Answer:

Sue has 8 marbles

Molly has 8 marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

m = number of marbles Molly has

s = number of marbles that sue has

m+s =32

m = 3s

Substitute the second equation into the first equation

3s+s =32

4s = 32

Divide by 4

4s/4 =32/4

s = 8

Sue has 8 marbles

m = 32 = 3*8 = 24

Molly has 8 marbles

What is the area of a garden that measures 4mx4mx6mx4mx10mx8m

topjm [15]

The area of the garden is 120 square metre

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The picture of the garden is shown below. In this problem, we have:

One square
Two rectangles

Recall that the area of a square is given by:

$A_{s}=L^2 \\ \\ A_{s}:Area \ of \ a \ square \\ L:Side \ of \ the \ square$

On the other hand, the area of a rectangle is given by:

$A_{r}=L_{1}\times L_{2} \\ \\ \\ A_{r}:Area \ of \ a \ rectangle \\ \\ L_{1}:Side \ 1 \ of \ the \ rectangle \\ \\ L_{2}:Side \ 2 \ of \ the \ rectangle$

Therefore:

FOR THE SQUARE:

$L=4m \\ \\ \\ Substituting \ values: \\ \\ \\ A_{s}=4^2 \\ \\ \boxed{A_{s}=16m^2}$

FOR THE RECTANGLE 1:

$L_{1}=6m \\ L_{2}=4m \\ \\ \\ Substituting \ values: \\ \\ \\ A_{r_{1}}=6(4) \\ \\ \boxed{A_{r_{1}}=24m^2}$

FOR THE RECTANGLE 2:

$L_{1}=10m \\ L_{2}=8m \\ \\ \\ Substituting \ values: \\ \\ \\ A_{r_{2}}=10(8) \\ \\ \boxed{A_{r_{2}}=80m^2}$

Finally, the area of a garden is the sum of the three areas:

$A_{total}=A_{s}+A_{r_{1}}+A_{r_{2}} \\ \\ A_{total}=16m^2+24m^2+80m^2 \\ \\ A_{total}=16+24+80 \\ \\ \boxed{A_{total}=120m^2}$

Classify the limaçon represented by the equation r=(1/2)-(1/2)sin(theta)

babunello [35]

We know that

Limacons are in the form
r=a(+-)b*sin (theta) or r=a(+-)b*cos (theta)

in this problem
r=a(+-)b*sin (theta)
so
is symmetric to y axis
a=1/2
b=1/2
a/b=1---------> Cardioid (hearth shaped)

see the attached figure

the answer is the option
<span>A. Cardioid </span>

Please help with problem !!!

True [87]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 2x^2 - 12x +19 Put brackets around the 1st 2 terms. Take 2

y = 2(x^2 - 6x ) + 19 Take 1/2 of the 6 square it and add inside the brackets

y = 2(x^2 - 6 + (6/2)^2) +19 Subtract 2 *9 from the 19. Express 1st 3 terms as ( )^2

y = 2(x- 3)^2 + 19 - 18

y = 2(x - 3)^2 + 1

Answers

y intercept when x = 0 is y = 19

axis of symmetry x = 3

vertex: (3,1)

Graph

graph: red

axis of symmetry: blue
