im going to die please help

OpenStudy (afloridagirl):

Which expression is equivalent to the area of metal sheet required to make this square-shaped traffic sign? A square shaped traffic sign is shown with length of one side labeled as 4x plus 3. 16x2 + 12x + 9 16x2 + 24x + 9 8x2 + 9 8x2 + 6

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

Area of a square is \[A=s^2\] you know that the side length is s=4x+3. \[A=(4x+3)^2\]

OpenStudy (koikkara):

Right, as your question says >> A square shaped traffic sign !

OpenStudy (afloridagirl):

so would the answer be c

OpenStudy (welshfella):

no here's how to expand (4x + 3)^2:- = (4x + 3)(4x + 3) = 4x(4x + 3) + 3(4x = 3) Can you continue form here?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

* from

OpenStudy (afloridagirl):

d?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

No 4x(4x + 3) + 3(4x = 3) = 4x*4x + 4x*3 + 3*4x + 3*3

OpenStudy (welshfella):

can you do these multiplications?

OpenStudy (afloridagirl):

a right

OpenStudy (afloridagirl):

yes?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

4x* 4x = 16x^2 4x*3 = 12x can you work out the other 2 ?

OpenStudy (afloridagirl):

im so confused

OpenStudy (afloridagirl):

im sorry i am so horrible at math

OpenStudy (welshfella):

can you see why 4x * 3 = 12x ?? 3 times 4 = 12 and the x stays as its is

OpenStudy (welshfella):

and 3 times 4x gives the same results ( the order does not matter here)

OpenStudy (welshfella):

I cant give you the answer. You need to study some basic algebra.

OpenStudy (afloridagirl):

it would be 16x2 + 24x + 9

OpenStudy (afloridagirl):

if i multiply those things right? @welshfella

OpenStudy (welshfella):

16x^2 + 12x + 12x + 9 = 16x^2 + 24x + 9

OpenStudy (welshfella):

right

OpenStudy (afloridagirl):

thank you

OpenStudy (afloridagirl):

can you help with another one?

OpenStudy (afloridagirl):

@welshfella

OpenStudy (afloridagirl):

Find the quotient of quantity of 4 times x to the 3rd power minus 12 times x to the 2nd power plus 8 times x all over negative 4 times x. −x2 + 3x − 2 x2 − 12x + 4 −x2 − 3x + 2 x2 + 12x − 4

OpenStudy (afloridagirl):

i think its c

OpenStudy (proheiper):

^ flvs?

OpenStudy (afloridagirl):

yes

OpenStudy (proheiper):

same

OpenStudy (proheiper):

isnt welshfella the brainly person that always advertised? @welshfella

OpenStudy (afloridagirl):

idk

OpenStudy (welshfella):

that's not me. I don't like brainly very much.

OpenStudy (proheiper):

oh true

OpenStudy (proheiper):

idk i just remember a cat

OpenStudy (afloridagirl):

is no one going to help me

OpenStudy (afloridagirl):

not to be rude or anything

OpenStudy (proheiper):

oh lol

OpenStudy (proheiper):

just did this yesterday

OpenStudy (welshfella):

4x^3 - 12x^2 + 8x ----------------- -4x divide -4x into each of the terms at the top so 4x^3 / -4x = -x^2 ( note that you subtract the exponents when you divide. x^3 / x = x^(3-1) = x^2) and 4 /- 4 = -1

OpenStudy (welshfella):

next you need to work out - 12x^2 / -4 x

OpenStudy (proheiper):

and it was chestercat that always spammed

OpenStudy (proheiper):

chestercat 4 years ago See more answers at brainly.com

OpenStudy (afloridagirl):

what?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

-12 / -4 = + 3 and x^2 / x = x now try and finish it off

OpenStudy (afloridagirl):

would it be b?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

no because we just worked out the first term which is -x^2

OpenStudy (afloridagirl):

and you said it wasnt c

OpenStudy (afloridagirl):

so its a

OpenStudy (afloridagirl):

@welshfella

OpenStudy (afloridagirl):

it was a

sam (.sam.):

Look, \[\frac{4x^3 - 12x^2 + 8x}{-4x}\] You'll split the denominator to the terms on the numerator \[\frac{4x^3}{-4x}+\frac{-12x^2}{-4x}+\frac{8x}{-4x}\] Simplifying it, \[=-x^2+3x+?\]

sam (.sam.):

You'll just need to work out \(\frac{8x}{-4x}\) and you're done
