Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Area = length * width
length: x + 3
width: x - 5
A = (x + 3)(x - 5)
Simplify (x + 3)(x - 5) using the FOIL method:
1. First numbers: multiply the first number of each binomial together--x*x = x%5E2
2. Outer numbers: multiply the outer number of each binomial (out of the entire expression, the number farthest to the left (x) and the number farthest to the right (-5))--x*-5 = -5x
3. Inner numbers: multiply the inner number of each binomial--3*x = 3x
4. Last numbers: multiply the last number of each binomial--3*-5 = -15
==> Now, add all of the results together and combine like terms: x%5E2+-+5x+%2B+3x+-+15 = x%5E2+-+2x+-+15
Therefore, A = x%5E2+-+2x+-+15
We see it is the y terms squared so it opens left or right
in form
(y-k)^2=4(p)(x-h)
vertex is (h,k)
and p is distance from focus to vertex, also distance from vertex to directix
if p>0, then it opens to the right and dirextix is to the left of vertex
if p<0, then it opens to the left and directix is tothe right of vertex
so
(y-1)^2=4(4)(x-(-3))
vertex is (-3,1)
4>0 so dirextix is to left of vertex
left is in x direction
-3-4=-7
directix is x=-7
Answer:
p > -6
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Add 12 to both sides.
p > -18 + 12
2) Simplify -18 + 12 to -6.
p > -6
Answer:
1.75 gallons
1 pint = 0.125 gallon
With that information, we can write a proportion:
= 
Cross multiply:
x = 1.75 gallons
