The correct simplification of the expression is 9c^2 i think.
Given:
First side(A): 2B - 7
Second side(B): B
Third side(C): B + 4
Plug in values:
A + B + C = 80
2B - 7 + B + B + 4 = 80
If you look at the coefficients only, you can rewrite the equation like this:
2B + B + B - 7 + 4 = 80
This means that 4B - 7 + 4 = 80
=4B - 3 = 80
= 4B = 80 + 3
B = 83/4, so you can either write B as 83/4 or as 20.75.
Checking your work:
A: 2(20.75) - 7 = 34.5
B: 20.75
C: 4 + 20.75 = 24.75
34.5 + 20.75 + 24.75 = 80cm.
Hope this helped.
Answer:
<h2>D. (42 - 2x)(32 - 2x) = 900</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Look at the picture.</em>
The dimensions of the picture:
(42 - 2x)in × (32 -2x)in
The formula of an area of a rectangle:
A = l · w
l - length, w - width
Substitute l = (42 - 2x), w = (32 - 2x) and A = 900
(42 - 2x)(32 - 2x) = 900
The correct answer is C.
You can tell this by factoring the equation to get the zeros. To start, pull out the greatest common factor.
f(x) = x^4 + x^3 - 2x^2
Since each term has at least x^2, we can factor it out.
f(x) = x^2(x^2 + x - 2)
Now we can factor the inside by looking for factors of the constant, which is 2, that add up to the coefficient of x. 2 and -1 both add up to 1 and multiply to -2. So, we place these two numbers in parenthesis with an x.
f(x) = x^2(x + 2)(x - 1)
Now we can also separate the x^2 into 2 x's.
f(x) = (x)(x)(x + 2)(x - 1)
To find the zeros, we need to set them all equal to 0
x = 0
x = 0
x + 2 = 0
x = -2
x - 1 = 0
x = 1
Since there are two 0's, we know the graph just touches there. Since there are 1 of the other two numbers, we know that it crosses there.
