Answer:

A, M(x)=3/2 (x^2-6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's calculate the area of the figure 1st,

Area of figure=Area of triangle+Area of rectangle

=1/2 b*h + l*b = 1/2 (x+2)x + (x+2)(x-3)

=(x^2+2x)/2+x^2 - x - 6 =(x^2+2x+2x^2 - 2x -12)/2

=3x^2-12/2=3/2(x^2-6)

In the options,

M(x)=3/2 (x^2-6) is given, so it best represents the area.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of figure=Area of rectangle+Area of triangle

Area of figure=(x+2)(x-3)+1/2*(x)*(x+2)

Area of figure=x^2-x-6+0.5*x^2+x

Area of figure=(3/2)x^2-6

how do you rewrite : y=x^2-5x+9 in standard form using complying the square? I keep getting to : x^2-5x-25/4 but I’m not allowed

yawa3891 [41]

I presume with this you meant to say you want this equation in general form, also known as vertex form, which is y = a(x - h)² + k, instead of standard form, which is y = ax² + bx + c, which is what the original equation is already in.

So with completing the square, you first have to isolate the x-terms. To do this, subtract 9 on both sides of the equation:

$y-9=x^2-5x$

Next, we want to make the right side of the equation a perfect square. To find the constant of this soon-to-be perfect square, divide the x-coefficient by 2 and square that quotient. In this case:

$-5\div 2 = -\frac{5}{2}\\\\(-\frac{5}{2})^2=-\frac{5}{2}\times-\frac{5}{2}=\frac{25}{4}$

Now add 25/4 on both sides of the equation:

$y-9+\frac{25}{4}=x^2-5x+\frac{25}{4}$

Now to combine -9/1 and 25/4, they must have the same denominator, and to find it you must find the LCD, or lowest common denominator, of 1 and 4. To find it, list the multiples of both and the lowest one they share is their LCD. In this case, the LCD is 4. Multiply both sides of -9/1 by 4/4 and then add the numerators up:

$-\frac{9}{1}\times \frac{4}{4}=-\frac{36}{4}\\\\-\frac{36}{4}+\frac{25}{4}=-\frac{11}{4}\\\\y-\frac{11}{4}=x^2-5x+\frac{25}{4}$
