Answer:</h3>
42. 29°
43. 3x³ +2x² -3x +10
44. 20a² +68a
<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
42. The right-angle corner tells you the two marked angles are complementary — they sum to 90°.
(-3x +20)° + (-2x +55)° = 90°
-5x +75 = 90 . . . . . . . . . . collect terms, divide by °
-5x = 15 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 75
x = -3 . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x
The angle of interest is (-3x+20)°. Filling in the found value for x, we have ...
(-3·(-3) +20)° = 29° = m∠BDC
___
43. The distributive property is useful for multiplying polynomials.
(x +2)(3x² -4x +5) = x(3x² -4x +5) +2(3x² -4x +5)
= 3x³ -4x² +5x +6x² -8x +10 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
= 3x³ +2x² -3x +10
___
44. Area is the product of length and width, so this becomes a problem in multiplying polynomials.
area = (5a +17)(4a) = 20a² +68a . . . . area in square feet
You can’t simplify it any further. 288 1/4 is already simplified.
Answer:
Read the sentence below, which appears in the brochure “Nanotechnology: Big Things from a Tiny World.” As you read, look for context clues that could help you define any scientific terms.
Scientists have also developed sensors to measure pesticide levels in the field, allowing farmers to use less while still protecting their plants.
According to the context clues provided by the author, what is a pesticide?

Answer:
7.5×10^4
Step-by-step explanation:
Move the decimal so there is one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. The number of decimal places you move will be the exponent on the 10. If the decimal is being moved to the right, the exponent will be negative. If the decimal is being moved to the left, the exponent will be positive.

Solve each problem. Volume of a Box A piece of sheet metal is 2.5 times as long as it is wide. It is to be made into a box with an open top by cutting 3 -inch squares from each corner and folding up the sides, as shown at the top of the next page. Let x
represent the width of the original piece of sheet metal. (a) Represent the length of the original piece of sheet metal in terms of x.
(b) What are the restrictions on x?
(c) Determine a function V
that represents the volume of the box in terms of x
(d) For what values of x
(that is, original widths) will the volume of the box be between 600 and 800 cubic inches? Determine the answer graphically, and give values to the nearest tenth of an inch
