Presuming that the expressions and relate to the base and height of the parallelogram (in one order or the other), you need to FOIL the two expressions, set the product equal to 96, put the equation into standard form, and then solve the quadratic. Discard any root less than -1. Then substitute the remaining root into the two expressions, assigning the resulting values to the base and height appropriate to their relative size on the diagram.

Since the vertex is on the -axis, symmetry says that if is on the parabola, is on the parabola. Now that we have three points on the parabola we can write the equation.

All parabolas with a vertical axis of symmetry can be described by a function of the form:



So, if the point is on the parabola, then





Then, if the point is on the parabola, then





Then, if the point is on the parabola, then





Substituting the known value of we are left with a 2X2 system:











And then substituting the now known coefficients into the function definition:



Since the lead coefficient is positive, the parabola opens upward.

If the proportion is 3:5:8, then there must be 3 + 5 + 8 = 16 portions, 3 of which were contributed by Mary, 5 by Bob (hope I didn't spell his name backwards), and 8 by Dylan. Divide the total by 16, then multiply by 3 to get Mary's amount, by 5 to get Bob's amount, and by 8 to get Dylan's amount.

54 is even, so it is divisible by 2: 54 divided by 2 is 27, one factor of 2

27 is odd, so not divisible by 2, but 2 plus 7 is 9 and 9 is divisible by 3, so 27 is divisible by 3: 27 divided by 3 is 9, one factor of 3

9 is divisible by 3: 9 divided by 3 is 3, two factors of 3

3 is prime: 3 factors of 3.

This is a Physics AND a Mathematics question. You have to answer the Physics part first, and that question is: What is the function that describes a falling object near the surface of planet ______? (You have to decide where in the universe this stone is falling before you can determine the coefficients of your function.)

Once you have determined the height (as a function of time) function that describes your vertical motion experiment, set the function equal to zero (because the ground is zero height) and solve for time.

Use the two-point form of an equation of a line to write an equation of a line that passes through vertex and the midpoint of segment . Simplify as you like.

Two-point form:



where and are the coordinates of the given points.

Once you have derived both equations, solve the 2X2 independent and consistent system. The solution set will be the centroid.

If you are a glutton for punishment, you can check your work by writing an equation of a line that passes through vertex and the midpoint of segment . Then pair this new equation with either of the other two and solve the new 2X2 system. Given error-free work, you get the same solution set to the system.

Let represent the larger of the two digits. Let represent the smaller. We know that they have to be different, and therefore there exists a smaller and a larger because the difference is non-zero.

The difference of the digits is 5:



The difference of the squares is 45:



Add to both sides of the first equation:



Substitute for in the second equation:



Expand the binomial and simplify:







Now you know that one of the digits of your two digit number is 2.

Go back to the first equation:

Same thing you do when there are numbers on both sides. Add or subtract so that one side goes to zero, effectively moving the variable to the other side. If you add x to both sides of your equation, x will go away on the left, if you subtract x from both sides x will go away on the right.

A square is a figure with 4 equal sides. The perimeter is the sum of the measures of the 4 equal sides. If you multiply the measure of one side times 4 you get the perimeter. So if you __________ the perimeter by 4 you get the measure of one side.

332 is the number enrolled in Econ, but includes both those enrolled in ONLY Econ or both Econ and Math. So 332 minus 144 is the number enrolled only in Econ. Likewise 223 minus 144 is the number enrolled only in Math.

So 188 Econ only, 79 Math only, 144 both, and the rest 500 - (188 + 79 + 144) are enrolled in none.
