If two numbers represent by (2m + 1) and (2m + 5) have a sum of 74, find

(2m + 1) + (2m + 5) = 74

combine like terms

4m+6 = 74

subtract 6 from each side

4m = 68

divide by 4

m =17

2m+1 = 2(17)+ 1 = 34+1 = 35

2m+5 = 2(17) +5 = 34+5 = 39

answer is 8x+24

area of vanessa's patio = length × width

given, length = (3x² + 5x + 10)

width = (x² - 3x - 1)

area of vanessa's patio = (3x² + 5x + 10)(x² - 3x - 1)

= 3x²(x² - 3x - 1) + 5x(x² - 3x - 1) + 10(x² - 3x - 1)

= 3x⁴ - 9x³ - 3x² + 5x³ - 15x² - 5x + 10x² - 30x - 10

= 3x⁴ - 4x³ - 8x² - 35x - 10

hence, expression of vanessa's patio = (3x⁴ - 4x³ - 8x² - 35x - 10)

we need to see the graph to know but

strong positive is if it is going up from left to right in a straight diagonal line (like this /)

strong negative is the same but from right to left (like this \)

weak negative is the same as strong negative but its more straight line still right to left

and weak positive is the same as strong positive but more a straight line still left to right though.
