Answer:

B. y² – 5y = 750

C. 750 – y(y – 5) = 0

E. (y + 25)(y – 30) = 0

I'm assuming the 2 in the second option is supposed to be an exponent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Length = y

Width = y-5

Length × Width = Area

Area = y(y-5) = 750

Distribute.

y²-5y=750 (B is correct)

If you factor the equation above

(y + 25)(y – 30) = 0 (E is correct)

Area = y(y-5) = 750

Subtract y(y-5) from both sides.

750-y(y-5) = 0 (C is correct)

Solve for the variable. 3/4x = -24

sleet_krkn [62]

Hello!

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{x = -32}$

3/4x = -24

To isolate the "x" variable, divide both sides by 3/4 (multiply by its reciprocal, or 4/3)

3/4x · 4/3 = -24 · 4/3

x = (-24 · 4) / 3

x = -32.

Which of the following polynomials is the expansion of (x - y)4? x4 - x3y + x2y2 - 2xy3 + y4 x4 -2x3y3 + y4 x4 - 2x3y + x 2y 2 -

sammy [17]

Answer:

$(x-y)^4=x^4-x^3y+6x^2y^2-4xy^3+y^4$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the polynomial that will result from expanding:

$(x-y)^4$ .

Recall that we can use the Pascal's triangle to obtain the coefficient as:

1 4 6 4 1

Also note how the negative sign is going to alternate.

The power of x will decrease from left to right while the power of y increases from left to right

The expansion then becomes:

$(x-y)^4=x^4-x^3y+6x^2y^2-4xy^3+y^4$ .

Find the 14th term in the sequence 1, 1/3, 1/9, … Find the sum of the first 10 terms of the sequence above.

pychu [463]

Answer:

This is a geometric progresion that begins with 1 and each term is 1/3 the preceeding term

Let Pn represent the nth term in the sequence

Then Pn = (1/3)^n-1

From this P14 = (1/3)^13 = 1/1594323

5. The sum of the first n terms of a GP beginning a with ratio r is given by

Sn = a* (r^n+1 - 1)/(r - 1)

With n = 10, a = 1 and r = 1/3, S10 = ((1/3)^11 - 1)/(1/3 - 1) = 1.500
