Answer:

  A(x) = (24 -2x)√(6(x -6))

Step-by-step explanation:

Heron's formula for the area of a triangle in terms of sides a, b, and c is ...

  A = √(s(s -a)(s -b)(s -c))

where s is the semi-perimeter.

Here, we have s = 24/2 = 12, and a = b = x, c = 24-2x. So, the area is ...

  A = √(12(12 -x)(12 -x)(12 -(24 -2x)) = (12 -x)√(12(2x -12))

  A = 2(12 -x)√(6(x -6))

Fred has 36 strawberries and 42 blueberries. He wants to use them to garnish desert so that each desert has the same number of b
DENIUS [597]
To do this problem you must find the GCF or the greatest common factor of 36 and 42. For example 36 can be made by 1 and 36 2 and 18 3 and 12 4 and 9 and 6 and 6. 42 can be made by 1 and 42 2 and 21 3 and 14 and 6 and 7. The highest common factor is 6. So, if you put 6 berries on all of the desserts, you will put 6 strawberries on 6 tarts and 6 blueberries on 7 tarts. That’s a total of 13 desserts

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

When you have two opposite numbers on a numberline, that is, a digit that has a negative value and the same digit having a positive value, when you add them together, we would have 0.

i.e. -a + b = 0

In the above options given, the numberline that shows this particular case is the numberline in option D.

In option D numberline, the sum of -1 and +1 equals zero.

The cost of renting a game at the video store can be described by the function y=5x+4
topjm [15]

Answer:

2 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the given formula

y = 5x + 4

The information:

y is the money spent

x is the number of days

It is known that Justin spent $18

so now just substitute in that value

$18 = 5x + 4

and simplfiy by inverse operations

18 = 5x + 4

-4        -4

14 = 5x

/5    /5

2.8 = x

As per this problem, one can infer that renting a game is done by days, and will be charged in days, hence renting a game for 0.8 days is pointless

meaning that the final answer is 2 full days
