Question 1: The area of a rectangular carpet is given by the trinomial 5x^2 - 3x -
14. What are the possible dimensions of the carpet? Use factoring.
Answer: 5x^2 -3x -14
Explanation:
You might probe the different pairs of factors given in the answer choices to check wich product is equal to the oirginal polynomial or you can factor from zero.
I will show you how to factor that polynomial from zero:
1) given: 5x^2 - 3x - 14
2) multiply and divide by the leading coefficient =>
5 [5x^2 - 3x -14 ]
----------------------
5
3) Enter the the factor 5 inside the parenthesis:
5.5x^2 - 5.3x - 5.14
--------------------------
5
4) rearrange conviniently to show (5x) as a common factir of the first two terms
(5x)^2 - 3(5x) - 70
--------------------------
5
5) factor the numerator using 5x as common term of the two binomials:
(5x ) ( 5x ) <----> open the parenthesis
(5x - ) (5x + ) <-----> include the signs
(5x - 10) (5x + 7) <---> two numbers that add up - 3 and their product is - 70
=>
(5x - 10)(5x + 7)
---------------------
5
6) divide (5x - 10) by 5 => x - 2
7) factored expression
(x - 2) (5x + 7)
8) Conclusion: the answer is the option B. (5x + 7) and (x - 2)
2. Question 2. The area of a rectangular barnyard is given by the trinomial 6x^2 +
7x – 20. What are the possible dimensions of the barnyard? Use factoring
Answer: </span><span><span>option C. (2x + 5)(3x - 4)</span>
Explanation:
The procedure is the same of the question 1.
1) given: 6x^2 + 7x - 20
2) multiply numerator and denominator by 6 and rearrange to show (6x) as common factor ot the first two terms =>
(6x)^2 + 7(6x) - 120
--------------------------
6
3) factor the numerador using 6x as common factor ot two binomials, and simplify:
(6x + )(6x - )
(6x + )(6x - )
(6x + 15) (6x - 8)
=>
(6x + 15)(6x -8)
---------------------
6
(6x + 15)(6x - 8)
---------------------- =
3.2
(6x + 15) (6x - 8)
------------- . ------------ =
3 2
(2x + 5)(3x - 4)
4) answer: option C. (2x + 5)(3x - 4)</span>
Answer:
y ≥-3x+4
Step-by-step explanation:
X > -10 + 5
bring the five to the other side of the equation and change the sign in front
x > -5
Answer:
78
Step-by-step explanation:
You would look at the middle number of all the numbers to find the median.
Hope this helps!
Hey there! I'm happy to help!
We have $100.75 to spend.
Each spool costs $3, and we have 24 spools.
3×24=72
Each glue costs $1 and we have 7 packages of glue.
7×1=7
We add up these expenses.
72+7=79
And we subtract from our total amount.
100.75-79=21.75
So, Joanna has $21.75 left after buying these things.
Have a wonderful day and keep on learning! :D
