The length of a rectangle is 13 meters more than its width. The area of the rectangle is 48 square meters. Determine the length and width of the rectangle. (solve algebraically)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: The length is 16 meters and the width is 3 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know the length and w, we will represent the length by l and the width by w.

We know the length is 13 more than the width so we will represent it by the equation   l =  w + 13  .

The width will be represented by w.

We know the area of a rectangle is the length being multiplied by the width.

Since we know the area, multiply the length by the width and set it equal the area and solve for w.

w(w+ 13) = 48     Multiply on the left side

w^2 + 13w = 48       subtract 48 from both sides

         -48      -48

w^2 + 13w - 48 = 0  Now find two numbers that their product is -48 and their                                sum 13.

The numbers 16 and -3 works, because 16* -3 = -48  and  16 + (-3) = 13.

Rewrite the whole equation in this form.

w^2 + 16w -3w - 48 = 0  Now factor on the left side.

w(w + 16) -3(w+16) = 0      Factor out w+16

(w+16)( w-3) = 0   Now set each of the expressions to equal to 0 and solve for w.

w+ 16 = 0     or   w-3 = 0

  -16     -16              +3  +3

w = -16      or          w = 3

-16 can't be use to represent distance so w has to equal 3 and this means the width is 3.

The length is 13 meters more than the width so 3 + 13 will be the width.

l = 3 + 13

l = 16

Which expression would be easier to simplify if you used the commutative property to change the order of the numbers? A. 30+(-12)+70 B. -10 +(-20) + 1/2 C. 60+40+(-25)

Answers

Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, some that we always try to do in math is to look for "nice" numbers.

The nice numbers are numbers that are easy to work with.

Examples of these are numbers like 10, 100, etc.

suppose the next example:

9 + 3 + 1 + 7

That may seem a long addition, but we can rearange the numbers in such a way to get:

(9 + 1) + ( 3 + 7) = 10 + 10 = 20

This is specially useful when doing mental calculus.

In the given options, we have:

A) 30 + (-12) + 70

Doing it straightforward, we must:

Subtract 12 from 30, which will give us a not nice number.

30 - 12 = 18

And now add 70 to that:

18 + 70 = 88.

Now, we could use the commutative properety and get:

30 + (-12) + 70 = 30 + 70 + (-12)

in this way, in the first addition we get to 100, and then we subtract 12 units.

(30 + 70) + (-12) = 100 - 12 = 88.

Then the correct option is A.

Find the zero of the function f(x)=4x^2-12x+9

Answers

Answer:

x = [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = 4x² - 12x + 9

To obtain the zero let f(x) = 0 , that is

4x² - 12x + 9 = 0 ← in standard form

(2x - 3)² = 0 ← in factored form , then

2x - 3 = 0 ⇒ 2x = 3 ⇒ x = [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]

The zero of the function f (x) = 4x² - 12x + 9 will be 3/2.

What is Quadratic polynomial?

A polynomial which has highest power 2 is called a quadratic polynomial.

Given that;

The function is;

f (x) = 4x² - 12x + 9

Now, To find zero of the function we equate the function to zero.

We get;

f (x) = 4x² - 12x + 9

4x² - 12x + 9 = 0

Solve the function by quadratic formula we get;

x = - (-12) ± √12² - 4 × 4 × 9 / 2 × 4

x = 12 ± √144 - 144 / 8

x = 12 ± 0 / 8

x = 12/8

x = 3/2

Thus, The zero of the function f (x) = 4x² - 12x + 9 will be 3/2.

A hotel has 30 floors with 40 rooms per floor. The rooms on one side of the hotel face the water, while rooms on the other side face a golf course. There is an extra charge for the rooms with a water view. The hotel manager wants to select 120 rooms and survey the registered guest in each of the selected rooms about his or her overall satisfaction with the property. The manager gets an SRS of rooms on the first floor with a water view and another SRS of rooms on the 30th floor with a golf course view. What type of sample was obtained

Answers

Answer: Stratified Random Sample

Step-by-step explanation: The type of sampling exemplified by the manager's selection is Stratified Random Sampling whereby the entire population (guests in the hotel) are divided into subpopulation(independent subgroups) called strata; those with rooms facing the golf course and those facing the water view. The sample this have two strata based on the view in which the rooms are facing. Taking a simple random samples from each sub group of the entire population may lead to less bias since the customers may experience different level of satisfaction based on this condition.

The type of sample was obtained when manager gets an SRS of rooms on the first floor with a water view and another SRS of rooms on the 30th floor with a golf course view is Cluster sampling.

What is sampling?

Sampling is a process used in statistical analysis in which a predetermined number of observations are taken from a larger population.

Now here, the manager wants to select 120 rooms and survey the registered guest in each of the selected rooms about his or her overall satisfaction with the property.

So, here cluster sampling would be preferred because there are 30 floors and they can be classified as clusters and surveyed per floor.

