To factor a[tex]x^{2}[/tex]+bx+c, you have to group it as (a[tex]x^{2}[/tex]+ux)+(vx+c) so that uv=ac and u+v=b. Both addition and multiplication are commutative, so how do you determine which value is assigned to u and which to v? Or are they interchangeable?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: They are interchangeable

For example, let's expand out (x+3)*(2x+1). Use of the FOIL rule should get to you 2x^2 + 7x + 3.

Now imaging that you handed 2x^2 + 7x + 3 to a friend to be factored. They do not know the factorization yet.

They would see that a = 2, b = 7, c = 3.

The friend needs to find two numbers u,v such that they multiply to a*c = 2*3 = 6 and add to b = 7

Through trial and error (I recommend making a table of values), your friend would get

u*v = 1*6 = 6u+v = 1+6 = 7

But as you mentioned, your friend could easily swap the order of addition and multiplication to say

u*v = 6*1 = 6u+v = 6+1 = 7

----------------------

If we go with the first option, then the factor by grouping looks like this

2x^2 + 7x + 3

2x^2 + 1x + 6x + 3 ... break up 7x into 1x+6x

(2x^2+1x) + (6x+3) .... group up the terms into pairs

x(2x+1) + 3(2x+1) .... factor each grouping

(x+3)(2x+1) ..... factor out the overall GCF

---------------------

Or we could have the factor by grouping looks like this

2x^2 + 7x + 3

2x^2 + 6x + 1x + 3 ... break up 7x as 6x+1x

(2x^2+6x) + (1x+3)

2x(x+3) + 1(x+3)

(2x+1)(x+3)

(x+3)(2x+1)

We end up with the same factorization.

The figures below are made out of circles, semicircles, quarter circles, and a square. Find the area and the perimeter of each figure and give your answers as a completely simplified exact value in terms of π (no approximations).

Answers

Answer:

Area of the shaded region = 16(π - 2) in²

Perimeter of the shaded region = 4(π + [tex]2\sqrt{2}[/tex]) in

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, BDC is a quarter of the circle with radius = 8 in.

Area of the quarter of the circle = [tex]\frac{1}{4}(\pi)(r)^2[/tex]

                                                     = [tex]\frac{1}{4}(64)\pi[/tex]

                                                     = 16π in²

Area of ΔBCD = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(\text{Base})(\text{Height})[/tex]

                        = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(8)(8)[/tex]

                        = 32 in²

Since, area of the shaded part = Area of quarter of the circle - Area of triangle BCD

= (16π - 32)

= 16(π - 2) in²

Therefore, area of the shade region = 16(π - 2) in²

Similarly, length of arc BD = [tex]\frac{1}{4}(2\pi r)[/tex]

                                            = [tex]\frac{8\pi }{2}[/tex]

                                            = 4π in.

Length of the diagonal of a square = (Side)√2

                                                          = 8√2 in

Perimeter of the shaded region = Length of arc BD + Length of diagonal BD

= 4π + 8√2

= 4(π + 2√2) in.

The new pastry chef at Jackson's Bakery specializes in sheet cakes for parties. She sold 17 small, 11 medium, and 20 large sheet cakes in one week. How much money did Jackson's Bakery make in one week from sheet cakes?

Answers

Answer:

Therefore the total amount that Jackson's Bakery made in one week from sheet cakes is: = $2,238

Step-by-step explanation:

Step One:

To arrive at the total amount made from the sheet cakes, we have to assign the prices of each type of cake. They are:

Small Sheet Cake - $36Medium Sheet Cake - $46Large Sheet Cake - $56

Step Two:

If the new pastry sold 17 small, 11 medium and 20 large sheet cakes respectively, the total money made comes to the following:

= (36 x 17) + (11 x 46) + (56 x 20)

= 612 +  506 + 1120

Therefore the total amount that Jackson's Bakery made in one week from sheet cakes is:

= $2,238

On a coordinate plane, three of the four vertices of a rectangle are located at the points (0,0). (5,5), and (6,2). What is the area, in square units of the rectangle?

