Answer:

  • a) 6
  • b) 3.125 or 25/8

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

  • 1.5x² + 6x + * =
  • 1.5(x² + 4x + *) =
  • 1.5(x² + 2*2x + 4) =
  • 1.5(x + 2)²
  • * = 1.5*2² = 6

b)

  • 2x² - 5x + * =
  • 2(x² - 2.5x + *) =
  • 2(x² - 2*1.25x + 1.25²)=
  • 2(x - 1.25)²
  • * = 2*(1.25)² = 3.125  or 25/8

Answer:

Solution given;

a. 1.5x^2+6x+*

1.5(x²+4x+*)

1.5(x²+2.2x+2²)

1.5(x+2)²

b) 2x^2-5x+*

2(x²-5x/2+*)

2(x²-2×5/4 ×x +(5/4)²)

2(x-5/4)²

2. ½ of a group of chickens tried to cross the road. Only ¾ of those chickens made it to the other side. What fraction of the or
ArbitrLikvidat [17]
Let me help you visualize this one.

Let's say we have 12 chickens.

OOOOOOOOOOOO

We divide this group in half (1/2 who tried to cross the road.)

OOOOOO

And here, we need to get 3/4 of the 6 left.

3/4 can be represented as 0.75 of 1.

6 times 0.75 equals to 4.5.

OOOOC (Woah, that chicken is split in half!)

What fraction is 4.5 of the original amount?

Well, that's for you to find out! Good luck in solving this question.

Describe the two-dimensional cross section that would be created by slicing the cylinder-shaped cheese block as shown.
masha68 [24]

Answer: A RECTANGLE ( It has four sides, its opposite sides are congruent and all its angles measure 90 degrees)

Step-by-step explanation:

For this exercise it is important to remember the definition of a "Cross section".

In Geometry a "Cross section" is defined as that shape obtained when a three-dimensional figure is sliced by a plane.

In this case, according to the information given in the exercise, the cheese block has the shape of a cylinder. This is the three-dimensional figure.

Observe in the picture attached in the exercise that the  cylinder-shaped cheese block is cut through perpendicular to its base.

By definition, when this perpendicular cut happens, the shape obtained is  a Quadrilateral which has four  equal  angles that measure 90 degrees and whosepposite sides are parallel have equal length.

Therefore, you can conclude that the two-dimensional cross section that would be created by slicing the cylinder-shaped cheese block perpendicular to its base,is: A RECTANGLE.
