Step-by-step explanation:

Be the sides x[tex]x, x+6[/tex] you know [tex]x(x+6) = 112[/tex] or [tex]x^2 +6x -112 = 0[/tex][tex]x= -3 \pm \sqrt{9+112} = -3\pm 11[/tex] the solution is [tex]x=8, x=-14[/tex] The negative answer is to be discarded, your rectangle has sides 8 and [tex]8+6=14[/tex] miles

Answer 2

The length of the rectangle is 14 miles and the width of the rectangle is 8 miles.

How to find the area and the perimeter of a rectangle?

For a rectangle with length and width L and W units, we get:

Area of the rectangle = (L × W) unit^2

Perimeter of the rectangle = 2(L + W) units

Let the width of the rectangle be represented by W, while the length is represented by L.

Given the width is 6 miles less than its length, therefore, the width can be written as,

W = (L - 6) miles

Now given the area of the rectangle is 112 sq. miles, therefore, the area of the rectangle can be written as,

Area of the rectangle = Length × Width

112 = L × W

112 = L × (L-6)

112 = L²-6L

L = 14, -8

Since the length, L can not be negative, the value of L is 14 miles, therefore, the width will be 8 miles.

Hence, the length of the rectangle is 14 miles and the width of the rectangle is 8 miles.

The sum of two numbers is 57, and their difference is 27. What are the two numbers?

Answers

Answer:

Answer: x = 32, y = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

You can write 2 equations that meet the criteria:

 

The sum of two numbers is 57

x + y = 57

 

The difference is 7

x - y = 7

 

Solve the second equation for x, and substitute in the first equation to solve for y

 

- solve the second equation for x.  

Add y to both sides of the equation

x - y + y = 7 + y

x = 7 + y

 

- substitute x = 7 + y into the first equation

x + y = 57

(7 + y) + y = 57

7 + 2y = 57

Subtract 7 from both sides of the equation

7 - 7 + 2y = 57 - 7

2y = 50

Divide both sides of the equation by 2 to solve for y

y=25

 

Insert y = 25 into either equation and solve for x

x - y = 7

x - 25 = 7

Add 25 to both sides of the equation

x - 25 + 25 = 7 + 25

x = 32

 

Answer: x = 32, y = 25

 

As a check, plug these values into both equations to make sure that it works

Answers

Answer:

98

Step-by-step explanation:

If half the diagonal is 7 yd, then the full diagonal is 14 yd.

If we call the side length s, then using Pythagorean theorem:

c² = a² + b²

(14)² = s² + s²

196 = 2s²

s² = 98

The area of a square is s², so:

A = s²

A = 98

The area is 98 yd².

Answers

ANSWER

Option D is correct

EXPLANATION

We resolve the forces into component forms.

[tex]F_1 = 400 \cos(30) i + 400 \sin(30) j[/tex]

[tex]F_1 = 200 \sqrt{3} i +200j[/tex]

Also the second is resolved to obtain,

[tex]F_2= 280 \cos(135) i + 280 \sin(135) j.[/tex]

[tex]F_2= - 140 \sqrt{2} i + 140 \sqrt{2} j[/tex]

To find the resultant vector, V, We add the corresponding components of the two forces to get:

[tex]V=F_1+F_2 [/tex]

[tex] \implies \: V = (200 \sqrt{3} - 140 \sqrt{2} )i + (200 + 140 \sqrt{2})j[/tex]

b. f(x) = (x – 7)(x – i)(x – 5)(x + i)
c. f(x) = (x – (7 – i))(x – (5 + i))(x – (7 + i))(x – (5 – i))
d. f(x) = (x + (7 – i))(x + (5 + i))(x + (7 + i))(x + (5 – i))

Answers

Answer:

C. [tex]f(x)=(x-(7-i))(x-(5+i))(x-(7+i))(x-(5-i))[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the equation of a polynomial the following properties;

i. Leading coefficient is 1

ii. roots (7 + i) and (5 – i) with multiplicity 1

Recall the complex conjugate properties of the roots of a polynomial.

According to this property, if

[tex]a+bi[/tex] is a root of a polynomial, then the complex conjugate, [tex]a-bi[/tex]  is also a root.