The half-life of cesium-137 is 30 years. Suppose we have a 170-mg sample. What is the rate of decay after 150 years? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

5.313mg

Step-by-step explanation:

The half-life of cesium-137 is 30 years. Suppose we have a 170-mg sample. What is the rate of decay after 150 years? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

Half life formula

= N(t) = No(1/2)^t/t½

N(t) = Amount after t years

No = Initial amount

t = time

t½ = half life

N(t) = 170 (1/2) ^150/30

N(t) = 170 × (1/2)^5

N(t) = 5.3125mg

Approximately the quantity left after t years = 5.313mg

Answers

Answer:

The value of x is 9°

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

ΔUVW with side UW extended to X

m∠UVW = (3x + 4)°

m∠VWX = (8x -12)°

m∠WUV = (x + 20)°

We have that m∠UVW + m∠WUV  + m∠VWU = 180° (Sum of the interior angles of a triangle theorem)

∴ m∠VWU = 180° - (m∠UVW + m∠WUV)

Also we have that m∠VWX and m∠VWU are supplementary angles, (The sum of angles on a straight line)

∴  m∠VWX + m∠VWU = 180° (Definition of supplementary angles)

m∠VWU = 180° - m∠VWX

∴ m∠VWX = (m∠UVW + m∠WUV)

Substituting the values, gives;

(8x -12)° = (3x + 4)° + (x + 20)°

8x - 3x - x = 4 + 20 + 12

4x = 36

x = 36/4 = 9

x = 9°.

A restaurant built a ramp to make their facility more accessible to people in wheelchairs. They covered the entire surface of the ramp with metal to make it more durable. How much metal did they use to cover the ramp, including the bottom? Give an exact answer (do not round).

Answers

Answer:

3.41 m² of metal would be needed to cover the ramp

Step-by-step explanation:

The ramp has the shape of a triangular prism.

A triangular prism is a prism that has two equal triangles as base connected by three lateral faces.

The surface area of a triangular prism is the sum of the area of its base and lateral faces.

The surface area = 2B + PH

Where B is the area of the base , H is the height of the prism and P is the perimeter of the triangular base

Hence:

B = 0.5 * 1 m * 0.8 m = 0.4 m²

h = 1 m

P = 1 m + 0.8 m + 0.81 m = 2.61 m

Surface area = 2 * 0.4 m² + 2.61 m × 1 m = 3.41 m²

3.41 m² of metal would be needed to cover the ramp

Susan has a collection of 50 nickels and dimes. If the number of nickels is four times the number of dimes, how many nickels and how many dimes does she have?

Answers

Answer:

Susan has:

40 nickels & 10 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

Since she has a total of 50 nickles and dimes I knew that it could be separated into 5 sets of 10. Knowing that 4(10) is equal to 40+10 is equal to 50, I used the 10 for the amount of dimes and used 40 for the amount of nickles. So the nickles (40) are 4 times the dimes (10). We can prove this by multiplying the dimes by 4 (4(10)) and you get 40 and add on the 10 you get the total amount of 50.

I hope this helps:)

There are 40 nickels and 10 Dimes.

What is Equation?

Two or more expressions with an Equal sign is called as Equation.

Let N be the number of nickels

Let D be the number of dimes

Susan has a collection of 50 nickels and dimes.

N + D =50...(1)

Number of nickels is four times the number of dimes

N = 4D    

Substitute N in equation 1

4D+D=50

5D=50

Divide both sides by 5

D=10

Now put D value in equation 1

N+10=50

Subtract 10 from both sides

N=40  

Hence, there are 40 nickels and 10 Dimes.

Answer:

B.) 7x + 7(x+20) =700

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Dave and Steven are 700m apart

They start walking towards each other and meet after 7 minutes

Distance covered by Dave per minute = x

Distance covered by Steven per minute = x + 20

rate = distance per minute

Dave's rate = x / minute

Steven's rate = (x + 20) / minute

Distance = rate * time

Distance covered by DAVE :

X /min * 7 = 7x

Distance covered by STEVEN :

(x + 20) * 7

= 7(x + 20)

Hence, the sum of distances covered by both Dave and Steven should add up to the total distance :

7x + 7(x + 20) = 700

The rate of change for a vertical line is zero.

Answers

Answer:

Not a question, and also incorrect (sorry)

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change for a vertical line is undefined.

The rate of change for a HORIZONTAL line is 0

Theoretically, the rate of change for a vertical line is not zero it is undefined.

What is the average rate of change?

It is the average amount by which the function changed per unit throughout that time period. It is calculated using the slope of the line linking the interval's ends on the graph of the function.

Zero rates of change refer to a quantity that does not fluctuate over time.

But bear in mind these two separate circumstances: Horizontal lines have a slope of 0 since the vertical change is 0.

As 0 cannot be split into any integer, there is no slope for vertical lines since there is no horizontal change.

Because of this, the rate of change for a vertical line is not zero but rather is unknown.
