Answer:

1a.2.5x³-2.25x²+3.5x-1.5

1b.No, they aren't equal. (worked out the product for both and they weren't equal, see below)

2a.-2x⁶+7x⁴+3x³-3x²+11x+20

2b.Yes. When multiplying, it doesn't matter which term/expression you put first

3. The equation has two solutions: x=-2, x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. (a)

(0.5x-0.25)(5x²-2x+6)

0.5x(5x²-2x+6)-0.25(5x²-2x+6)

2.5x³-x²+3x -1.25x²+0.5x-1.5

2.5x³-2.25x²+3.5x-1.5

(b)

(0.25x-0.5)(5x²-2x+6)

0.25x(5x²-2x+6)-0.5(5x²-2x+6)

1.25x³-0.5x²+1.5x -2.5x²+x-3

1.25x³-3x²+2.5x-3

This is not equal to our answer for 1(a), so we can see they're not the same.

2(a)

(-2x³+x-5)(x³-3x-4)

-2x³(x³-3x-4) +x(x³-3x-4) -5(x³-3x-4)

-2x⁶+6x⁴+8x³ +x⁴-3x²-4x -5x³+15x+20

-2x⁶+7x⁴+3x³-3x²+11x+20

(b)

Yes. When multiplying, it doesn't matter which term/expression you put first: xy=yx. For example, 2(3)=6 and 3(2)=6.

2x²-2x-12=0

(divide each term by 2)

x²-x-6=0

(x+2)(x-3)=0

Anything multiplies by zero is zero, so either x+2=0 or x-3=0

If x+2=0, x=-2. If x-3=0, x=3.

The equation has two solutions: x=-2, x=3

Can someone help me with this

Answer:

FG=30

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know that Point G is on the Segment FH, it doesn't really matter where G is, but we can know for certain that:

$FH=FG+GH$

We are given that FH is 4x, GH is x, and FG is 2x+10. Substitute:

$4x=(2x+10)+x$

Solve for x. On the right, combine like terms:

$4x=3x+10$

Subtract 3x from both sides:

$x=10$

So, the value of x is 10.

To find the value of FG, substitute 10 into its x:

$FG=2x+10\\FG=2(10)+10$

Multiply:

$FG=20+10$

Add:

$FG=30$

And we're done!

andre [41]

Answer:

$x = \frac{1}{4}\left(-(l + w) + \sqrt{l^2 + 6lw + w^2} \right)$

where

l = length of the pool (w/o the patio)
w = width of the pool (w/o the patio)

Explanation:

Let

x = width of the patio
l = length of the pool (w/o the patio)
w = width of the pool (w/o the patio)

Since the pool is bordered by a complete patio,

Length of the pool (with the patio)
= (length of the pool (w/o the patio)) + 2*(width of the patio)
Length of the pool (with the patio) = l + 2x

Width of the pool (with the patio)
= (width of the pool (w/o the patio)) + 2*(width of the patio)
Width of the pool (with the patio) = w + 2x

Note that

Area of the pool (w/o the patio)
= (length of the pool (w/o the patio))(width of the pool (w/o the patio))
Area of the pool (w/o the patio) = lw

Area of the pool (with the patio)
= (length of the pool (w/o the patio))(width of the pool (w/o the patio))
= (l + 2x)(w + 2x)
= w(l + 2x) + 2x(l + 2x)
= lw + 2xw + 2xl + 4x²
Area of the pool (with the patio) = 4x² + 2x(l + w) + lw

Area of the patio
= (Area of the pool (with the patio)) - (Area of the pool (w/o the patio))
= (4x² + 2x(l + w) + lw) - lw
Area of the patio = 4x² + 2x(l + w)

Since the area of the patio is equal to the area of the surface of the pool, the area of the patio is equal to the area of the pool without the patio. In terms of the equation,

Area of the patio = Area of the pool (w/o the patio)
4x² + 2x(l + w) = lw
4x² + 2x(l + w) - lw = 0 (1)

Let

a = numerical coefficient of x² = 4
b = numerical coefficient of x = 2(l + w)
c = constant term = -lw

Then using quadratic formula, the roots of the equation 4x² + 2x(l + w) - lw = 0 is given by

$x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}
\\ = \frac{-2(l + w) \pm \sqrt{(2(l + w))^2 - 4(4)(-lw)}}{2(4)} 
\\ = \frac{-2(l + w) \pm \sqrt{(4(l + w)^2) + 16lw}}{8} 
\\ = \frac{-2(l + w) \pm \sqrt{(4(l^2 + 2lw + w^2) + 4(4lw)}}{8}
\\ = \frac{-2(l + w) \pm \sqrt{(4(l^2 + 2lw + w^2 + 4lw)}}{8}
\\ = \frac{-2(l + w) \pm \sqrt{(4(l^2 + 6lw + w^2)}}{8}$
$= \frac{-2(l + w) \pm 2\sqrt{l^2 + 6lw + w^2}}{8} \\= \frac{2}{8}(-(l + w) \pm \sqrt{l^2 + 6lw + w^2}) \\x = \frac{1}{4}(-(l + w) \pm \sqrt{l^2 + 6lw + w^2}) \\\boxed{x = \frac{1}{4}\left(-(l + w) + \sqrt{l^2 + 6lw + w^2} \right) \text{ or }}
\\\boxed{x = -\frac{1}{4}\left((l + w) + \sqrt{l^2 + 6lw + w^2} \right)}$

Since $(l + w) + \sqrt{l^2 + 6lw + w^2} \ \textgreater \ 0$ , $-\frac{1}{4}\left((l + w) + \sqrt{l^2 + 6lw + w^2}\right)$ is negative. Since x represents the patio width, x cannot be negative. Hence, the patio width is given by

$\boxed{x = \frac{1}{4}\left(-(l + w) + \sqrt{l^2 + 6lw + w^2} \right)}$
