Answer:
Her opportunity cost of reading 10 pages of sociology is 15 pages of Economics
Her opportunity cost of reading 18 pages of economics is 12 pages of sociology.
Step-by-step explanation:
For economics, Latasha reads 1 page in 2 mins (gotten by dividing the number of pages by the time taken to read it i.e 30 pages in 1 hr or 60 mins)
Her sociology is read 1 page in 3 mins (20 pages read in 60 mins)
To read 10 pages of sociology will take 30 mins. She will read 15 pages of Economics in the same time which is the opportunity cost.
In the same vein, It will take her 36 mins to read 18 pages of Economics at the same rate. This is the opportunity cost of reading 12 pages of Sociology (which she reads at 1 page in 3 mins).

Part A) " (3x + 4) " units .
_____________________________________________________
Part B) "The dimensions of the rectangle are:
" (4x + 5y) " units ; <u>AND</u>: " (4x − 5y)" units."
_____________________________________________________
Explanation for Part A):
_____________________________________________________
Since each side length of a square is the same;
Area = Length * width = L * w ; L = w = s = s ;
in which: " s = side length" ;
So, the Area of a square, "A" = L * w = s * s = s² ;
{<u>Note</u>: A "square" is a rectangle with 4 (four) equal sides.}.
→ Each side length, "s", of a square is equal.
Given: s² = "(9x² + 24x + 16)" square units ;
Find "s" by factoring: "(9x² + 24x + 16)" completely:
→ " 9x² + 24x + 16 ";
Factor by "breaking into groups" :
"(9x² + 24x + 16)" =
→ "(9x² + 12x) (12x + 16)" ;
_______________________________________________________
Given: " (9x² + 24x + 16) " ;
_______________________________________________________
Let us start with the term:
_______________________________________________________
" (9x² + 12x) " ;
→ Factor out a "3x" ; → as follows:
_______________________________________
→ " 3x (3x + 4) " ;
Then, take the term:
_______________________________________
→ " (12x + 16) " ;
And factor out a "4" ; → as follows:
_______________________________________
→ " 4 (3x + 4) "
_______________________________________
We have:
" 9x² + 24x + 16 " ;
= " 3x (3x + 4) + 4(3x + 4) " ;
_______________________________________
Now, notice the term: "(3x + 4)" ;
We can "factor out" this term:
3x (3x + 4) + 4(3x + 4) =
→ " (3x + 4) (3x + 4) " . → which is the fully factored form of:
" 9x² + 24x + 16 " ;
____________________________________________________
→ Or; write: " (3x + 4) (3x + 4)" ; as: " (3x + 4)² " .
____________________________________________________
→ So, "s² = 9x² + 24x + 16 " ;
Rewrite as: " s² = (3x + 4)² " .
→ Solve for the "positive value of "s" ;
→ {since the "side length of a square" cannot be a "negative" value.}.
____________________________________________________
→ Take the "positive square root of EACH SIDE of the equation;
to isolate "s" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "s" ;
→ ⁺√(s²) = ⁺√[(3x + 4)²] '
To get:
→ s = " (3x + 4)" units .

Part A): The answer is: "(3x + 4)" units.

Explanation for Part B):
_________________________________________________________<span>
The area, "A" of a rectangle is:
A = L * w ;
in which "A" is the "area" of the rectangle;
"L" is the "length" of the rectangle;
"w" is the "width" of the rectangle;
_______________________________________________________
Given: " A = </span>(16x² − 25y²) square units" ;
→ We are asked to find the dimensions, "L" & "w" ;
→ by factoring the given "area" expression completely:
____________________________________________________
→ Factor: " (16x² − 25y²) square units " completely '
Note that: "16" and: "25" are both "perfect squares" ;
We can rewrite: " (16x² − 25y²) " ; as:
= " (4²x²) − (5²y²) " ; and further rewrite the expression:
________________________________________________________
Note:
________________________________________________________
" (16x²) " ; can be written as: "(4x)² " ;
↔ " (4x)² = "(4²)(x²)" = 16x² "
Note: The following property of exponents:
→ (xy)ⁿ = xⁿ yⁿ ; → As such: " 16x² = (4²x²) = (4x)² " .
_______________________________________________________
Note:
_______________________________________________________
→ " (25x²) " ; can be written as: " (5x)² " ;
↔ "( 5x)² = "(5²)(x²)" = 25x² " ;
Note: The following property of exponents:
→ (xy)ⁿ = xⁿ yⁿ ; → As such: " 25x² = (5²x²) = (5x)² " .
______________________________________________________
→ So, we can rewrite: " (16x² − 25y²) " ;
as: " (4x)² − (5y)² " ;
→ {Note: We substitute: "(4x)² " for "(16x²)" ; & "(5y)² " for "(25y²)" .} . ;
_______________________________________________________
→ We have: " (4x)² − (5y)² " ;
→ Note that we are asked to "factor completely" ;
→ Note that: " x² − y² = (x + y) (x − y) " ;
→ {This property is known as the "<u>difference of squares</u>".}.
→ As such: " (4x)² − (5y)² " = " (4x + 5y) (4x − 5y) " .
_______________________________________________________
Part B): The answer is: "The dimensions of the rectangle are:
" (4x + 5y) " units ; AND: " (4x − 5y)" units."

Catherine could take the original price of $144.97 and multiply it by .09 (9%). This would equal a sales tax of $13.073 which could be rounded to $13.01. Then add the original price of $144.97 to the tax of $13.01 to get a total of $157.98.
