Question 1: The area of a rectangular carpet is given by the trinomial 5x^2 - 3x -
14. What are the possible dimensions of the carpet? Use factoring.
Answer: 5x^2 -3x -14
Explanation:
You might probe the different pairs of factors given in the answer choices to check wich product is equal to the oirginal polynomial or you can factor from zero.
I will show you how to factor that polynomial from zero:
1) given: 5x^2 - 3x - 14
2) multiply and divide by the leading coefficient =>
5 [5x^2 - 3x -14 ]
----------------------
5
3) Enter the the factor 5 inside the parenthesis:
5.5x^2 - 5.3x - 5.14
--------------------------
5
4) rearrange conviniently to show (5x) as a common factir of the first two terms
(5x)^2 - 3(5x) - 70
--------------------------
5
5) factor the numerator using 5x as common term of the two binomials:
(5x ) ( 5x ) <----> open the parenthesis
(5x - ) (5x + ) <-----> include the signs
(5x - 10) (5x + 7) <---> two numbers that add up - 3 and their product is - 70
=>
(5x - 10)(5x + 7)
---------------------
5
6) divide (5x - 10) by 5 => x - 2
7) factored expression
(x - 2) (5x + 7)
8) Conclusion: the answer is the option B. (5x + 7) and (x - 2)
2. Question 2. The area of a rectangular barnyard is given by the trinomial 6x^2 +
7x – 20. What are the possible dimensions of the barnyard? Use factoring
Answer: </span><span><span>option C. (2x + 5)(3x - 4)</span>
Explanation:
The procedure is the same of the question 1.
1) given: 6x^2 + 7x - 20
2) multiply numerator and denominator by 6 and rearrange to show (6x) as common factor ot the first two terms =>
(6x)^2 + 7(6x) - 120
--------------------------
6
3) factor the numerador using 6x as common factor ot two binomials, and simplify:
(6x + )(6x - )
(6x + )(6x - )
(6x + 15) (6x - 8)
=>
(6x + 15)(6x -8)
---------------------
6
(6x + 15)(6x - 8)
---------------------- =
3.2
(6x + 15) (6x - 8)
------------- . ------------ =
3 2
(2x + 5)(3x - 4)
4) answer: option C. (2x + 5)(3x - 4)</span>
Notice that the line with negative slope has a y-intercept of 5 and the line with positive slope has a y-intercept of 2.
On the other hand, the slope of the line with negative slope is -2, while the slope of the line with positive slope is 3 (This can be identified since in one case, the value of y decreases by 2 for each increase of 1 unit in x, and in the other, the value of y increases by 3 for each increase of 1 unit in x).
Using the y-intercept form to represent each line, the system of equations represented by the graph must be equivalent to:
From the given options, the one that displays the correct system of equations is option A.
Therefore, the answer is:
The correct answer is 2.5 cm
Explanation:
In any polygon, the area refers to the total space occupied by the polygon. In the case of triangles, the area can be calculated by multiplying the base and height and then dividing the by 2. This means b x h / 2 = area of a triangle. According to this, the area of the triangle presented is 15
5 cm (base) x 6 cm (height) = 30 cm
30 cm / 2 = 15 cm (total area)
This also means the area of the rectangle is 15 considering both figures have the same area. Additionally, the area in rectangles is calculated by multiplying the length base by the width. This implies in the case presented 6 cm x w cm = 15 cm (total area), and you can determine the value of w by using a simple equation as
6 x w = 15
w = 15 / 6
w = 2.5
Also, you can know this is the correct value because 6 cm (length) x 2.5 (width) = 15 cm which is the correct area
Answer:
1/12
Step-by-step explanation:
The whole circumference (i.e complete circle) is an arc which measures 360°
in our case, it is given that our arc measures only 30°
the fraction of our arc of 30° to the complete circle of 360° is
30/360
= 3/36
= 1/12
Answer:
length = 8
width = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Area = length x breadth
Let x represent the width
length = x + 4
32 = x × (x + 4)
32 = x² + 4x
x² + 4x - 32 = 0
solving using quadratic equation =
(x² - 4x) -32 + 8x
x = 4 or -8
since width cannot be a negative number, we would use 4
