Answer:
He should buy the 4 x 10 rug because it has the larger area.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the area of a rectangle or square, you multiply length by width (A=l x w). 5x7=35 and 4x10=40, so 4 x 10 has the bigger area.

Answer: 53,560 dollars</h3>
=======================================================
Explanation:
Having the salary increase by 3% means we can use the multiplier 1.03
Think of it like 100% + 3% = 1 + 0.03 = 1.03
The new salary is 52,000*1.03 = 53,560 dollars
----------------
The slightly longer way to do this is to first figure out how much 3% of 52,000 is
3% of 52,000 = 0.03*52,000 = 1560
Ricardo earns $1560 more dollars on top of the salary of $52,000
So overall his new salary is $1,560 + $52,000 = $53,560
----------------
Personally, I prefer the first method because it's quicker and it allows for multiple percentage increases to chain together. It also could be used to chain in percentage decreases as well.
Answer: x=−2
Step-by-step explanation:
To know the range of the equation, you must first see the graph by plotting arbitrary points. Set values of x in any interval and substitute it to the equation. You would get a corresponding value of f(x) or y. When you plot the points, the graph would look like that in the picture.
The range of the graph refers to the coverage of y-values of the curve. From the picture, we could see that it covers most of the negative y-axis. To know at which value, let's find the maxima. There is no minima for this graph as you can see because it extends downwards infinitely at both sides.
To find the maxima, differentitate f(x) with respect to x and equate to 0
f'(x) = 0 = -20-2x-12x^3=0
You can find the roots easily by using a scientific calculator using the mode EQN. For this equation, there are 2 complex root and 1 real root. Thus, x = -1.14. Substitute this to the original equation:
y = 13 - 20(-1.14) - (-1.14)^2 -3(-1.14)^4
y = 29.433
Thus, the maxima is at point (-1.14,29.433). It can't be seen clearly in the graph because of the close intervals.
