Answer:

Both of them are right

The amount of carpet needed is 189 7/8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the person with the right calculations step between Michael and Tracy

From what we can see in the question, both exactly have the same calculations

They only differ in the number to put first

So we can say both are right

The amount of carpet needed will be;

12 1/4 * 15 1/2

= 49/4 * 31/2 = 1519/8

= 189 7/8 square feet

iragen [17]
To find the cost of the truck, you will need to add all the expenses that incurred in addition to the actual cost of the truck.

35000 + 2000 + 1200 + 120 + 220 = 38540

The cost including expenses should be recorded as $38540.

What are the steps to a graph a quadratic function
Illusion [34]

You need 3 points to graph a quadratic function.

It is advisable that one of these points be the vertex, because the line of symmetry passes through it

Next, you need to find two other points that lie on the curve, replacing an x-value into the function and calculating the y-value. It is easier if these two points are at the same distance from the line of symmetry.

For example, if the quadratic function is y = (x - 4)² + 3, the vertex is located at (4, 3). Replacing with x = 3 into the equation, we get:

y = (3 - 4)² + 3

y = 1 + 3

y = 4

Replacing with x = 5 into the equation, we get:

y = (5 - 4)² + 3

y = 1 + 3

y = 4

Now, we need to connect the points (3, 4), (4, 3), and (5, 4) with a U shape, as follows:

Could someone help here, thankyou!
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

x = 6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given ratio of sides of similar figures = a : b , then

ratio of areas = a² : b²

Here ratio of areas = 5 : 45 = 1 : 9 , so

ratio of sides = \sqrt{1} : \sqrt{9} = 1 : 3

Thus side of B is 3 times side of A

x = 3 × 2 = 6 cm

The formula to convert temperature in Celsius to Fahrenheit is F= 9/5C+32. Solve for C<br> C= ?
icang [17]
F = 9/5C + 32

Subtract 32 to both sides:

F - 32 = 9/5C

Divide 9/5 to both sides or multiply by its reciprocal, 5/9:

5/9(F - 32) = C

Simplify:

C = 5/9F - 160/9
