Which has a greater area, a square with sides that are x - 1 units long or a rectangle with a length of x units and a width of x - 2 units?

Answers

Answer 1
Area of square = a^2...where a is the length of 1 side
A = (x - 1)^2
A = (x - 1)(x - 1)
A = x^2 - 2x + 1

Area of rectangle = L * W
A = x(x - 2) = x^2 - 2x

The greater area would be the square <==

Help!!!!! how do i slove this equation

Answers

Because the number inside the parenthesis is less than 1, the population is decreasing every year. The initial population is the 12500.  In terms of percentage, .98 is 98%, and the difference between 98% and 100% is 2%, so the population is decreasing by 2% every year. The population after 10 years requires you to replace the t in the equation with a 10.  Doing that gives you a population of 10213.4

The function h(x) = x2 + 14x + 41 represents a parabola. Part A: Rewrite the function in vertex form by completing the square. Show your work. (6 points) Part B: Determine the vertex and indicate whether it is a maximum or a minimum on the graph. How do you know? (2 points) Part C: Determine the axis of symmetry for h(x). (2 points)

Answers

Part A:



The first thing of completing the square is writing the expression   as   which expands to  .

We have the first two terms exactly alike with the function we start with:  and   but we need to add/subtract from the last term, 49, to obtain 41. 

So, the second step is to subtract -8 from the expression 

The function in finalizing the square form is


Part B:

The vertex is acquired by equating the expression in the bracket from part A to zero




It means the curve has a turning point at x = -7

This vertex is a minimum since the function will make a U-shape. 
A quadratic function   can either make U-shape or ∩-shape depends on the value of the constant   that goes with  . When   is (+), the curve is U-shape. When   (-), the curve is ∩-shape

Part C:

The symmetry line of the curve will go through the vertex, hence the symmetry line is 

This function is shown in the diagram below

Answer:

Part A: The vertex form is h(x) = (x+7)^2  - 8 .

Part B: The vertex is a minimum. The vertex is (-7,-8).  

Part C: The axis of symmetry is x=-7. (axis of symmetry is the x value of the vertex)

What is an Equation?

Equations are mathematical statements with two algebraic expressions flanking the equals (=) sign on either side.

It demonstrates the equality of the relationship between the expressions printed on the left and right sides.

Coefficients, variables, operators, constants, terms, expressions, and the equal to sign are some of the components of an equation. The "=" sign and terms on both sides must always be present when writing an equation.

Given data ,

Let the equation be represented as A

Now , the value of A is

A = ( 2x - 1 ) / ( x + 5 )

when x = 0

Substituting the values in the equation , we get

A = ( 2 ( 0 ) -1 ) / ( 0 + 5 )

On simplifying , we get

A = -1/5

Hence , the equation is solved and A = -1/5 when x = 0

Molly hikes 1/6 mile every day.
To hike a total of 11/6 miles, she would have to hike for____ days. To hike a total of 1/3 of a mile, she would have to hike for____ days.

Answers

she hikes 1/6 a day, to get 11/6 , she would have to hike 11 days


to hike 1/3 of a mile

1/3 / 1/6 = 1/3 * 6/1 = 6/3 = 2

 so she would have to hike 2 days

Answer:

11 days and 2 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Molly hikes every day = [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex] miles

She would take days to hike total [tex]\frac{11}{6}[/tex] miles = [tex]\frac{\frac{11}{6} }{\frac{1}{6} }[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{11}{6}[/tex] ×  [tex]\frac{6}{1}[/tex] = 11 days.

To hike a total  [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] of a mile she would have to hike = [tex]\frac{\frac{1}{3} }{\frac{1}{6} }[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] ×  [tex]\frac{6}{1}[/tex] = 2 days

To hike a total of  [tex]\frac{11}{6}[/tex], she would have to hike for 11 days. To hike a total of  [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] of a mile, she would have to hike for 2 days

All computers are on sale for 10% off the original price. If x is the original price of the computer, then the function that represents the price after only a 10% discount is: P(x) = x - 0.1x P(x) = 0.9x The function that gives the price, C, if only a $150 coupon is used is: C(x) = x - 150 Choose the composition function that gives the final sale price after a 10% discount is followed by a $150 coupon

Answers

We are given the functions:

P (x) = 0.9 x

C (x) = x – 150

We can generate two composition functions from the given two functions in the form of:

P [C (x)]                and C [P (x)]

Since the problem states that we are to find for the final price after a 10% discount is followed by a $150 coupon then we should find for:

C [P (x)]

The value of C [P (x)] can obtained by plugging in the value of P (x) into x in the equation of C (x), therefore:

C [P (x)] = [0.9 x] – 150

C [P (x)] = 0.9 x – 150                      (ANSWER)

Urn A has balls numbered 1 through 6. Urn B has balls numbered 1 through 4. What is the probability that a 4 is drawn from A followed by a 2 from B?

Answers

Drawing the tree diagram of the problem, we see that there are 6 branches for drawing from Urn A, and then 4 branches for each of the 6 branches, for drawing from Urn B.

This means that there are 6*4=24 possible outcomes, which could be listed as
{(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (2, 1)... (6, 3), (6, 4)},

where the first coordinates represent drawing from urn A, and the second coordinates, drawing from urn B.

