Answer:
<em>Thus, the dimensions of the metal plate are 10 dm and 8 dm.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
For a quadratic equation:

The sum of the roots is -b and the product is c. Note the leading coefficient is 1.
We know the perimeter of the rectangular metal plate is 36 dm and its area is 80 dm^2. Being L and W its dimensions, then:
P=2(L+W)=36
A=L.W=80
Note both formulas are closely related to the roots of the quadratic equation, we only need to adjust the data for the perimeter to be exactly the sum of L+W and not double of it.
Thus we use the semi perimeter instead as P/2=L+W=18
The quadratic equation is, then:

Factoring by finding two numbers that add up to 18 and have a product of 80:

The solutions to the equation are:
x=10, x=8
Thus, the dimensions of the metal plate are 10 dm and 8 dm.
Answer:
x < 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write inequality
2x < 8
Step 2: Divide both sides by 2
x < 4
We see here that any value of <em>x</em> less than 4 will work. So numbers like 1, 0, -124 or even -14687206589174 would work.
Answer: option 2. x²-1
Step-by-step explanation:
concept to know: a²-b²=(a+b)(a-b)
------------
(a+b)(a-b)=a²+b²
(x+1)(x-1)=x²-1
Hope this helps!! :)

D. 53.659 seconds
explanation: 27.98+25.679 = 53.659
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, Diana wants her total bill to be less than $50.
Diana pays a fixed monthly bill of
$39 for her mobile phone and an additional
$0.15 per minute for phone internet service.
The bill Diana pays for m minutes of using the internet is $0.15m in a month.
The total monthly bill becomes,

The maximum bill she wants to pay is $50.

This inequality can be solved to determine the number of available minutes.
