Explain why this is wrong:
(Student's Solution): "Factor the polynomial"
y^2-6y+9=y^2-2(y)(3)+3^2 = (y-3)(y+3)
Note: Please help, I have been working on this for like 4 days im so tired.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

y^2 - 6y + 9 can be changed correctly into y^2 - 2(y)(3) + 3^2.

Up to here, it's correct.

The right side above shows a polynomial that is the square of a binomial.

It factors into (y - 3)^2.

The correct factorization is (y - 3)^2.

The incorrect factorization of the student's solution is the product of a sum and difference.

The product of a sum and a difference is the correct factorization for a difference of squares.

For example, y^2 - 9 is the same as y^2 - 3^2 and is a difference of squares.

It factors into (y + 3)(y - 3), a product of a sum and a difference.

Whats the value of x????

Answers

Answer:

X = 23

Step-by-step explanation:

oppsosite angles are equal so the brackets equal 90 degrees like the right angle opposite.

90-21 = 69

69  / 3 = 23

x = 23

Answer:

23

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation on the left will equal to 90 due to it being congruent to the angle with the square. Therefore, make the equation out to be 3x+21=90 and subtract 21 from both sides and that will give you 69. Divide 69 by three which will leave you with x=23

Answers

Correction in the Question:

A wooded area is in the shape of a a trapezoid whose bases measure 128 m and 92 m and its height is 40 m. A 4 m wide walkway is constructed which runs perpendicular from the two bases. Calculate the area of the wooded area after the addition of the walkway.

Answer:

The wooded area after the addition of the walkway is 4240 [tex]m^2[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given

length of the two bases = 128m and 92m

height of the trapezoid = 40m

the approximate figure of the given trapezoid is given as:

             __ __ __ 92 __ __ _

          /  |               |  |                 \

       /     | 40         |4|                    \

    /__ _| __ __     |  |__ __ __ __ \

                           128

Area of a trapezoid = [(a + b)/2] * height, where a and b are representing the bases of the given trapezoid.

Area = [(92 + 128)/2] * 40

        = [220/2] * 40  

        = 110 * 40

        = 4400 [tex]m^2[/tex]

Now there is a 4m wide walkway is to be constructed in that trapezoid. The pathway will be a rectangle as it has 4m width and 40m height as it is perpendicular to both the bases.  

Area of a rectangle = length * width

Area = 40 * 4

        = 160

Since the walkway will reduce the area of the trapezoid as it is constructed upon it therefore the wooded area after the addition of the walkway is

4400 + (-160) = 4240 [tex]m^2[/tex].

I'm not too sure what you mean but since there was no image I tried to look up how to tell if angles are corresponding based on angle degree and the most I got was the angles will be equal but only if there is a transversal cur but none of the answers equal each other

Step-by-step explanation:

so what advice I can give you is corresponding angles are usually the same degree but on a different level. like on the first parallel line there is an angle and on the second (or whatever) there is another angle (on the same side of the first) -meaning they will both be on the right or the left- and yeah there you go

Mogaka and Ondiso working together can do a piece of job in 6 days. Mogaka
working alone takes 5 days longer than Ondiso. How many days does it take
Onduso to do the work alone?
(3mks)​

Answers

Answer:

10 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Mogaka and Ondiso working together can do a piece of job in 6 days. Mogaka working alone takes 5 days longer than Ondiso. How many days does it take Ondiso to do the work alone?

Let us represent :

The number of days

Mogaka worked alone = x

Ondiso worked alone = y

Total days worked together = T

Mogaka and Ondiso working together can do a piece of job in 6 days.

Hence,

1/x + 1/y = 1/T

Mogaka working alone takes 5 days longer than Ondiso.

x = y + 5

Therefore:

1/y + 5 + 1/y = 1/6

Multiply all through by (y+5)(y)

= y + y + 5 = (y+5)(y)/6

= 2y + 5/1 = (y+5)(y)/6

Cross Multiply

6( 2y + 5) = (y+5)(y)

12y + 30 = y² + 5y

= y² + 5y - 12y - 30 = 0

= y² - 7y - 30 = 0

Factorise

= y² +3y - 10y - 30 = 0

y(y + 3) - 10(y + 3) = 0

(y + 3)(y -10)= 0

y + 3 = 0, y = -3

y - 10 = 0

y = 10 days

Note that

The number of days Ondiso worked alone = y

Hence, it takes 10 days for Ondiso to work alone

Help! What does the bracket mean and how do I do the questions?

