Here's what i did:
I broke down the fraction entirely.
3 / 5 = 6 / 10
divide 6 by two and divide 18 by two. This makes 3 / 10 = 9.
divide 3 by three and 9 by three, making 1 / 10 = 3.
if you need 7 / 10 of the number (30) then do 3*7.
The answer is 21.
Hmm
let's try some numbers
we have 3 scenarios
x>y
x=y
x<y
x>y
x=-1 and y=-2
x-y=-1-(-2)=-1+2=1
it's positive when x>y
x=y
x=-1, y=-1
-1-(-1)=-1+1=0
nope
x<y
x=-2 and y=-1
-2-(-1)=-2+1=-1
nope
x-y is positive when 0>x>y
Area=legnth times width or
a=lw
if w=4/5l
and a=320 then subsitute 320 for a dn 4/5l for w
320=4/5l times l
multiply both sides by 5 to clear fraction
1600=4l times l
ad like terms
1600=4l^2
subtract 1600 from both sides
0=4l^2-1600
try and factor because if you have xy=0 then x and/or y=0 so
difference of 2 perfect squares where
if you have a^2-b^2 then that equals(a-b)(a+b) so
0=(2l)^2-(40)^2=(2l-40)(2l+40)
so 2l-40=0
add 40 to both sides
2l=40
divide by 2
l=20
if
2l+40=0
subtract 40 from both sides
2l=-40
divide 2
l=-20
since meausrements of real objects cannot be negative, wediscard this number
l=20 is thhe true legnth s
subsitute
w=4/5l
w=4/5(20)
w=80/5
w=16
legnth=20
width=16
The answer is f(x)=x^2+2x-5
A quadratic formula must have at least one square (x^2) and cannot have higher exponents.
The reason 0x^2 doesn't count is because that will always equal zero no matter the value of x, which makes that term a constant.
