#1) Diameter of a circle. If the diameter of a circle is 1.3 X 10-12
(that should read 10 to the negative 12th) meters, then what is its radius?
d = {{{1.3(10^-12)}}}
r = {{{(1.3(10^-12))/2}}} = {{{.65(10^-12)}}}; divided 1.3 by 2
Write in scientific notation
r = {{{6.5(10^-13)}}}

#2)Area of a parallelogram. Find a trinomial A(x) that represents
the area of a parallelogram whose base is 3x + 2 meters and whose height is
 2x+ 3 meters.
A = b*h
A = (3x+2)*(2x+3)
FOIL
A(x) = 6x^2 + 9x + 4x + 6
A(x) = 6x^2 + 13x + 6, is your trinomial
 Find A(3).
A(3) = 6(3^2) + 13(3) + 6
A(3) = 6(9) + 39 + 6
A(3) = 54 + 39 + 6
A(3) = 99

#3)
Perimeter of a rectangle. The perimeter of a rectangular backyard is 6x+ 6 yards.
 If the width is x yards, find a binomial that represents the length
Perimeter equation:
2L + 2W = P
In this problem:
2L + 2x = 6x+6
2L = 6x - 2x + 6
2L = 4x + 6
Divide both sides by 2
L = 2x + 3, is the length

did this make sense to you?</PRE>
