Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The parallel segment divides the 2 sides of the triangle proportionally, that is
=
( cross- multiply )
12x = 48 ( divide both sides by 12 )
x = 4
Answer:
The original length was 41 inches and the original width was 16 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> the original length of the piece of metal
y ----> the original width of the piece of metal
we know that
When squares with sides 5 in long are cut from the four corners and the flaps are folded upward to form an open box
The dimensions of the box are

The volume of the box is equal to


so

simplify
-----> equation A
Remember that
The piece of metal is 25 in longer than it is wide
so
----> equation B
substitute equation B in equation A

solve for y

Solve the quadratic equation by graphing
using a graphing tool
The solution is y=16
see the attached figure
Find the value of x

therefore
The original length was 41 inches and the original width was 16 inches
1. a. Pretty much, you just have to rearrange it so that the highest power is in the front. So, here's your answer:
b. It's a 4th-degree polynomial. A degree means that "what's the highest power?"
c. It's a trinomial. It has 3 terms, hence it's a
trinomial.
2. a. Since it's an odd power and a negative coefficient, it will be:
x→∞, f(x)→-∞
x→-∞, f(x)→∞
b. The degree is even and the coefficient is negative, so it will be:
x→∞, f(x)→-∞
x→-∞, f(x)→-∞
3. a. This basically means that if you solve for x, you should get -2, 1, and 2. So, to do this, you can just write it in factored form and multiply inwards using any method of your choice (remember that in the parentheses, you should get the above value if you solve for x):

If you multiply it out, you get (also your answer):
4. The zeros are at
x = 3, 2 and
-7.
Multiplicity of 3 is
1, for 2 it's
2, and for -7 it's
3.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
580
Step-by-step explanation:
4*100=400
4*40=160
4*5=20
add them all up, you get 580
