Hi there! :)

$\large\boxed{P = 32cm}$

Find the perimeter by solving for y.

We know that a rectangle contains two pairs of parallel and congruent sides, therefore:

5y - 1 = 2y + 8

We can solve for y using this expression. Begin by subtracting 2y from both sides:

5y - 2y - 1 = 2y - 2y + 8

3y - 1 = 8

Add 1 to both sides:

3y - 1 + 1 = 8 + 1

3y = 9

Divide both sides by 3:

y = 3

Recall that the perimeter of a rectangle is:

P = 2l + 2w

Plug in the given expressions for the side lengths to find one equation:

P = 2(5y - 1) + 2(y - 1)

Simplify by distribution:

P = 10y - 2 + 2y - 2

Combine like terms:

P = 12y - 4

Plug in the solved value of y into this equation:

P = 12(3) - 4

P = 36 - 4

P = 32 cm.

An object is launched straight into the air. The projectile motion of the object can be modeled using h(t) = 96t – 16t2, where t

ratelena [41]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that height of projectile after t seconds is given by

$h(t)=96t-16t^2$

a.h(t)=144 ft

$144=96t-16t^2$

$16t^2-96t+144=0$

$t^2-6t+9=0$

$t^2-3t-3t+9=0$

$t(t-3)-3(t-3)=0$

$(t-3)(t-3)=0$

t-3=0

t=3

After 3 s, the height of the project will be 144 feet in the air.

b.h(t)=0

$96t-16t^2=0$

$16t(6-t)=0$

$16t=0\implies t=0$

$6-t=0\implies t=6$

At t=0, the initial position of projectile

At t=6 s , the projectile will hit the ground.

The lengths of three sides of a quadrilateral are shown below:

sasho [114]

Part A: To find the lengths of sides 1, 2, and 3, we need to add them together. We can do this by combining like terms (terms that have the same variables, or no variables).

(3y² + 2y − 6) + (3y − 7 + 4y²) + (−8 + 5y² + 4y)

We can now group them.

(3y² + 4y² + 5y²) + (2y + 3y + 4y) + (-6 - 7 - 8)

Now we simplify

12y² + 9y - 21

Part B: To find the length of the 4th side, we need to subtract the combined length of the 3 sides we know from the total length (perimeter).

(4y³ + 18y² + 16y − 26) - (12y² + 9y - 21)

Simplify, subtract like terms.

4y³ + (18y² - 12y²) + (16y - 9y) + (-26 + 21)

4y³ + 6y² + 7y - 5 is the length of the 4th side.

Part C (sorry for the bad explanation): A set of numbers is closed, or has closure, under a given operation if the result of the operation on any two numbers in the set is also in the set. For example, the set of real numbers is closed under addition, because adding any two real numbers results in another real number. Likewise, the real numbers are closed under subtraction, multiplication and division (by a nonzero real number), because performing these operations on two real numbers always yields another real number.

<em>Polynomials are closed under the same operations as integers. </em>
