Answer:

The length of the bulletin board is $13\ ft$

The width of the bulletin board is $4\ ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> the length of the bulletin board

y-----> the width of the bulletin board

we know that

The area of the rectangle (bulletin board) is equal to

$A=xy$

we have

$A=52\ ft^{2}$

$52=xy$ ------> equation A

$x=4y-3$ ------> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y

$52=(4y-3)y$

$4y^{2}-3y-52=0$

Using a graphing calculator------> solve the quadratic equation

The solution is

$y=4\ ft$

see the attached figure

Find the value of x

$x=4(4)-3=13\ ft$

What is the difference of the two polynomials? (9x2 + 8x) - (2x2 + 3x)

lara [203]

Answer:

7x^2+5x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Polynomial 1: 9x^2+8x

Polynomial 2: 2x^2+3x

We have to find subtraction of both

So,

9x^2+8x - (2x^2+3x)

First of all the brackets will be eliminated by multilying the minus sign

9x^2+8x-2x^2-3x

The terms with same power of variable will be written together

9x^2-2x^2+8x-3x

=7x^2+5x ..

Please show me step by step so I can learn to explain it to my son.

These are the steps:
1. Find the area of the trapezium {Whole figure).
2. FInd the area of the rectangle (unshaded).
3. Area of the shaded = Area of trapezium - Area of the rectangle.

Step 1: Find the area of the trapezium:

Formula : Area of trapezium = 1/2 (a + b)h

Area = 1/2 ( 25 + 15) (12) = 240 yd²

Step 2 : Find the area of the rectangle:

Formula : Area = Length x Width

Area = 12 x 3 = 36 yd²

Step 3: Find the shaded region:

240 - 36 = 204 yd²

Answer: 204 yd²

Beatrice calculated the slope between two pairs of points.

kumpel [21]

Answer:

The answer in the procedure

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

step 1

Find the slope between (-3, -2) and (1, 0)

$m=\frac{0+2}{1+3}$

$m=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$

Find the equation of the line

$y-y1=m(x-x1)$

with m and the point (1,0)

substitute

$y-0=\frac{1}{2}(x-1)$

$y=\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{1}{2}$

step 2

Find the slope between (-2, -1) and (4, 2)

$m=\frac{2+1}{4+2}$

$m=\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}$

Find the equation of the line

$y-y1=m(x-x1)$

with m and the point (4,2)

substitute

$y-2=\frac{1}{2}(x-4)$

$y=\frac{1}{2}x-2+2$

$y=\frac{1}{2}x$

Compare the equation of the two lines

The two lines are parallel, because their slope is the same, but are different lines

therefore

Beatrice's conclusion is incorrect

All of these points are not on the same line, because are different parallel lines

The slope between (-2,-1) and (1,0) is equal to $\frac{1}{2}$

Help for 13-15 pls and explain for 15

Pani-rosa [81]

13. 1
14. 1
15. any number and 0 will have a quotient of 0.
for example 7/0=0 . 8/0=0 . 9/0=0
if you try and check your work using multiplication 7*0=0 . 8*0=0 . 9*0=0
then you will realize the rule is right
