Answer:

a = 4 and b = - 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Expand the left side and compare like terms on both sides, that is

(x + 2)(x - 3)(x + 5) ← expand the first pair of factors using FOIL

= (x² - x - 6)(x + 5) ← distribute

= x³ + 5x² - x² - 5x - 6x - 30 ← collect like terms

= x³ + 4x² - 11x - 30

Compare like terms with x³ +ax² - 11x + b

4x² and ax² ⇒ a = 4

+ b and - 30 ⇒ b = - 30

The parallelogram shown below has an area of 404040 units^2 2 squared.
TEA [102]

Question:

The parallelogram shown below has an area of 40 units squared.

Find the missing base.

Answer:

See Explanation Below

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete as the diagram which shows the dimension of the parallelogram is not attached.

However, I'll give a general explanation on how to get the base of the parallelogram. If you follow this explanation, you'll get the right answer regarding your question.

The area of a parallelogram is calculated as thus.

Area = Base * Height

Given that the area = 40 units²

Let's assume the height of the parallelogram is 10 unit.

All you need to do is to plug in these values in the formula above..

Area = Base * Height becomes

40 = Base * 10

Divide both sides by 10

40/10 = Base * 10/10

4 = Base

Hence, Base = 4 units

Or take for instance the height is 5 units.

You'll still follow the simple steps as it is above.

Area = Base * Height becomes

40 = Base * 5

Divide both sides by 5

40/5 = Base * 5/5

8 = Base

Hence, Base = 8 units

Karolina [17]
To write 32,005,008 in expanded form, you write it out like this: <span>32,005,008 = 30,000,000 + 2,000,000 + 5,000 + 8.

I know this because I learned it in 3rd grade at school.

Hope I helped!