Answers

Using the distance formula and the area of a rectangle, the area of the rectangle in square units is: B. 10√5

What is the Area of a Rectangle?

Area of rectangle = length × width.

What is Distance Formula?

Distance Formula is given as: [tex]d = \sqrt{(y_2 - y_1)^2 + (x_2 - x_1)^2}[/tex].

Thus:

Length of rectangle = distance between (0, 0) and (5, 5)

[tex]d = \sqrt{(5 - 0)^2 + (5 - 0)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{50}[/tex]

Width of rectangle = distance between (5, 5) and (6, 2)

[tex]d = \sqrt{(2 - 5)^2 + (6 - 5)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{10}[/tex]

Area of rectangle = √50 × √10

= √500

Area = 10√5

Therefore, using the distance formula and the area of a rectangle, the area of the rectangle in square units is: B. 10√5

A parabola can be drawn given a focus of (8, 6) and a directrix of x=4. Write the equation of the parabola

Answers

Answer:

The equation of the Parabola

 (y - 6 )² = 8 (x -6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

Given directrix  x = 4

we know that    x = h - a = 4

               h -a =  4  ...(i)

Given Focus  = ( 8,6)

we know that the Focus of the Parabola

         ( h + a , k ) = ( 8,6)

   comparing  h + a = 8 ...(ii)

                  k = 6

solving (i) and (ii) and adding

   h - a + h+ a = 8 +4

           2 h = 12

              h =6

   Put h = 6 in equation (i)

  ⇒     h - a =4

  ⇒   6 - 4 = a

  ⇒      a = 2

Step(ii):-

The equation of the Parabola ( h,k) = (6 , 6)

( y - k )² = 4 a ( x - h )

(y - 6 )² = 4 (2) (x -6)

(y - 6 )² = 8 (x -6)

You must be at least 42 inches tall to ride the bumper cars at an amusement park. Write an inequality that represents this situation. Let x represent the heights of people who are allowed to ride the bumper cars.

Answers

Answer:

x ≥ 42

Step-by-step explanation:

If you must be at least 42 inches tall to ride the bumper cars at an amusement park, this means that the minimum average height you can have is 42in i.e you can be more than 42inches tall.

The right inequality sign to represent this situations is a "greater than or equal to sign"(≥)

If x represent the heights of people who are allowed to ride the bumper cars, the required inequality expression will be x ≥ 42

A. 390/x+20 = 395/x

B. 390/x+10 = 325/x-10

C. 390/x = 325/x-20

D. 390/x-10 = 325/x+10

Answers

Answer: B

Explanation

I believe it’s B because it says when the plane fly with the wind it’s 390miles so if we want to know the speed of the plane In still air it should be 390/x + 10 because we need to consider that the speed of the plane + the speed of wind. While the plane fly at 325 against the wind so it should be 325/x - 10 cuz this time it goes against the wind.

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-5,5)and has a slope of -1

Answers

Answer:

          y = - x  

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form of the equation is y - y₀ = m(x - x₀), where (x₀, y₀) is any point the line passes through and m is the slope:

m = -1

(-5, 5)    ⇒   x₀ = -5,  y₀ = 5

The point-slope form of the equation:

y - 5 = -1(x + 5)

So:

y - 5 = -x - 5         {add 5 to both sides}

y = -x             ←  the slope-intercept form of the equation

1200 = 900 * (1.03)^t       Divide by 900

1200/900 = (1.03)^t

1.333 = 1.03^t                   Take the log of both sides.

log(1.3333) = t * log(1.03)log 1.3333 = .1249log 1.03     = .0128

1.249 = 0.0128*t

Answers

Answer:

9 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

For the graph, 1/2 inch represents 20 miles.

We need to find the distance between the cities on the map if the actual distance between the two cities is 360 miles.

1/2 inch = 20 miles

1 mile = [tex]\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2}}{20}=0.025\ \text{inches}[/tex]

For 360 miles, = 0.025 × 360

= 9 inches

Hence, the required answer is 9 inches.
