You are carpeting a room in a house for your job. You have a boss that likes to play jokes, so instead of just giving you the di

mensions of the room, he tells you the dimensions in rational expressions. The length of the room is fraction numerator x squared minus x minus 6 over denominator x minus 5 end fractionand the width of the room is fraction numerator x squared minus 6 x plus 5 over denominator x plus 2 end fraction. What is the area of the room in terms of x? How much carpet do you need if x = 10?

Answer:

x^2-4x+3

63\ \text{sq. units}

Step-by-step explanation:

l = Length = \dfrac{x^2-x-6}{x-5}

w = Width = \dfrac{x^2-6x+5}{x+2}

Area is given by

A=lw\\\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{x^2-x-6}{x-5}\times\dfrac{x^2-6x+5}{x+2}\\\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{x^2-3x+2x-6}{x-5}\times\dfrac{x^2-5x-1x+5}{x+2}\\\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{(x-3)(x+2)}{x-5}\times\dfrac{(x-5)(x-1)}{x+2}\\\Rightarrow A=(x-3)(x-1)\\\Rightarrow A=x^2-4x+3

Area of the room is x^2-4x+3.

If x=10

Area of the room

A=x^2-4x+3=10^2-4\times 10+3\\\Rightarrow A=63\ \text{sq. units}

So, the amount of carpet needed would be 63\ \text{sq. units}.

Which ordered pair is the solution to the system?
ira [324]
For this one you want to cancel out the x-terms.
Multiply top equation by -2

---> -2x -10y = 6
---> 2x +7y = 3

Add them together

---> -3y = 9

Solve for y ...

A soccer player is going to kick a ball from one corner of a field to the opposite corner.If the field is 64 meters long and 48
Amiraneli [1.4K]
The path of the ball is the diagonal of the rectangle.
You can use the Pythagorean theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

64^2 + 48^2 = c^2

4096 + 2304 = c^3

6400 = c^2

c = 80

Answer: 80 meters

6 Paul runs 1.5 km on the bearing 127°. a Draw a diagram of the situation. b How far east is Paul from his starting point? ( How
GenaCL600 [577]

By running in a bearing of 127°, Paul motion is in the south eastern direction.

Correct responses:

a. Please find attached the required diagram created with MS Visio

b. Paul's distance travelled east is approximately 11.98 km

  • Paul's distance travelled south is approximately 0.903 km

<h3>Method used for diagram and for the distance calculation</h3>

Given:

The distance Paul runs = 1.5 km

The bearing Paul is running = 127°

a. The bearing of path Paul runs, 127°, is the angle measured in the clockwise direction relative to the northern direction

Please find attached the diagram representing the situation, created with MS Visio.

b. Paul's distance travelled east relative to the starting point is given by the component of Paul's path in the x-axis direction which is found as follows;

  • Paul's distance east =  15 km × cos(37°) ≈ <u>11.98 km</u>

Pau's distance travelled in the south direction relative to the starting point

is given by the vertical distance travelled relative to the x-axis, which is

given as follows;

Distance Paul travels south = 1.5 km × sin(37°) ≈ <u>0.903 km</u>
