4 1/2 = 9/2
8 1/4 = 33/4
1/3 x 9/2 = 3/2
1/3 x 33/4 = 33/12
Let find the least of common multiple = LCM it’s for the denominators.
Multiple of the numerator then the denominator to get the denominators
Don’t forget to to add the numerator but leave the denominators the same
Answer:
D. 49
Step-by-step explanation:
When completing the square, you take the value after x^2 which is 14 and divide it by 2 which equals 7 for which you then square that number which 7 times 7 = 49
Answer:
- 525 = (w+4)(w)
- 21 ft by 25 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Let w represent the width of the floor. Then the length of the floor is (w+4) and its area is ...
A = LW
525 = (w+4)(w)
w^2 +4w -525 = 0
(w -21)(w +25) = 0 . . . . factor the above
Solutions are ...
w = 21, w = -25
We are interested in the positive solution: w = 21.
The floor is 21 feet wide and 25 feet long.
_____
<em>Alternate solution</em>
Sometimes, when the factors aren't obvious, it works well to write an equation for the average of the dimensions. Here, we can represent that with x, and use (x-2) for the width, and (x+2) for the length. Then we have ...
525 = (x-2)(x+2) = x^2 -4
529 = x^2
√529 = 23 = x
Then w=23 -2 = 21, and the length is w+4 = 25.
