Distributive property

12x+120=24

Answer:

x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

distribute first: 12(x+10)=24 turns into 12x+120=24

subtract 120 from both sides and you're left with 12x = -96

divide each side by 12 and you get x = -8

Find the area of the largest rectangle (with sides parallel to the coordinate axes) that can be inscribed in the region enclosed
garik1379 [7]
F(x) = 18-x^2 is a parabola having vertex at (0, 18) and opening downwards. 
g(x) = 2x^2-9 is a parabola having vertex at (0, -9) and opening upwards. 
By symmetry, let the x-coordinates of the vertices of rectangle be x and -x => its width is 2x. 
Height of the rectangle is y1 + y2, where y1 is the y-coordinate of the vertex on the parabola f and y2 is that of g.
 => Area, A 
= 2x (y1 - y2) 
= 2x (18 - x^2 - 2x^2 + 9) 
= 2x (27 - 3x^2) 
= 54x - 6x^3 
For area to be maximum, dA/dx = 0 and d²A/dx² < 0 
=> 54 - 18x^2 = 0 
=> x = √3 (note: x = - √3 gives the x-coordinate of vertex in second and third quadrants) 

d²A/dx² = - 36x < 0 for x = √3 
=> maximum area 
= 54(√3) - 6(√3)^3 
= 54√3 - 18√3 
= 36√3.

Jake drove 300 miles from his house to a soccer tournament. This graph shows the distance Jake had traveled (m) and the time tha
Bad White [126]

Part A. The trip starts at 8am which corresponds to 0 hrs, point (0hr, 0mi)

2hrs later it's 10am. .point (2hr, 140mi)

The average speed is the slope between 0 and 2 hrs. Remember the slope formula m = Δy/Δx  

m = (140 - 0) / (2 - 0)  

m = 70 mph

Part B. Average speed from 11am - 2pm  

11am is point (3hr, 140mi)  

2pm is point (6hr, 300mi)  

As you can see from the graph, the speed or slope changes at 1pm (5,260). You Can just use the start and end points.

m  = (300-140) / (6-3)  

m = 160/3

53.3 mph

* It comes out the same solution as if you average the two different slopes. 2hrs at 60mph + 1 hr at 40mph = (120 + 40)/3 = 160/3  

Part C.  Total average speed = total distance / total time driving

He went 70 mph for 2 hrs

stopped for an hour (slope is zero, no speed)

60 mph for 2hrs

40mph for 1 hr

300mi /5hr = 60mph

Part D. No Question....

A square poster has a side length of 26 in. Drawn on the poster are four identical triangles. Each triangle has a base of 8 in.
Firdavs [7]
To find the probability of landing on a triangle, you will want find the combined areas of the triangles and the total area of the square target.

Divide the area of the combined areas and the total area to find the probability of landing on a triangle.

A = 1/2bh
      1/2 x 8 x 8
A = 32 square inches
32 x 4
128 square inches (areas of triangles)

A = bh
     26 x 26
A = 676 square inches

128/676 = 0.189

There is an approximate probability of 0.19 of hitting a triangle.
