Answers:
Part A: 12y² + 10y – 21
Part B: 4y³ + 6y² + 6y – 5
Part C: See below.
Explanations:
Part A:
For this part, you add Sides 1, 2 and 3 together by combining like terms:
Side 1 = 3y² + 2y – 6
Side 2 = 4y² + 3y – 7
Side 3 = 5y² + 5y – 8
3y² + 2y – 6 + 4y² + 3y – 7 + 5y² + 5y – 8
Combine like terms:
3y² + 4y² + 5y² + 2y + 3y + 5y – 6 – 7 – 8
12y² + 10y – 21
Part B:
You have the total perimeter and the sum of three of the sides, so you just need that fourth side value, which we can call d.
P = 4y³ + 18y² + 16y – 26
Sides 1, 2 & 3 = 12y² + 10y – 21
Create an algebraic expression:
12y² + 10y – 21 + d = 4y³ + 18y² + 16y – 26
Solve for d:
12y² + 10y – 21 + d = 4y³ + 18y² + 16y – 26
– 12y² – 12y²
10y – 21 + d = 4y³ + 6y² + 16y – 26
– 10y – 10y
– 21 + d = 4y³ + 6y² + 6y – 26
+ 21 + 21
d = 4y³ + 6y² + 6y – 5
Part C:
If closed means that the degree that these polynomials are at stay that way, then yes, this is true in these cases because you will notice that each side had a y², y and no coefficient value except for the fourth one. This didn't change, because you only add and subtract like terms.
<span>Since they are playing in the space, gravity or the lack of it plays a huge role here. When the first astronaut throws the second astronaut toward the third one and due to the force exerted they would be moving in the opposite direction and there won't be any catch. Hence the game does not continue after the first throw.</span>
You plug 11 in where x is.
r(11) = (11 + 1)(11 - 3)
= (12)(8)
= 96
your answer would be 13.5
A is the answer because its right according to the chart
