I assume you mean the product of mixed numbers,
3 1/2 × 3 1/2
If we write this as
(3 + 1/2) × (3 + 1/2) = (3 + 1/2)²
we can use the identity
(a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b²
so that
3 1/2 × 3 1/2 = 3² + (2 × 3 × 1/2) + (1/2)²
3 1/2 × 3 1/2 = 9 + 3 + 1/4
3 1/2 × 3 1/2 = 12 1/4
Alternatively, we can first write 3 1/2 as a mixed number:
3 + 1/2 = 6/2 + 1/2 = (6 + 1)/2 = 7/2
Then
3 1/2 × 3 1/2 = 7/2 × 7/2 = (7 × 7) / (2 × 2) = 49/4
and
49/4 = (48 + 1)/4 = ((4 × 12) + 1)/4 = 12 + 1/4
Given : A = 24 sq feet
A = 0.5 base x height
base = x , height = x+2
A = 0.5 x(x+2) = 24 sq feet
1) 0.5 x(x+2) = 24 (A)
2) x^2 + 2x - 48 = 0 (D)
To check the rest un-wrap the bracket:
x^2 + (x+2)^2 = 24
x^2 + x^2 + 4 + 4x = 24
2x^2 + 4x - 20 = 0
x^2 + 2x - 10= 0 (NO)
Likewise:
x^2 + (x+2)^2 = 100
x^2 + x^2 +4 + 4x = 100
2x^2 + 4x + 4 = 100
2x^2 + 4x - 96 = 0
3) x^2 + 2x - 48 = 0 (F)
To sum up: that's what apply:
1) 0.5 x(x+2) = 24 (A)
2) x^2 + 2x - 48 = 0 (D)
3) x^2 + 2x - 48 = 0 (F)
The answer would be -4 because when you add a positive and a negative it’s like subtracting.
Answer:
f(x) = 3x⁴ -
- 17x + 
Step-by-step explanation:
To find f'(x), we will follow the steps below:
We will start by integrating both-side of the equation
∫f'(x) = ∫(12x^3 - 2x^2 - 17)dx
f(x) = 3x⁴ -
- 17x + C
Then we go ahead and find C
f(1) = 8
so we will replace x by 1 in the above equation and solve for c
f(1) = 3(1)⁴ -
- 17(1) + C
8 = 3 -
- 17 + C
C =8 - 3 + 17 + 
C = 22 + 
C =
C = 
f(x) = 3x⁴ -
- 17x +
