Answer:

AB = 4.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = sum of areas of two rectangles

36 = [x(x - 4)] + [(x - 2)(2x + x)]

36 = x² - 4x + 3x² - 6x

4x² - 10x - 36 = 0

Dividing by 2:

2x² - 5x - 18 = 0

2x² - 9x + 4x - 18 = 0

x(2x - 9) + 2(2x - 9) = 0

(2x - 9)(x + 2) = 0

x = -2, 9/2

AB = x = 4½ cm

Answer:

AB = 9/2 cm

AB = 4.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of small rectangle

x * (x-4) = x^2 -4x

The area of  the big rectangle

The height is 2x +x  and the width is x-2

(2x+x) * (x-2)

(3x) * (x-2)

3x^2 -6x

Add the areas together

x^2 -4x + 3x^2 -6x

4x^2 -10x

This is equal to 36

4x^2 -10x=36

Subtract 36 from each side

4x^2 -10x -36=36-36

4x^2 -10x-36=0

Divide each side by 2

2x^2 -5x -18=0

Factor

(x + 2) (2 x - 9) = 0

Using the zero product property

x+2=0  2x-9=0

x = -2   2x =9

x = -2   x = 9/2

Since we cant have a negative length

x = 9/2

AB = 9/2 cm

Antoine and Tess have a disagreement over how to compute a 15% gratuity on $46.00.
asambeis [7]

Answer:

How would Antonio respond....she would say "Thanks for the practice ".

Tess is right about it being easy to find 10% of 46 by moving the decimal point 1 place to the left to get 4.60.....but there is no need to do that twice....because if u do 10% twice, ur doing 20%.

okay....once u get 10% of 46 = 4.60....then u figure 5% of 46 = (0.05(46) = 2.30....because 10% + 5% = 15%.....then u add those together.....4.60 + 2.30 = 6.90. This can easily be checked...15% of 46 = 0.15(46) = 6.9 ,just like 10% of 46 + 5% of 46 = 6.9

Parallel lines are cut by a transversal such that the alternate interior angles have measures of 3x + 17 and x + 53 degrees. Th
vekshin1
It is a rule that alternate angles are equal, so using this fact, we can say that:
3x + 17 = x + 53
- x
2x + 17 = 53
- 17
2x = 36
÷ 2
x = 18
Which means that your answer would be B. x = 18
I hope this helps!

Find the vertex for the parabola given by the function ƒ(x) = −3x^2 − 6x.
telo118 [61]

Answer:

B) (−1, 3)  

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of a quadratic function is  

y = ax² + bx + c

The vertex form of a parabola is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola.

h = -b/(2a) and k = f(h)

In your equation, ƒ(x) = −3x² − 6x

a = -3; b = -6; c = 0

Calculate h

h = -(-6)/2(-3)]

h = 6/(-6)

h = -1

Calculate k

k = -3(-1)² -6(-1)

k = -3 + 6

k = 3

So, h = -1, k = 3, a = -3

The vertex form of the equation is  f(x) = -3(x + 1)² + 3.

The vertex is at (-1, 3).

The figure below shows the graph of ƒ(x) = −3x² − 6x  with the vertex

at (-1, 3).
