The lengths of three sides of a quadrilateral are shown below:

side 1: 4y + 2y2 − 3

side 2: −4 + 2y2 + 2y

side 3: 4y2 − 3 + 2y

the perimeter of the quadrilateral is 22y3 + 10y2 + 10y − 17.

part a: what is the total length of sides 1, 2, and 3 of the quadrilateral? (4 points)

part b: what is the length of the fourth side of the quadrilateral? (4 points)

part c: do the answers for part a and part b show that the polynomials are closed under addition and subtraction? justify your answer. (2 points
i will give 40 points to the first correct answer!

  (A) 8y^2 +8y -10

  (B) 22y^3 +2y^2 +2y -7

  (C) yes, for these polynomials. The result of adding or subtracting the polynomials in this problem is another polynomial, suggesting the set of polynomials is closed to addition and subtraction.

Step-by-step explanation:

A. (4y + 2y^2 − 3) + (−4 + 2y^2 + 2y) + (4y^2 − 3 + 2y)

  = y^2(2 +2 +4) +y(4 +2 +2) +(-3 -4 -3)

  = 8y^2 +8y -10 . . . . total length of sides 1, 2, 3

__

B. The length of the 4th side is the difference between the perimeter and the sum of the other three sides:

  (22y^3 + 10y^2 + 10y − 17) -(8y^2 +8y -10)

  = 22y^3 +y^2(10 -8) +y(10 -8) +(-17 +10)

  = 22y^3 +2y^2 +2y -7 . . . . length of 4th side

C. The result of adding or subtracting the polynomials in this problem is another polynomial, suggesting the set of polynomials is closed to addition and subtraction. An example is not a proof, but there is nothing about this example that would suggest a different conclusion.

step-by-step explanation:

x =-.20752

step-by-step explanation:

4^(x+2)=12

4^(x+2)=12

take the log base 4 on each side

log 4 (4^(x+2) = log 4(12)

we know log b(a^y) = y log b (a)

(x+2) log 4(4) = log 4 (12)

x+2 = log 4 (12)

we know   logb c = loga c/loga b

we want to convert to base 10   so a = 10

by default, we do not write the 10   c = 4   and b = 10

log4 10 = log 12/log 4

log4 10 = log 12/ log 4

x+2 = log 12/ log 4

subtract 2 from each side

x +2 -2 = log 12/ log 4 -2

x = 1.79248125 -2

x =-.20752
