The dimensions would be x and x+6. The area is 216.

x(x+6) = 216
x^2 + 6x - 216 = 0
(x-12)(x+18) = 0

x = 12---Yes---
x = -18---No, sides cannot be negative---

If one side is 12, the other side is 18. To check:

12 * 18 = 216
216 = 216

Correct

Find two solutions to the equation (x^3 − 64)(x^5 − 1) = 0.
Rashid [163]

Answer:

the two roots are x = 1 and x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

(x³ − 64) (x⁵ − 1) = 0.

Now,

for the above relation to be true the  following condition must be followed:

Either  (x³ − 64) = 0 ............(1)

or

(x⁵ − 1) = 0 ..........(2)

Therefore,

considering the first equation, we have

(x³ − 64) = 0

adding 64 both sides, we get

x³ − 64 + 64 = 0 + 64

or

x³ = 64

taking the cube root both the sides, we have

∛x³ = ∛64

or

x = ∛(4 × 4 × 4)

or

x = 4

similarly considering the equation (2) , we have

(x⁵ − 1) = 0

adding the number 1 both the sides, we get

x⁵ − 1 + 1 = 0 + 1

or

x⁵ = 1

taking the fifth root both the sides, we get

\sqrt[5]{x^5}=\sqrt[5]{1}

also,

1 can be written as 1⁵

therefore,

\sqrt[5]{x^5}=\sqrt[5]{1^5}

or

x = 1

Hence,

the two roots are x = 1 and x = 4

A 13m ladder is leaning on a 12m wall.how far is the bottom of the ladder from the bottom wall?
brilliants [131]

Using the Pythagorean theorem:


Distance = √(13^2 - 12^2)

Distance = √(169 - 144)

Distance = √25

Distance = 5m

Select the correct answer. Simplify the expression below. 4x(3x − 7) − 19x2 A. -7x2 − 7 B. -35x2 C. -7x2 − 28x D. -31x2 − 28x
morpeh [17]

Answer:

C. -7x^2-28x

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is 4x(3x-7)-19x^2

We apply the distributive property to expand the parenthesis

12x^2-28x-19x^2

Regroup similar terms to get:

12x^2-19x^2-28x

Combine the similar terms to obtain:

-7x^2-28x

The correct option is C.

Every year at the AP Statistics Exam reading apparel is sold to commemorate the event. Based on historical data, we know that 56
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

0.284

Step-by-step explanation:

To carry out this calculation, we begin by describing the sampling distribution of the sample proportion.

The sample size is n = 50 and the population proportion of teachers who made an apparel purchase is 0.56.

Shape: Because np = (50)(0.56) = 28 and n(1 – p) = (50)(0.44) = 22 are both at least 10, the shape of the sampling distribution of the sample proportion is approximately Normal.
