Rectangle A has an area of 9 - x2. Rectangle B has an area of x2 + x - 12. In simplest form, what is the ratio of the area of Rectangle A to the area of Rectangle B? Show your work.
divide the area of triangle A/B \[\frac{ 9-x ^{2} }{ x ^{2}+x-12 }\]
now simplify
\[\frac{ (3-x)(3+x) }{ (x+4)(x-3) }\]
okay umm
\[\frac{ (3-x)(3+x) }{ -(x+4)(3-x)}\]
@Abdulhameed You just flip it around?
what do u mean?
well i looked at it and notice u switched the x and 3 on the bottom right and made a negative off the side on the bottom left
\[-\frac{ (3+x) }{(x+4) }\]
so thats it?
\[\frac{ -x-3 }{ x+4 }\]
that's it
oh okay ty
do u think u can help me with one more?
u r welcome , ok i'll do my best to help
Trevor is tiling his bathroom floor, which has an area that is represented as 117r4 square inches. Each tile has an area of square root of the quantity 9 r to the thirteenth power . The total number of tiles used can be represented by the expression below. one hundred seventeen r to the fourth power, all over the square root of the quantity nine r to the thirteenth power
and what do i have to find in the question ??
Simplify the expression for the total number of tiles used.
@Abdulhameed
\[\frac{ 117r ^{4} }{ \sqrt{9r ^{13}} }\]
\[\sqrt{9}=3\] so \[\frac{ 117r ^{4} }{ 3\times \sqrt{r ^{13}}} \]
117/3=39 \[\frac{ 39r ^{4} }{ r ^{13/2} }\] \[39r ^{4-13/2}\] \[39r ^{-5/2}\] \[\frac{ 39 }{ r ^{5/2} }\] \[\frac{ 39 }{ \sqrt{r ^{5}}}\]
dat all? o:
yep that's all :)
Ty so much
u can skip some steps bcoz i wrote some steps to show what i did (for explanation)
alright ty
np :)
