3. Tim and Juan are both animal lovers. Tim owns 2 cats, 3 dogs, 1 Guinea pig and 3 hamsters and represents this mathematically
as 2c + 3d + 15 + 3h. Juan has 1 cat, 6 dogs, 5, Guinea pigs and no hamsters. A. Write a mathematical representation of Juan's pets. B. If Tim and Juan decide to move in together, write a mathematical representation of how many pets they would have combined.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you have to substitute both functions into the equation to get:
Then, you distribute the negative sign in front of g(x) to get:
And finally, you add/subtract the x's that have the same power to get:
You may notice that all of the terms have a common factor: . So, let's take the
out of all the terms. This gives us:
Using the Zero Product Property, we can say that both and
.
Let's solve both. is obvious, but we still need to solve our other term:
- Set up
- Factor
- Apply the Zero Product Property
Our answer is x = -6, 0, 4.
Answer:
Heavenly, we need the forumula for the area of a triangle, do you know it?
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a triangle is (1/2 ) * B*H
where B = base
H = height
then
A = 1/2* B * H
A is given to be 20
B = b
H = b+4
plug all those into the formula,
20 = (1/2)*b*(b+4)
use your algebra skillz :P
20 = 1/2 *( + 4b)
20*2 = + 4b
40 = + 4b
0 = + 4b-40
rewrite the above so it's in x format
+ 4x -40 = 0
use the quadratic formula to find x , and for our problem, remember that x represents the base, or b, but don't mix it up with the b in the quadatic fomula, with the b of the triangle, which is the base, they are differnt "b"s :P
X = (b± ) / 2*a
a = 1
b = 4
c = -40
x = (4± ) /2*1
x = ( 4± ) / 2
x = (4± ) / 2
x = (4±13.266499)/2
x= 2±6.633249
x = 2 + 6.633249 = 8.633
b= 8.633 cm
