A is the correct answer
Or
Vertex = (-5,-4), y-intercept = (0,21), x-intercepts = (-7,0) and (-3,0), axis of
symmetry is x = -5
Answer: some don’t have constant width that allows the top and bottom to be the same distance away from each other (which is what helps shapes to roll)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
a) The probability is 1/5
bi) The probability each ball is even will be 2/5
bii) The probability the sum of the numbers on the ball is not more than 10 is 16/25
(that's what I think it is)
Let s represent the length of any one side of the original square. The longer side of the resulting rectangle is s + 9 and the shorter side s - 2.
The area of this rectangle is (s+9)(s-2) = 60 in^2.
This is a quadratic equation and can be solved using various methods. Let's rewrite this equation in standard form: s^2 + 7s - 18 = 60, or:
s^2 + 7s - 78 = 0. This factors as follows: (s+13)(s-6)=0, so that s = -13 and s= 6. Discard s = -13, since the side length cannot be negative. Then s = 6, and the area of the original square was 36 in^2.