(4, 2) is one of these 24, so the probability is 1/24


remark, this problem could also have been solved by the multiplication principle of the probabilities of separate events, that is 1/6 (probability of drawing 4 from Urn A) times 1/4 (probability of drawing 2 from B) = 1/24


Answer: 1/24

The probability that a 4 is drawn from A followed by a 2 from B is 1/24

Further explanation

The probability of an event is defined as the possibility of an event occurring against sample space.

Permutation ( Arrangement )

Permutation is the number of ways to arrange objects.

Combination ( Selection )

Combination is the number of ways to select objects.

[tex]\large {\boxed {^nC_r = \frac{n!}{r! (n - r)!} } }[/tex]

Let us tackle the problem.

Urn A has balls numbered 1 through 6 → Total = 6 balls

The probability of choosing a 4 ( 1 ball ) from Urn A is:

[tex]P(A) = \boxed{\frac{1}{6}}[/tex]

Urn B has balls numbered 1 through 4 → Total = 4 balls

The probability of choosing a 2 ( 1 ball ) from Urn B is:

[tex]P(B) = \boxed {\frac{1}{4}}[/tex]

The probability that a 4 is drawn from A followed by a 2 from B is

[tex]P(A \cap B) = P(A) \times P(B)[/tex]

[tex]P(A \cap B) = \frac{1}{6} \times \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

[tex]P(A \cap B) = \boxed {\frac{1}{24}}[/tex]

y = -2/3x + 2/3...slope = -2/3, y int = 2/3

different slopes, different y int's....means 1 solution...so yes, they intersect
TRUE

Answer:

the given statement is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given lines are

2x - 3y = 1 and 2x + 3y = 2

Write these equations in slope intercept form of a line y = mx +b

For the first equation

[tex]2x-3y=1\\\\3y=2x-1\\\\y=\frac{2}{3}x-\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

For the first equation

[tex]2x+3y=2\\\\3y=-2x+2\\\\y=-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

The slope and y-intercepts of first line are 2/3 and -1/3 respectively.

The slope and y-intercepts of second line are -2/3 and 2/3 respectively.

Since, the slopes and y-intercepts of these lines are different.

Hence, these lines are intersecting.

Therefore, the given statement is true.

If 400 bricks, each measuring 81" by 31", are required to build a wall 42 feet high, how long is the wall?

Answers

81 x 31 = 2 511 (area of a brick)


2511 x 400 = 1 004 400 (area of the wall)


Convert 1 004 400" to ft. [1ft. = 12"]


1 004 400 / 12 = 83 700 ft.


Now this is what we have.

-Hight 42 ft.

-Length X ft.

-Area 83 700ft.


Algebra time.


42 x X = 83 700 (to get X you would devide 83 700 by 42)


83 700 / 42 = 1 992.85ft. (X = 1 992.85ft.)


So the length of the wall would be 1992.85ft.

The height of the wall is 166.07 ft.

What is the unitary method?

The unitary method is a technique for solving a problem by first finding the value of a single unit, and then finding the necessary value by multiplying the single unit value.

Given that, 400 bricks, each measuring 81" by 31", are required to build a wall 42 feet high.

Here, Area of a one brick 81"×31"

6.75×2.58=17.44 ft²

Total area of 400 bricks = 400×17.44=6975 ft²

Total brick area divided by 42' height of wall

=6975÷42=166.07 ft

Therefore, the height of the wall is 166.07 ft.

Maximum vertex for function 1 is [tex]x=- \frac{8}{(2)(-1)} = \frac{-8}{-2} =4[/tex]
Maximum vertex for function 2 is [tex]x=- \frac{2}{(-2)(-1)}= \frac{-2}{-2}=1 [/tex]

Hence the function with the highest maximum is function 1

Answer:

The Function __1__ has the larger maximum.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given functions are

Function 1:

[tex]f(x)=-x^2+8x-15[/tex]

Function 2:

[tex]f(x)=-x^2+2x-15[/tex]

Both functions are downward parabola because the leading coefficient is negative. So, the vertex is the point of maxima.

If a function is [tex]f(x)=ax^2+bx+c[/tex], then its vertex is

[tex]Vertex=(\frac{-b}{2a}, f(\frac{-b}{2a}))[/tex]

The vertex of Function 1 is

[tex]Vertex=(\frac{-8}{2(-1)}, f(\frac{-8}{2(-1)}))[/tex]

[tex]Vertex=(4, f(4))[/tex]

The value of f(4) is

[tex]f(4)=-(4)^2+8(4)-15=1[/tex]

The vertex of Function 1 is (4,1). Therefore the maximum value of Function 1 is 1.

The vertex of Function 2 is

[tex]Vertex=(\frac{-2}{2(-1)}, f(\frac{-2}{2(-1)}))[/tex]

[tex]Vertex=(1, f(1))[/tex]

The value of f(1)is

[tex]f(1)=-(1)^2+2(1)-15=-14[/tex]

The vertex of Function 2 is (1,-14). Therefore the maximum value of Function 2 is -14.

Since 1>-14, therefore Function __1__ has the larger maximum.
