Use algebra to explain how you know that a rectangle with side lengths one less and one more than a square will always be 1 squa

re unit smaller than the square. 2. What is the difference in the areas of a square and rectangle if the rectangle has side lengths 2 less and 2 more than a square? Use algebra or a geometric model to compare the areas and justify your answer. 3. Explain why the method for factoring shown in this lesson is called the product-sum method.

My name is Ann [436]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. If a is the length of the side of the square, then a 2 is the area of the square. The rectangle’s side lengths will be (a − 1) and      (a + 1). That product, which represents the area of the rectangle, is a 2 − 1, or 1 square unit less than the area of the square.

2. Using the same logic as for Problem 1, the rectangle dimensions will be     (a + 2) and (a − 2) with an area of a 2 − 4. Therefore, the area of the rectangle is 4 square units less than the area of the original square

3. It is called the product-sum method because you look for the two numbers with a product equal to the constant term of the quadratic expression and a sum equal to the coefficient of the linear term

Troy and Lisa were shopping for school supplies. Each purchased different quantities of the same notebook and thumb drive. Troy
kari74 [83]

Answer:

Notebook is $4

Thumb drive is $23

Step-by-step explanation:

Let notebooks be x and thumb drives be y

6x+7y=$185

14x+12y=$332

These two are simultaneous equation. Multiplying the first equation by 7 and second by 3 we obtain

42x+49y=$1295

42x+36y=$996

Subtracting the third equation from the fourth

996-1295=-$299

(36-49)y=-23y

-23y=-$299

y=$299/13=$23

To get the value of x, we substitute the value of y into the first equation

6x+(7*23)=$185

6x=$185-$161

6x=$24

x=$4

Therefore, price of notebook is $4, price of thumb drive is $23

________is a ratio comparing two quantities with different kinds of units
V125BC [204]

Answer:

Rate

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate is basically also a ratio. but it is the comparing of two different quantities with different units.

As ratio is comparing of same or identical quantities thus it has no units. But on the other hand as rate is the comparison of different quantities, thus it has units.

for example:

When i compare two quantities, 1st is a distance quantity and 2nd is a time quantity i.e.

20 meters : 15 seconds

thus the lowest form of this relationship will be:

4 meters : 3 seconds

when i write it in Decimal form it becomes :

Ans : 1.33 meters/second   (Distance per unit time)

As this ratio have remaining units thus it is referred to as "RATE".
