The rate (in meters per second) that an object travels is the quotient of the distance (in meters) it travels and the time (in seconds) it takes to travel that distance. A particle traveled the distance of 3x^2-12 meters for ( x + 2 )seconds. Write the rate of the particle as a rational algebraic expression in simplest form.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate

= Distance / Time

= (3x² - 12)m / (x + 2)s

= 3(x + 2)(x - 2)m / (x + 2)s

= 3(x - 2) m/s.

-7

step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 18x + 74 = (x + 9)^2 - 81 + 74

= (x + 9)^2 - 7.

so q = -7.

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