This means that:

(7 - i) and (5 + i) with multiplicity 1 are also roots of this polynomial.

The complete set of roots are:

[tex]x=(7+i),x=(7-i),x=(5-i),x=(5+i)[/tex]

Therefore the polynomial is:

[tex]f(x)=(x-(7-i))(x-(5+i))(x-(7+i))(x-(5-i))[/tex]

The correct choice is C.

Final answer:

The correct polynomial function with roots (7 + i) and (5 – i), each with multiplicity 1 and a leading coefficient of 1, is given by (c) f(x) = (x – (7 + i))(x – (5 – i))(x – (7 - i))(x – (5 + i)).

Explanation:

The question asks which polynomial function has a leading coefficient of 1 and roots (7 + i) and (5 – i) with multiplicity 1. For a polynomial to have these roots, its conjugates, (7 - i) and (5 + i), must also be roots because complex roots always come in conjugate pairs if the polynomial has real coefficients.

This leads us to option (c) as the correct answer. To form a polynomial with these roots, we take each root, turn it into a binomial by subtracting it from x, and then multiply these binomials together.

Doing so for the given roots, we get:

f(x) = (x – (7 + i))(x – (5 – i))(x – (7 - i))(x – (5 + i))

This polynomial matches option (c), confirming it as the correct answer.

An end table costs $69.85 today. If the CPI is 194, what would an end table cost in 1983, to the nearest cent? a. $135.51 b. $124.15 c. $36.00 d. $23.76

Answers

Answer:

$36.00

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost performance index (CPI) is a measure of the financial effectiveness and efficiency of a project. As a ratio it is calculated by dividing the budgeted cost of work completed, or earned value, by the actual cost of the work performed, that is to say:

CPI = Budgeted cost of work / Actual cost of work

From the statement we know that:

CPI = 1.94

Budgeted cost of work= $69.85

Cost of work in 1983 = Budgeted cost of work / CPI

Cost of work in 1983 = $69.85 / 1.94 = $36.00

a. (4,7)
b. (4,207)
c.(-2,4)
d.(-2,0)

Answers

Answer:

d.(-2,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parametric equation is:

[tex]x=4t[/tex]

[tex]y=12t^2+4t-1[/tex]

We make t the subject in the first equation;

[tex]t=\frac{x}{4}[/tex]

We substitute into the second equation to get:

[tex]y=12(\frac{x}{4})^2+4(\frac{x}{4})-1[/tex]

[tex]y=\frac{3}{4}x^2+x-1[/tex]

When x=4 , [tex]y=\frac{3}{4}(4)^2+4-1=15[/tex]

When x=-2 , [tex]y=\frac{3}{4}(-2)^2+-2-1=0[/tex]

Therefore the point (-2,0) lies on the given parametric  curve.

Kenneth brings a partially-filled beaker of red liquid into is his laboratory and uses an apparatus to add drops of blue liquid to the beaker at a constant rate. The equation y = 5x + 15 describes the relationship between the number of minutes (x) since Kenneth began adding drops of blue liquid to the beaker and the total amount of liquid in the beaker (y), in milliliters. Which statement correctly describes a solution of the equation?

Answers

there are two ways you can do

[tex]y = 5x + 15 \\ \\ 1. \: y - 15 = 5x \\ 2. \: \frac{y - 15}{5} = x \\ 3. \: x = \frac{y - 15}{5} \\ \\ \\ 1. \: 5x + 15 = y \\ 2. \: 5x + 15 + - 15 = y + - 15 \\ 5x = y - 15 \\ 3. \: \frac{5x}{5} = \frac{y - 15}{5} \\ x = \frac{1}{5} y - 3[/tex]

Final answer:

A solution of the equation y = 5x + 15 represents a specific moment during Kenneth's experiment, where 'x' is the time elapsed since he started adding the blue liquid, and 'y' is the total volume of the liquid mixture in the beaker.

