2/3 reciprocal is 3/2, & 8/3 reciprocal is 3/8. The numbers are just filled to find their reciprocal!
9:7
Ratios are always simplified so by dividing both 18 and 14 by 2 you get 9 and seven. Because yellow triangles is stated first the 9 is put before the 7 blue triangles.
Since p = x² - 7, you can substitute/plug in p for x² - 7
So:
(x² - 7)² - 4x² + 28 = 5
(p)² - 4x² + 28 = 5 You can factor out -4 from (-4x² + 28)
p² - 4(x² - 7) = 5 Plug in p
p² - 4p = 5 Subtract 5
p² - 4p - 5 = 0 Your answer is C
Area=1/2 times base times height
note:bh=base times height
a=1/2bh
b=width
h=-4+2w
h=2w-4
subsitute
a=1/2w(2w-4)
a=1/2(2s^2-4w)
a=w^2-2w
a=63
63=w^2-2w
subtract 63 from both sdies
0=w^2-2w-63
factor
find what 2 numbers multiply to get -63 and add to get -2
the numbers are -9 and 7
so
0=(w-9)(w+7)
if xy=0 then x and/or y=0
so
w-9=0
w+7=0
solve each
w-9=0
add 9 to both sdies
w=9
w+7=0
subtract 7 from both sides
w=-7
width cannot be negative so this can be discarded
width=9
subsitute
l=2w-4
l=2(9)-4
l=18-4
l=14
legnth=14 in
width/base=9 in
Look at this:
2x+$2,000=$28,000
2x=$28,000-$2,000
2x=$26,000
x=26,000 divided by 2
x=$13,000
