Answer:
a) (2x+7)(x-4)
b) x = -7/2 and x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
a) (2x ?)(x ?)
set up the above and considered factors of 28 that, when paired with 2, would give me -1x and -28 → (1·28, 2·14, 4·7)
after trial-and-error, found that 4 and 7 worked (used un-FOIL)
b) 2x + 7 = 0
2x = -7
x = -7/2
*********
x-4 = 0
x = 4
Let h represent the height of the trapezoid, the perpendicular distance between AB and DC. Then the area of the trapezoid is
Area = (1/2)(AB + DC)·h
We are given a relationship between AB and DC, so we can write
Area = (1/2)(AB + AB/4)·h = (5/8)AB·h
The given dimensions let us determine the area of ∆BCE to be
Area ∆BCE = (1/2)(5 cm)(12 cm) = 30 cm²
The total area of the trapezoid is also the sum of the areas ...
Area = Area ∆BCE + Area ∆ABE + Area ∆DCE
Since AE = 1/3(AD), the perpendicular distance from E to AB will be h/3. The areas of the two smaller triangles can be computed as
Area ∆ABE = (1/2)(AB)·h/3 = (1/6)AB·h
Area ∆DCE = (1/2)(DC)·(2/3)h = (1/2)(AB/4)·(2/3)h = (1/12)AB·h
Putting all of the above into the equation for the total area of the trapezoid, we have
Area = (5/8)AB·h = 30 cm² + (1/6)AB·h + (1/12)AB·h
(5/8 -1/6 -1/12)AB·h = 30 cm²
AB·h = (30 cm²)/(3/8) = 80 cm²
Then the area of the trapezoid is
Area = (5/8)AB·h = (5/8)·80 cm² = 50 cm²
Answer:
I think that -0.0000002 is the least, but I don't know the rest. I hope you can find the rest though. Happy Holidays!
Step-by-step explanation:
For this case we have that by definition, the equation of a line of the slope-intersection form is given by:

Where:
m: It's the slope
b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis
While the point-slope equation of a line is given by:

Where:
m: It's the slope
It is a point through which the line passes
In this case we have a line through:
(8,4) and (0,2)
Therefore, its slope is:

Its point-slope equation is:

Then, we manipulate the expression to find the equation of the slope-intersection form:

Therefore, the cut-off point with the y-axis is

Answer:
38,660
Step-by-step explanation:
54 thousands 6 hundreds 12 tens – 15 thousands 8 hundreds 26 tens
54 thousands = 54000
6 hundreds = 600
12 ten = 12*10 = 120
54 thousands 6 hundreds 12 tens = 54000+600+120 = 54720
15 thousands = 15000
8 hundreds = 800
26 tens = 26*10 = 260
15 thousands 8 hundreds 26 tens = 15000+800+260 = 16060
Thus,
54 thousands 6 hundreds 12 tens – 15 thousands 8 hundreds 26 tens
= 54720- 16060 = 38,660 (Answer)
