find a dimension of a rectangle whose width is 2 miles less than its length, and whose area is 80 square miles?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For this type of question, it helps to draw the rectangle and label its sides. Label the length x. We are given that the width is 5 miles less than the length, which can be represented algebraically as x-5. So, if y = width, then we have y = x-5.

We are also given that the area is 84 square miles, so how do we find the area of a rectangle? The formula is Area = length * width. Substituting in what we know, we get 84 = x(x-5). We distribute on the right hand side to get 84 = x^2-5x, which is equivalent to x^2-5x-84=0. This can be factored as (x-12)(x+7)=84. The solutions are x=12 or x=-7, but we ignore x=-7 because we cannot have negative length. Thus, the length of the rectangle is 12 miles and the width is 12-5=7 miles.

Note in step 2, I factored each number in the square root to pull out the largest perfect square factor. From there, I used the rule that [tex]\sqrt{A*B} = \sqrt{A}*\sqrt{B}[/tex] to break up the roots.

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

We first simplify $\sqrt{72}$ and $\sqrt{8}$:\begin{align*}

\sqrt{72} &=\sqrt{36\cdot 2} = \sqrt{36}\cdot \sqrt{2} = 6\sqrt{2},\\

\sqrt{8} &= \sqrt{4\cdot 2} = \sqrt{4}\cdot \sqrt{2} = 2\sqrt{2}.

\end{align*}Then, we have

\[\dfrac{2\sqrt{72}}{\sqrt{8}+\sqrt{2}} = \dfrac{2\left(6\sqrt{2}\right)}{2\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{2}}

= \dfrac{12\sqrt{2}}{3\sqrt{2}} = \dfrac{12}{3}\cdot \dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}} = \boxed{4}.\]

If P(E) = 0.32, then what are the odds against E?

Answers

Answer:

0.68 : 0.32

Step-by-step explanation:

the probability of all the outcomes of an event is always 1 .

if P(E) = 0.32,

P(E') = 1 - 0.32

= 0.68

N.B that P(E') is the same as P( not E ).

since your answer should be given in the ratio form, as the odds against E ( probability not E : probability E),

P(E') : P(E)

0.68 : 0.32

Answers

On solving the provided question, we can say that Cai's thinking expression will be area of the poster k = Ax Bt +Cz => K = x² + lb + 1/2wm

What is Expression?

An expression is combination of variables, numbers and operators.

Cai's thinking expression will be.

The three sections are of different shapes which includes a square, rectangle and a triangle.

The area of square is side times of side= x²

The area of rectangle is length times of breadth (lb)

The area of triangle=1/2length times of breadth(1/2lb)

Area of the poster k = Ax+By+Cz

Ax = x²

Bx = lb

Cz = 1/2wm

K = x² + lb + 1/2wm

Hence, Cai's thinking expression will be area of the poster K = x² + lb +1/2wm

Cisca, 12 years old, is three times as old as Catherine. How old will she be when she's twice as old as Catherine?​

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide 12 by 3 to determine Catherine's age.

[tex]12 \div 3 = 4[/tex]

Catherine is 4 years old when Cisca is 12 years old.

Let's identify when Cisca will be twice as old as Catherine by representing the ages per future years.

Year 1: 13, 5

Year 2: 14, 6

Year 3: 15, 7

Year 4: 16, 8

Year 5: 17, 9

Year 6: 18, 10

In 4 years, Cisca will be twice as old as Catherine.

Her age is 16.

She would be 4 years

Calculation of age

Age of Catherine = X

Age of Cisca = 12yrs = 3x

Therefore X = 12/3= 4 years.

Actual age of Catherine = 4 years.

Twice ( 2x) age of Catherine = 2×4= 8

Therefore, she will be 4 years to be twice as old as Catherine

Using the vertex of a quadratic function, it is found that Phoenix received the highest amount of precipitation on the month of May.

What is the vertex of a quadratic equation?

A quadratic equation is modeled by:

[tex]y = ax^2 + bx + c[/tex]

The vertex is given by:

[tex](x_v, y_v)[/tex]

In which:

[tex]x_v = -\frac{b}{2a}[/tex]

[tex]y_v = -\frac{b^2 - 4ac}{4a}[/tex]

Considering the coefficient a, we have that:

If a < 0, the vertex is a maximum point.If a > 0, the vertex is a minimum point.

In this problem, the precipitation each month x in Phoenix is given by:

[tex]y = -0.04088x^2 + 0.4485x + 1.862[/tex]

Hence the coefficients are a = -0.04088, b = 0.4485, c = 1.862, and the month for which the precipitation will be highest is given by:

[tex]x_v = -\frac{0.4485}{2(-0.04088)} = 5.48[/tex]

Hence during the month of May.

Answer: Choice C

x < 6

This is because there is an open hole at 6, meaning we exclude it from the solution set. Stuff to the left of 6 (ie smaller than 6) is shaded, which is why we go for x < 6

The inequality represented in the given graph is x < 6.

Given is a number line where an inequality is marked.

We have to find the inequality which represents in the number line given.

Here, a graph or a number line where the numbers are marked from 1 to 9 is drawn.

A blue line is drawn prior to the number 6. So the inequality sign is "<".

An open circle is over the number 6. So 6 is not included in the inequality.

So, the required inequality is x < 6.

The correct option is C. x < 6.

the graph of the function f(x)=mx+b contains the points (-1,3) and (-2,4) find m and b

Answers

Answer:

m = -1; b = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

the first step in solving this equation is to find the slope

so we use the equation (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

so with this the equation is

(4 - 3)/(-2 + 1)

then it would be 1/-1

that is -1

so the function so far is f(x) = -x + b

to find the b you would plug in the coordinates

we can plug in the first set

3 = 1 + b

b = 2

so the m is -1 and the b is 2

Solve each equation for y. Then find the value of y for each value of x.
