute back the x² for u:

$=(x^2-3)(x^2-2)$

And this is the simplest form.

And we're done!
