Answer: A: -2x^3 - 6x^2 + 9x
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) - g(x) is a simple subtraction problem, just like 2 - 1, or 8 - 5. So, treat the functions like normal questions.
> f(x) = 3x^3 - 4x^2 + 6x
> g(x) = 5x^3 + 2x^2 - 3x
> f(x) - g(x)
Substitute these values for f(x) and g(x).
> f(x) - g(x)
> (3x^3 - 4x^2 + 6x) - (5x^3 + 2x^2 - 3x)
Now, we combine like terms*:
> For x^3: (3x^3 - 5x^3) = -2x^3
> For x^2: (-4x^2 - 2x^2) = -6x^2
> For x: (6x + 3x) = 9x
*NOTE: Remember that when there is a subtraction sign in front of a group of numbers, all the numbers inside of the parenthesis are multiplied by -1, and get their signs switched.
Putting all of these values together, we get (-2x^3 - 6x^2 + 9x).
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say the position of the fire is point C.
Bearings are measured from the north-south line. So ∠BAC = 55°, and ∠ABC = 60°.
Since angles of a triangle add up to 180°, ∠ACB = 65°.
Using law of sine:
190 / sin 65° = a / sin 60° = b / sin 55°
Solving:
a = 181.6
b = 171.7
Station A is 181.6 miles from the fire and station B is 171.7 miles from the fire.

Answer:
circle area = 1963.495 ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given</u>
A rectangle 550 ft by 350 ft packed with circles on a rectangular grid
<u>Find</u>
the area of the largest circle that can be packed this way
<u>Solution</u>
The diameter of the circle must be a factor of both 350 and 550. We want the diameter to be the largest such factor. We can write the factors of 350 and 550 as ...
- 350 = 50 × 7
- 550 = 50 × 11
The largest factor common to both numbers is 50, so that will be the diameter of the largest circle that will fit on a square grid.
The area of a circle is commonly given by the formula ...
A = πr² . . . . . where r represents the radius of the circle.
The radius is half the diameter, so will be (50 ft)/2 = 25 ft. And the area of the circle is ...
A = π(25 ft)² = 625π ft² ≈ 1963.495 ft²
The area of one circle is about 1963.495 square feet.
_____
The total number of circles is 11×7 = 77. Their total area is 77×1963.495 ft² ≈ 151,189 ft². This is 151,189/192,400 ≈ 78.54% of the total area of the rectangle.
