Answer:

$\sqrt{4}\cdot \sqrt{15}=2\sqrt{15}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a radical expression $\sqrt{60}$ . We are asked to rewrite the given radicand as two factors, one of which is a perfect square.

We can rewrite 60 as product of 4 and 15 as:

$\sqrt{4*15}$

Using property $\sqrt{m} \cdot \sqrt{n} =\sqrt{m\cdot n}$ we will get,

$\sqrt{4}\cdot \sqrt{15}$

Since 4 is a perfect square, so we can simplify our expression as:

$2\cdot \sqrt{15}$ .

A parabola, with its vertex at the origin, has a directrix at y = 3. Which statements about the parabola are true? Select two op

shutvik [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's answer these questions in an all-encompassing kind of explanation. If you plot the vertex and the directrix, you see that the vertex is below the directrix. Because of the fact that a parabola opens AWAY from the directrix, and wraps itself around the focus, we know it's an upside down parabola of the form

$4p(y-k)=-(x-h)^2$

The p value from the equation is a distance, specifically the distance between either the vertex and the directrix, or the vertex and the focus. The vertex is exactly in the middle of the directrix and the focus. So that tells us that the focus is 3 units below the vertex (because the directrix is 3 units above the vertex). We also know from this that p = 3.

Filling in the equation with a vertex of (0, 0) which is our h and k respectively:

$4(3)(y-0)=-(x-0)^2$ which simplifies to

$12y=-x^2$ and multiplying both sides by -1:

$-12y=x^2$ . This is not standard form, but it matches what your equation is in the choices. So to sum up:

The focus is located at (0, -3) and the first choice is true.

The parabola opens upside down and the second choice is not true.

The p value is found by counting the units between the vertex and the directrix, so the third choice is not true.

We solved the equation by filling in the values for h, k, and p and got that the equation in the fourth choice is true.

So the fifth choice is not true.

Stacey has a square piece of cloth. She cuts 3 inches off of the length of the square and 3 inches off of the width. The area of

ratelena [41]

Answer:

The side length of the original square was 6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of a square is

$A=b^2$

where

b is the length side of the square

Let

x ---> the length of the original square

The area of the original square is

$A=x^{2}\ in^2$

The length of the smaller square is

$b=(x-3)\ in$

The area of the smaller square is

$A=(x-3)^2\ in^2$

The area of the smaller square is 1/4 the area of the original square

$(x-3)^2=\frac{1}{4} x^{2}$

solve for x

$x^2-6x+9=\frac{1}{4} x^{2}$

Multiply by 4 both sides

$4x^2-24x+36=x^{2}$

$4x^2-x^2-24x+36=0\\3x^2-24x+36=0$

Solve the quadratic equation by graphing

using a graphing tool

x=2, x=6

see the attached figure

The solution is x=6 in

Remember that the solution must be greater than 3 inches (because Stacey cuts 3 inches off of the length of the square and 3 inches off of the width)

therefore

The side length of the original square was 6 inches

Ava wants to figure out the average speed she is driving. She starts checking her car’s clock at mile marker 0. It takes her 4 m

VLD [36.1K]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The average speed of car is:

0.75 miles per minutes.

The equation of line is:

$n=\dfrac{3}{4}t$

<h2>Step-by-step solution:</h2>

The table that describes the time and number of miles marked is given by:

Time Miles

0 0

4 3

8 6

Clearly we could observe that with the increase in time by every 4 minutes the number of mile increases by 3.

i.e. the average speed is calculated as the ratio of change in miles to the change in time.

Hence,

$Average\ Speed=\dfrac{3-0}{4-0}\\\\\\i.e.\\\\\\Average\ Speed=\dfrac{3}{4}=0.75$

Hence, the average speed=0.75 miles per minutes.

Also we will find the equation of the lines that related the miles and time by using the two-point formula.

i.e. any line passing through (a,b) and (c,d) is calculated by using the formula:

$y-b=\dfrac{d-b}{c-a}\times (x-a)$

Here (a,b)=(0,0) and (c,d)=(4,3)

i.e. the equation is given by:

$n-0=\dfrac{3-0}{4-0}\times (t-0)\\\\i.e.\\\\n=\dfrac{3}{4}t$

You need to write an essay that has at least 500 words you have written 285 words so far right and solve an inequality that Reec

andrezito [222]

Answer:

The minimum number of words left to write is 215

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

w -----> the number of words left to write

we know that

The number of words left to write plus the words written so far must be greater than or equal to 500 words

Remember that the word "at least" means "greater than or equal to"

$w+285\geq 500$

Solve for w

Subtract 285 both sides

$w\geq 500-285\\w\geq 215$

The minimum number of words left to write is 215

Elena is feeding her neighbor's dogs each dog gets two thirds cup of dog food and she uses three and one third cups of food how

MrRa [10]

Answer:

Total number of dogs is 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cups of food each dog gets= $\frac{2}{3}$

Here,each dog eats two-third cups of dog food.

Amount of dog food used= $\frac{10}{3}$

A total of three and one-third cups of food is used up.

Let the number of dogs be x.

To find the number of dogs,divide total dog food used by the amount of dog food eaten by each dog.

Hence, x = $\frac{\frac{10}{3} }{\frac{2}{3} }$

x = $\frac{10}{2}$

x =5
