Response:

Dimensions of the rectangular fence:

x = 14 ft

w = 7 ft

A = 98 ft²

Detailed explanation:

Dimensions of the rectangular fence:

x = length, and w = width

Then x = 2*w ⇒ w = x/2

Perimeter is

p = 2*x + 2*w

p = 2*x + 2* x/2

p = 2*x + x

3*x = 42

x = 14 ft and w = 14/2  ⇒ w = 7 ft

Find the coefficient of x2 in (3x2 – 5) (4 + 4x2), expand using algebraic expressions and answer
babunello [11817]

Answer:

- 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

(3x² - 5)(4 + 4x²)

Each term from the second factor is multiplied by every term in the first factor, meaning

3x²(4 + 4x²) - 5(4 + 4x²) ← distribute both parentheses

= 12x² + 12x^{4} - 20 - 20x² ← combine like terms

= 12x^{4} - 8x² - 20

The coefficient for the x² term is - 8

A rectangular piece of paper has a width that is 3 inches less than its length. It is cut in half along a diagonal to create two
babunello [11817]

Answer:

A is TRUE (44 in² * 2 = 88 in²).

B is FALSE because x(x-3) = 88 for the rectangle or x(x-3)/2 = 44 for the triangle.

C is TRUE if x(x-3) = 88 leads to x² - 3x - 88 = 0.

D is TRUE:

x² - 3x - 88 = 0.

Δ = 9 + 4 * 88 = 361 = 19².

Thus, x = 11 or x = -8 (we discard negative values).

E is FALSE as 11 * 4 ≠ 88.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please correct me if I'm mistaken.
