Since they are similar, you need to find the ratio of similarity (I made up the term, there is probably a correct one that I can’t remember).

If you divide 16/40, you’ll find that that ratio is 2.5. So then you just multiply 16 x 2.5. You’ll get 18.

18 is the length of the top of the trapezoid.

You set 18=2x+4 and solve it algebraically. Subtract 4 from both sides.

14=2x
Divide by 2 and x=7

(You can also check that the ratio is right by 16/18 is the same decimal value as 40/45. You’ll get .88888...)

What is a domain mathamatics
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

In mathematics, the domain or set of departure of a function is the set into which all of the input of the function is constrained to fall. It is the set X in the notation f: X → Y, and is alternatively denoted as. . Since a function is defined on its entire domain, its domain coincides with its domain of definition.

A "child has six blocks, three of which are red and three of which are green". How many patterns can shemake by placing them all
makvit [3.9K]

Answer: There are 20 ways and 1680 ways respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Total number of blocks = 6

Number of red blocks = 3

Number of green blocks = 3

So, Number of patterns she can make by placing them all in a line is given by

\dfrac{6!}{3!\times 3!}\\\\=20

If there are 3 white blocks

so, total number of white blocks becomes 9

So, Number of total pattern she can make by placing all nine blocks in a line is given by

\dfrac{9!}{3!\times 3!\times 3!}\\\\=1680\ ways

Hence, there are 20 ways and 1680 ways respectively.

Pre-Calc: Find all the zeros of the function.
uysha [10]

The zeros of the polynomial function are y = 4/5, y = -4/5 and y = ±4/5√i and the polynomial as a product of the linear factors is f(y) = (5y - 4)(5y + 4)(25y^2 + 16)

<h3>What are polynomial expressions?</h3>

Polynomial expressions are mathematical statements that are represented by variables, coefficients and operators

<h3>How to determine the zeros of the polynomial?</h3>

The polynomial equation is given as

f(y) = 625y^4 - 256

Express the terms as an exponent of 4

So, we have

f(y) = (5y)^4 - 4^4

Express the terms as an exponent of 2

So, we have

f(y) = (25y^2)^2 - 16^2

Apply the difference of two squares

So, we have

f(y) = (25y^2 - 16)(25y^2 + 16)

Apply the difference of two squares

So, we have

f(y) = (5y - 4)(5y + 4)(25y^2 + 16)

Set the equation to 0

So, we have

(5y - 4)(5y + 4)(25y^2 + 16) = 0

Expand the equation

So, we have

5y - 4 = 0, 5y + 4 = 0 and 25y^2 + 16 = 0

This gives

5y = 4, 5y = -4 and 25y^2 = -16

Solve the factors of the equation

So, we have

y = 4/5, y = -4/5 and y = ±4/5√i

Hence, the zeros of the polynomial function are y = 4/5, y = -4/5 and y = ±4/5√i

How to write the polynomial as a product of the linear factors?

In (a), we have

The polynomial equation is given as

f(y) = 625y^4 - 256

Express the terms as an exponent of 4

So, we have

f(y) = (5y)^4 - 4^4

Express the terms as an exponent of 2

So, we have

f(y) = (25y^2)^2 - 16^2

Apply the difference of two squares

So, we have

f(y) = (25y^2 - 16)(25y^2 + 16)

Apply the difference of two squares

So, we have

f(y) = (5y - 4)(5y + 4)(25y^2 + 16)

Hence, the polynomial as a product of the linear factors is f(y) = (5y - 4)(5y + 4)(25y^2 + 16)

What is the order of the steps to solve for x in the equation 3x-6x-7=29
dexar [7]
First, you should combine the x terms:

-3x - 7 = 29

Then, get rid of the negative 7, by adding 7 to both sides.

-3x = 22

Finally divide 22 by -3, to solve for x.

x = -22/3 or -7.33