Answers

Answer:

maybe it meane 11/a

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

The bracket is the binomial.

The definition is: [tex]\binom{n}{k} = \frac{n!}{k!\cdot (n-k)!}[/tex]

Note that [tex]\binom{n}{k} = \binom{n}{n-k}[/tex]

The meaning is "if we have n elements, how many ways are there to choose k of them?" From this definition it should be obvious that [tex]\binom{n}{k} = \binom{n}{n-k}[/tex] - if you're picking k, it's just as many ways as choosing the (n-k) that you're not picking.

The coefficient can be found by realizing that to get x^9, we need to choose (from the full multiplication):

9 brackets to provide x2 brackets to provide the number 3

There's [tex]\binom{11}{9}[/tex] ways to do that, so the component for x^9 will be:

[tex]\binom{11}{9} \cdot 3^2 \cdot x^9 = \frac{11!}{2!\cdot 9!} \cdot 3^2 \cdot x^9 = \frac{10\cdot 11}{2} \cdot 3^2 \cdot x^9 = 55 \cdot 9 \cdot x^9 = 495x^9[/tex]

So:

a = 2

Coefficient is 495

So take this and you know the middle is right in between 92 and 93

71  81  89  92      |      93  94  94  99

All you have to do then is take the mean of 92 and 93 (so do [92+93]/2)

Answer:

y = -0.25x + 40 ; $26,000

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph attached ;

The regression equation, y could be obtained :

y = mx + c

m = slope = Rise / Run = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Slope = (15 - 40) / (100 - 0)

Slope = - 25 / 100

Slope = - 0.25

c = intercept, where the regression line crosses the y-axis, from. The graph, c = 40

The regression equation goes thus :

y = -0.25x + 40 ; y = price of car ; x = number of miles driven

Price of car that has been driven for 56000 miles

y = - 0.25(56) + 40

y = - 14 + 40

y = 26

Hence, price of car is $26,000

Ariana orders 4 large pizzas and 1 order of breadsticks The total for her order is $34.46. Emily orders 2 large pizzas and 1 order of breadsticks. $18.48 is the total for her order. Determine the order for 1 large pizza and 1 order of breadsticks?

Answers

4p + 1b = 34.46
2p + 1b = 18.48

Solve either equation for b

2p + b = 18.48
b = 18.48 - 2p

Substitute into first equation
4p + 18.48 - 2p = 34.46
2p + 18.48 = 34.46
2p = 15.98
p = $7.99

Plug back into either equation to find cost of breadsticks

2(7.99) + b = 18.48
15.98 + b = 18.48
b = $2.50

One pizza + breadstick
$7.99 + $2.50
$10.49 :)

Answer:

[tex] f(x) = -\dfrac{2}{17}x + \dfrac{843}{17} [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Score of 37 with 107 minutes on social media.

Score of 41 with 73 minutes on social media.

The two pieces of information above can be thought of as two points on a line. Since the quiz score is a function of the number of minutes on social medial, let the number of minutes on social media be x and the score be y. The given information gives us two ordered pairs: (107, 37) and (73, 41).

Now we need to write the equation of a line that passes through these two points.

The two-point form of the equation of a line is:

[tex] y - y_1 = \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}(x - x_1) [/tex]

We have [tex] x_1 = 107 [/tex], [tex] y_1 = 37 [/tex], [tex] x_2 = 73 [/tex], and [tex]y_2 = 41[/tex].

[tex] y - 37 = \dfrac{41 - 37}{73 - 107}(x - 107) [/tex]

[tex] y - 37 = \dfrac{4}{-34}(x - 107) [/tex]

[tex] y - 37 = -\dfrac{2}{17}(x - 107) [/tex]

[tex] 17y - 629 = -2x + 214 [/tex]

[tex] 17y = -2x + 843 [/tex]

[tex] y = -\dfrac{2}{17}x + \dfrac{843}{17} [/tex]

[tex] f(x) = -\dfrac{2}{17}x + \dfrac{843}{17} [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Use pythagorean Theorem which is a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the sides of the triangle and c is the hypotenuse, in other words the longest side.

Since x is in line with the center of the circle and is perpendicular with line that measures 15.6 cm we know that one side of the triangle is half of 15.6 or 7.8.

So then we input our known values into the formula and solve for the missing one. The formula looks like this

7.8^2 + b^2 = 8.8^2
