The area of a rectangle is expressed as x4 - 9y2. What are the possible dimensions of the rectangle?

This is a stupid question.  The teacher who asked this needs to go back to school.

A = x⁴ - 9y²

That's going to be a number.  As long as it's positive we can choose any length for our rectangle L and we can compute the width by W=A/L.   So the correct answer is the dimensions are L by  (x⁴ - 9y²)/L.

They don't want the correct answer.  They want you to factor this expression.  We'll do it, but don't believe for a second this factoring somehow constrains the possible dimensions of some rectangle.

We use the difference of two squares, a²-b² = (a+b)(a-b)

A = x⁴ - 9y² = (x²)² - (3y)² = (x²+3y)(x²-3y)

Answer: x²+3y  by  x²-3y

A coin has one of two outcomes: heads or tails.
Each has an equal probability of occurring, meaning that they each have a 50% chance to occur. (They need to add up to 100% because they include all the outcomes, divide that into two equal parts and...)

This is what we call theoretical probability. It's a guess as to how probability <em>should</em> work. Like in the experiment, it's not always going to be 50-50.

What <em>actually happens</em> is called experimental probability. This may vary slightly from theoretical probability because you can't predict probability with complete certainty, you can only say what is <em>most likely to happen</em>.

We want to find the probability of getting heads in our experiment so we can compare it to the theoretical outcome. To do this, we need to compare the number of heads to the total number of outcomes.

We have 63 heads, and a total of 150 coin flips.
That makes the probability of getting a heads 63/150.
The hard part is getting this ratio into a percent.

You can try simply dividing, but you should be able to notice something here.
SInce the top and the bottom of our fraction are both divisible by 3, we can <em>simiplify</em>.
63 ÷ 3 = 21
150 ÷ 3 = 50
So we could say that 63/150 = 21/50.

A percent is basically a fraction out of 100.
Just like you can divide the parts of a ratio by the same number and it will stay the same, you can also multiply. To get the fraction out of 100, let's multiply by 2.
(since 50 × 2 = 100)

21 × 2 = 42
50 × 2 = 100
21/50 = 42/100 = 42%

Comparing our experimental probability to the theoretical one...it is 8% lower.

The apple juice has 27 grams per serving and the sprite has 26 grams per serving. So the apple juice has more. You just divide the total amount by the number of servings.

PLEASE HELP!!! Write the equation of a line that goes through the point (6, 3) and is perpendicular to the line y = 4x + 1.
Tpy6a [65]

For this case we have that by definition, the equation of a line in the point-slope form is given by:

y-y_ {0} = m (x-x_ {0})

Where:

m: It is the slope of the line and (x_ {0}, y_ {0})is a point through which the line passes.

We have the following equation of the slope-intersection form:

y = 4x + 1

Where the slope is m = 4

By definition, if two lines are perpendicular then the product of their slopes is -1.

Thus, a perpendicular line will have a slope:

m_ {2} = \frac {-1} {m_ {1}}\\m_ {2} = \frac {-1} {4}\\m_ {2} = - \frac {1} {4}

Thus, the equation will be of the form:

y-y_ {0} = - \frac {1} {4} (x-x_ {0})

Finally we substitute the given point and we have:

y-3 = - \frac {1} {4} (x-6)

Answer:

Option B

Someone please help, it was due yesterday UwU
irakobra [83]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A - Where did Phillip make a mistake? Justify your answer using complete sentences.

Use order of operation (PEMDAS)

He should multiply 8 x 4 first

Part B - Solve the expression correctly in the space below.

(5 x 9) - 8 x 4

= 45 - 32

= 13

Part C - Use the same rules of order of operations to solve the expression (8-4) +9 x 3. Explain your steps as you solve it.

(8-4) + 9 x 3

Step 1:   4 + 9 x 3  (Subtract in the parenthesis first)

Step 2:   4 + 27   (Multiply 9 x 3)

Step 3:   31         (Add)
