Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Please use " ^ " to indicate exponentiation:

A = x^2 + 9x - 36. This factors into A = (x + 12)(x - 3). We can assume that the length of the parallelogram is x + 12 and that the width is x - 3.

Note that if x = 3 the area becomes zero. So: x must be greater than 3, so that the (x - 3) factor is positive.

Example: If x = 4, then the dimensions of the parallelogram are 4 + 12, or 16, and 4 - 3, or 1.

3 people work full time together on a project, but their total time on the project is to be equivalent to only 1 person working

NikAS [45]

Let x = the amount of time that the third person needs to work on the job to add up to one

1 = 1/2 + 1/3 + x

1 - 1/2 - 1/3 = x

To subtract the fractions we need to put them all over a common denominator. Let's use 3*2 = 6 as the denominator; so 1 = 6/6, 1/2 = 3/6, 1/3 = 2/6:

6/6 - 3/6 - 2/6 = x

1/6 = x

The third person must work 1/6 time on the project.

Decompose 3/8 as the sum of unit fractions

bearhunter [10]

Unit fractions are fractions with a 1 as the numerator(number on top)
so 3/8 equals 1/8+1/8+1/8
