Answer:
0.65 square inch
Step-by-step explanation:
Each triangle has an area given by ...
A = 1/2bh = 1/2·(0.5 in)(0.4 in) = 0.10 in²
The square base has an area given by ...
A = s² = (0.5 in)² = 0.25 in²
The total area is that of the square base and 4 triangles:
S = 0.25 in² + 4×0.10 in² = 0.65 in²
Answer:
Expand by multiplying x2+4x-4 by multiplying by x+4. Distribute and get x3+8x2+12x-16. You can verify it is correct by dividing by x+4 and you will arrive at x2+4x-4.
Initial value is when x=0
that is
f(0)=a(b^0) or
f(0)=a(1) or
f(0)=a
remember that x^0=1 for all values of x
