The length of one base of a trapezoid is 19 less than five times the length of the other base. If the trapezoid has a height of

18 feet and an area of 477 ft squared, find the length of the longer base.

Area of a trapezoid: [(top +bottom)*height]/2
suppose the length of one base is x, then the other base is 5x-19
[(x+5x-19)*18]/2=477
[6x-19]*18=954
6x-19=53
6x=72
x=12
The longer base is 5*12-19=41

16x2 + 10x – 27 = -6x + 5<br> What are the solutions to this equation ?<br> X<br> x=
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

x=-2              x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

16x2 + 10x – 27 = -6x + 5

Add 6x to each side

16x^2+6x + 10x – 27 = -6x+6x + 5

16x^2 +16x -27 = 5

Subtract 5 from each side

16x^2 + 16x – 27-5 = 5 - 5

16x^2 +16x -32 = 0

Factor out 16

16 (x^2 +x-2)=0

Factor

16 (x+2) (x-1) =0

Using the zero product property

  (x+2) =0     x-1=0

x=-2              x=1

HELP PLEASE 40 POINTS The graph shows the prices of different numbers of bushels of corn at a store in the current year. The tab
Vesna [10]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

Since the lines goes through the point (0,0) the graph is proportional. We can find the rate of change by take the price of corn and dividing by the number of bushels

24/3 = 8 dollars/ bushel

Part B

Previous Year Number of Bushels Price of Corn (dollars)

                                                  3 21

                                                 6 42

                                                  9 63

                                                 12 84

We can find the rate of change for the previous year by using the slope formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (84-63)/(12-9)

    =21 / 3  

    = 7

The previous year was 7 dollars per bushel

The increase was 8-7 = 1 dollar per bushel
