Answer:
-1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
2(-1/4)(3)
=-1.5
You replace x with -1/4 and y with 3 inside of parenthesis
The current area is 15 x 9 = 135 square feet.
He wants to increase both the length and width by X:
Set up an equation:
(15 +x) * (9 +x) = 135 * 2
Simplify :
x^2 + 24x + 135 = 270
Subtract 270 from both sides:
x^2 + 24x - 135 = 0
Use the quadratic formula to solve for x:
-24 +/- √(24^2 - 4(1*-135) / 2*1
x = 4.7 or -28.7
The answer has to be a positive value, so x = 4.7 feet.
B is the correct answer
slope-intercept is in the form y = mx + b
<span>You are given a rectangular picture measuring 8 inches by 7 inches. Also, Alistair wants this to be framed and that the total area is 34 square inches. The width of the frame is x inches. To solve the dimension of the frame with value of x we have:
We have to assume that x here will be equal to all sides of the frame and so, using the area of the rectangle, we can model the equation like this:
A = LW (where A is the area, L is the length and W is the width)
36 = (8 - x)(7 - x)
36 = 56 - 8x - 7x + x</span>²
<span>x</span>² - 15x +20 = 0 → model of our equation and in quadratic form
x² - 15x + 20 = 0
using a calculator, x = 1.48 inches

3.Use the equation you created in part A to find the width of the picture frame</span>
It's growth and the y-intercept is (0,2). ;)
