Given, To make a strawberry shortcake for one person, we need :

▪︎ $\frac{1}{3}$ cup of strawberry

▪︎one shortbread biscuit

Quantity of strawberries Elisa has = 3 cups

Number of shortbread biscuits she has = 12

Number of shortcakes she can make :

$= \tt3 \div \frac{1}{3}$

$= \tt\frac{3 \times 3}{1}$

$\color{plum} =\tt 9 \: people$

Thus, Elisa can serve strawberry shortcakes to 9 people.

With 12 dozen shortbread biscuits she can serve 12 people.

Quantity of strawberries needed to serve 12 people :

$=\tt \frac{1}{3} \times 12$

$=\tt \frac{12}{3}$

$\color{plum} = \tt4 \: cups$

<h3>○=> Therefore :</h3>

▪︎Elisa can serve strawberry shortcakes to <u>9 people</u>.

▪︎Elisa will need <u>4 cups of strawberries</u> if she wants to use all dozen shortbread biscuits.

In the diagram, FG=34, GH=288, and HJ=256. Is GH tangent to circle F?

Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

If GH is tangent to circle F, then it forms a right angle with FG. Therefore, triangle FGH would be a right triangle and would satisfy Pythagorean theorem.

34² + 256² = 288²

66692 = 82944

The sides are not a Pythagorean triple, so GH is not tangent to the circle.

Foil: (x+9)(3x-4)

QveST [7]

QUESTION 1

The given binomial is;

$(x+9)(3x-4)$

First terms are multiplied: $x\times 3x=3x^2$

Outside terms are multiplied: $x\times -4=-4x$

Inside terms are multiplied: $9\times 3x=27x$

Last terms are Multiplied: $9\times -4=-36$

This gives us;

$=3x^2-4x+27x-36$

$=3x^2+23x-36$

QUESTION 2

We want to factor

$6r^5s+4r^4s^2-8r^2s$

The HCF is $2r^2s$

We factor to get;

$2r^2s(3r^3+2r^2s-4)$

QUESTION 3;

$x^2+x-2=0$

Split the middle term;

$x^2+2x-x-2=0$

Factor

$x(x+2)-1(x+2)=0$

$(x+2)(x-1)=0$

$(x+2)=0,(x-1)=0$

$x=-2,x=1$

The solutions are;

$x=-2$ and $x=1$

These are the x-intercepts of the graph of the function

$f(x)=x^2+x-2$

For which equation does it make the most sense to solve by completing the square?

daser333 [38]

The equation for which square method is possible is x²-8=1

Step-by-step explanation:

For checking which of the equation satisfies the complete square condition, we proceed by checking each of the available options

1). x²+20x=52

Rewriting it as x²+20x-52

This binomial expression is not a perfect square since the product of the coefficient of x²(i.e. 1) and independent constant (i.e. 52) is not a perfect square.

2). 5x² + 3x = 9

This equation can be rearranged as 5x²+3x-9=0

This binomial expression is not a perfect square since the product of the coefficient of x²(i.e. 5) and independent constant(i.e. 9) is not a perfect square.

3.) x² −8=1

This equation can be rearranged as x²=9

Hence x= ±3

This binomial expression is a perfect square and can be done by the square method.

4). 3x² −x+17=0

This binomial expression is not a perfect square since the product of the coefficient of x²(i.e. 3) and independent constant(i.e. 17) is not a perfect square.