Explanation:

The equation y = 5x + 15 provided is a linear equation, which is a mathematical expression showing a constant rate of change. In this context, Kenneth's experiment in the laboratory, 'x' is the number of minutes since Kenneth began adding drops of blue liquid to the beaker, and 'y' is the total amount of liquid, in milliliters, in the beaker.

A solution to this equation refers to specific values for 'x' and 'y' which make this equation true. For instance, if we choose x = 1 minute, then we can calculate 'y' by substituting 'x' into the equation which gives y = 5*1 + 15 = 20 mL. This means that after 1 minute, Kenneth has 20 mL of liquid in his beaker. Indeed, every solution to this equation reflects a specific moment (x, or number of minutes) in Kenneth's ongoing experiment and the corresponding total volume (y) of the mixture in the beaker.

use formulas to find the lateral area and surface area of the given prism. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answers

Answer:

Second Option

671 m²; 725 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

The lateral area of a triangular prism is:

[tex]A_L = Ph[/tex]

Where P is the perimeter of the triangular base and h is the height of the prism.

In this case, the perimeter of the triangular base is:

[tex]P = 9 + 6+ 10.82\\\\P = 25.82\ m[/tex]

Then the height is 26 m

Then the lateral area of the prism is:

[tex]A_L = 25.82 * (26)\\\\A_L = 671\ m ^ 2[/tex]

Therefore the surface area of the triangular prism is:

[tex]A = 2A_B + A_L[/tex]

Where [tex]A_B[/tex] is the area of the base.

[tex]A_B = \frac{bh}{2}[/tex]

Where b is the base of the triangle and h is the height

In this case:

[tex]b = 9\ m\\\\h = 6\ m\\\\A_B = \frac{9 * 6}{2}\\\\A_B = 27\ m ^ 2[/tex]

Finally

[tex]A = 2 * 27 + 671\\\\A = 54 + 671\\\\A = 725\ m ^ 2[/tex]

y=3cos⁡2π(x+2) / 2+5

Answers

Answer:

Last option

[tex]y = 3cos(\pi(x+2)) + 5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The general cosine function has the following form  

[tex]y = Acos(b(x-\phi)) + k[/tex]

Where A is the amplitude: half the vertical distance between the highest peak and the lowest peak of the wave.  

[tex]\frac{2\pi}{b}[/tex] is the period: time it takes the wave to complete a cycle.

k is the vertical displacement.

[tex]\phi[/tex] is the shift phase

In this problem :

[tex]A = 3[/tex]

[tex]\frac{2\pi}{b}=2\\\\ b=\frac{2\pi}{2}\\\\ b=\pi[/tex]

[tex]\phi =-2\\\\k = 5[/tex]

C. Approximately $48

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total amount she have to save this year = $ 580,

The number of months in a year = 12,

So, the amount saved by her in each month

[tex]=\frac{\text{Total amount}}{\text{Number of months}}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{580}{12}[/tex]

= $ 48.333333..

≈ $ 48

Hence, OPTION C is correct.

4. About 30% of the U.S. population is under 20 years old. About 17% of the population is over 60, which of the following is the probability that a person chosen at random is under 20 or over 60?

-17%
-53%
-47%
-30%

Answers

A = person is under 20

B = person is over 60

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) ... works because A and B are mutually exclusive

P(A or B) = 0.30 + 0.17

P(A or B) = 0.47 = 47%

The probability that a person chosen at random is under 20 or over 60 is 47% , option C is the correct answer.

What is Probability ?

Probability is a topic in mathematics  where the likeliness of an event is studied.

The range of probability is 0 to 1 .

0 indicates uncertainty to 1 indicating certainty.

It is given in the question that

30% of the U.S. population is under 20 years old

About 17% of the population is over 60

probability that a person chosen at random is under 20 or over 60 = ?

Let P(A) represents person under 20

Let P(B) represents person over 60

As a person is chosen at random and the events cannot happen together so they are mutually exclusive events.

The probability for mutually exclusive event is given by

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B)

P(A) = 17% = 0.17

P(B) = 30% = 0.3

P(A or B) = 0.30 + 0.17

P(A or B) = 0.47 = 47%

Therefore , the probability that a person chosen at random is under 20 or over 60 is 47% , option C is the correct answer.
