1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 = 3/6 = 1/2

One <em>possible counterexample</em> is:

1/4 + 1/5 + 1/20 = 1/2.

In this problem, we would find the least common denominator for 4, 5 and 20. The first thing all 3 numbers will divide into is 20:

1/4 = 5/20; 1/5 = 4/20; 1/20 = 1/20

This gives us: 5/20 + 4/20 + 1/20

Adding the numerators, we get (5+4+1)/20 = 10/20 = 1/2.

3. The area of a rectangular deck, in square meters, is given by the polynomial 40p2 + 24p.
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

Length = 5p + 3

Perimeter = 26p + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Area = 40p² + 24p

Width = 8p

Solving for the length of deck

Given that the deck is rectangular in shape.

The area will be calculated as thus;

Area = Length * Width

Substitute 40p² + 24p and 8p for Area and Width respectively

The formula becomes

40p² + 24p = Length * 8p

Factorize both sides

p(40p + 24) = Length * 8 * p

Divide both sides by P

40p + 24 = Length * 8

Factorize both sides, again

8(5p + 3) = Length * 8

Multiply both sides by ⅛

⅛ * 8(5p + 3) = Length * 8 * ⅛

5p + 3 = Length

Length = 5p + 3

Solving for the perimeter of the deck

The perimeter of the deck is calculated as thus

Perimeter = 2(Length + Width)

Substitute 5p + 3 and 8p for Length and Width, respectively.

Perimeter = 2(5p + 3 + 8p)

Perimeter = 2(5p + 8p + 3)

Perimeter = 2(13p + 3)

Open bracket

Perimeter = 2 * 13p + 2 * 3

Perimeter = 26p + 6

Juliette [100K]
This is the concept of algebra, the revenue of the smart phone sells is given by:
revenue=cost+profit
cost of producing an phone is:
C(x)=2x+35

Profit is given by the function:
P(x)=-x^2+120x-435
Thus the revenue will be:
R(x)=-x^2+120x-435+2x+35
R(x)=-x^2+122x-400
The answer is A
