Question
In order to ensure compliance with the law, Miguel routinely overshoots the weight of his tortillas by 0.5 gram. He just
received a report that told him that he could be losing as much as $100,000 per year using this practice. He now plans to
buy new equipment that guarantees the thickness of a tortilla within 0.005 inch. If the ideal thickness of a tortilla is 0.04
Inch, what tortilla thickness will be guaranteed?

the polynomial is a perfect square trinomial of the form a^2-2ab+b^2:

option a. true

step-by-step explanation:

9x^2-12x+4

comparing with the form a^2-2ab+b^2

1.) a^2=9x^2

solving for a: square root both sides of the equation:

sqrt(a^2)=sqrt(9x^2)

a=sqrt(9) sqrt(x^2)

a=3x

2.) b^2=4

solving for b: square root both sides of the equation:

sqrt(b^2)=sqrt(4)

b=2

to be a perfet square trinomial 2ab must be equal to 12x. let's check:

2ab = 2 (3x) (2)

2ab = 12x

correct

answer: 8

step-by-step explanation: if you add the possibilities 5 different flavor and 3 different sizes 5+3=8
