Apiece of wire 80 cm long is cut into two pieces. one piece is 2x m long and is bent to form a rectangle of length 4x m. the other piece is bent to form a square. a.) find, in terms of x, i.) the area of the rectangle, ii.) the length of the side of the square, iii.) the area of the square b.) show that the total area y m^2, of the rectangle and the square is given by y = 17x^2 - 120x + 400

could you give more information?

the simplified form is

step-by-step explanation:

we want to simplify the expression,

let us change the middle bar to a normal division sign to obtain,

we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to obtain,

we factor to obtain,

we cancel the common factors to get,

we simplify to get,

the correct answer is b

hi there!

first we need to find out how much they are adding to each number to make the next number.

ex: 4 + 4 = 8, 8 + 8 = 16, and so on.

so continuing with 32,

32 + 32 = 64

64 + 64 = 128

128 + 128 = 256

256 + 256 = 512

4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512

the 8th term of the sequence will be 512

hope this ! ~
