12 students are girls and 8 are boys.
It depends on what its asking for and what dimension it is. If its 2D, the area is lengthXwidth, and perimeter you would add all the side lengths. If its 3D, volume is lengthXwidthXheigth.
The answer is 3y-7.hope this helps
Answer: second option y = 2(x + 7/2)^2 + 1/2
Explanation:
1) given:
y = (x + 3)^2 + (x + 4)^2
2) expand the binomials:
y = x^2 + 6x + 9 + x^2 + 8x + 16
3) add like terms:
y = 2x^2 + 14x + 25
4) take common factor 2 of the first two terms:
y = 2 (x^2 + 7x) + 25
5) complete squares for x^2 + 7x
x^2 + 7x = [x +(7/2)x ]^2 - 49/4
6) substitue x^2 + 7x = (x + 7/2)^2 - 49/4 in the equation for y:
y = 2 [ (x + 7/2)^2 - 49/4] + 25
7) take -49/4 out of the square brackets.
y = 2 (x + 7/2)^2 - 49/2 + 25
8) add like terms:
y = 2(x + 7/2)^2 + 1/2
And that is the vertex for of the given expression.
