<h3>Answer:  320 square meters</h3>

===================================================

Explanation:

The scale factor 4 means the dimensions of the second rectangle are 4 times larger.

The width of 4 meters bumps up to 4*4 = 16 meters.

The length of 5 meters becomes 4*5 = 20 meters.

So a 4 by 5 rectangle is similar to a 16 by 20 rectangle.

The area of the second rectangle is therefore 16*20 = 320 square meters.

---------------

As an alternative, you can compute the area of the 4 by 5 rectangle to get 4*5 = 20. Then multiply this with 4^2 = 16 to get 16*20 = 320.

The 4^2 = 16 multiplier is the result of squaring the scale factor.

So if you know the dimensions have been multiplied by 4, then the area has been multiplied by 16.

In the second picture, top left is order 2, top right is order 4, bottom right is order 4, bottom left is order 2 I think but I'm not positive on that one. That's all I know for now, I'm currently in Calculus so my Geometry is a bit rusty.

Which expression shows the correct multiplication of the following polynomilas? 3x(6x^2-3x+7)
snow_tiger [21]

Answer: 18x^3-9x^2+21x

Solution:

3x(6x^2-3x+7)=

Applying the distributive property in the multiplication to eliminate the parentheses:

(3x)(6x^2)+(3x)(-3x)+(3x)(7)=

(3*6)x^(1+2)+3*(-3)x^(1+1)+(3*7)x=

18x^3-9x^2+21x

Solve for x.2 1/4x = 8 1/2
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

\large\boxed{x=3\dfrac{7}{9}}

Step-by-step explanation:

2\dfrac{1}{4}x=8\dfrac{1}{2}\qquad\text{convert the mixed numbers to the improper fractions}\\\\\dfrac{2\cdot4+1}{4}x=\dfrac{8\cdot2+1}{2}\\\\\dfrac{9}{4}x=\dfrac{17}{2}\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 4}\\\\4\!\!\!\!\diagup^1\cdot\dfrac{9}{4\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}x=4\!\!\!\!\diagup^2\cdot\dfrac{17}{2\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}\\\\9x=(2)(17)\\\\9x=34\qquad\text{divide both sides by 9}\\\\x=\dfrac{34}{9}\\\\x=3\dfrac{7}{9}
