Question

Examine the figure below and answer the questions that follow. Be sure to write your answers in standard form and write the degree and classification for each answer.

A contractor is putting in a wall in an office building to partition the room into two smaller rooms. The image above shows a 2-dimensional representation of a wall with a cut-out for a door.

Answer 1

2. The contractor is trying to design a scale model of the wall to show the buildings manager. To create this scale, he will have to divide the the area of the wall as calculated in Part A by 4xy4. With the polynomial in standard form, divide the first term only by 4xy4. Then divide the second term only by 4xy4. Show your work for the division of each term by 4xy4 separately.



3. If a window with the area of 12xy4 was placed on this wall, what would be the new area of the wall space left? You must show all work and calculations to receive credit.

Answer 2

Please share the figure with the rest of us. Then someone will be able to give you a more meaningful response. :)

Answer 4

Thanks for sharing this image. I wish I were in a position to be of further help, but need to hit the sack. I'd suggest you re-post your question and be certain to include the image right away. Bet you'd get responses from others faster that way. Good luck, BigBang! :)

Answer 5

What was part A?

Answer 6

1. Create the expression that represents the area of the wall space only using the dimensions shown above. Show your work.

Answer 7

And what did you get for that?

Answer 8

Need to make it snappy, I'm about to turn into a pumpkin as well.

Answer 9

First Simplify monomial term number 1: (5x2y3)3
We take each piece of our monomial term inside the parentheses of 5x2y3, and raise it to a power of 3

53 = 5 x 5 x 5 = 125


(x2)3 = x(2 x 3) = x6


(y3)3 = y(3 x 3) = y9

final answer:
(5x2y3)3 = 125x6y9

then we Simplify monomial term number 2: (4y2)3
We take each piece of our monomial term inside the parentheses of 4y2, and raise it to a power of 3

43 = 4 x 4 x 4 = 64


(y2)3 = y(2 x 3) = y6

final answer:
(4y2)3 = 64y6

Our new expression is: (125x6y9)(64y6)
Group constants:
125 x 64 = 8000

Group variables:
x6 = x6
y9 + 6 = y15
final answer:
(5x2y3)3(4y2)3 = 8000x6y15

Answer 10

That's correct if you are ignoring the door...but part 2 implies that the first part will give you an answer with 2 terms, which means you aren't supposed to ignore the door.

Answer 11

so how do I further the math to include the door?

Answer 12

what is the area of the door? the area of the wall is the area you previously computed, with the area of the door subtracted

Answer 13

okay, can we pick this up tomorrow? I'm really tired and my brain cant process this anymore lol

Answer 14

Okay, good night

Answer 15

the area of the door is 768y^4x
@whpalmer4

Answer 16

Uh, no. How did you get that?

Answer 17

width of the door is \(4y^4\)
height of the door is \(3x\)
Area of the door is width * height = \(4y^4*3x = \)
