The area of a rectangular piece of cardboard is represented by
the equation w(2w + 3) = 9 where w is the width of the
cardboard in feet. Find the width.

Answers

Answer 1

This question is solved applying the formula of the area of the rectangle, and finding it's width. To do this, we solve a quadratic equation, and we get that the cardboard has a width of 1.5 feet.

Area of a rectangle:

The area of rectangle of length l and width w is given by:

[tex]A = wl[/tex]

w(2w + 3) = 9

From this, we get that:

[tex]l = 2w + 3, A = 9[/tex]

Solving a quadratic equation:

Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:

[tex]ax^{2} + bx + c, a\neq0[/tex].

This polynomial has roots [tex]x_{1}, x_{2}[/tex] such that [tex]ax^{2} + bx + c = a(x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2})[/tex], given by the following formulas:

[tex]x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\Delta}}{2*a}[/tex]

[tex]x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\Delta}}{2*a}[/tex]

[tex]\Delta = b^{2} - 4ac[/tex]

In this question:

[tex]w(2w+3) = 9[/tex]

[tex]2w^2 + 3w - 9 = 0[/tex]

Thus a quadratic equation with [tex]a = 2, b = 3, c = -9[/tex]

Then

[tex]\Delta = 3^2 - 4(2)(-9) = 81[/tex]

[tex]w_{1} = \frac{-3 + \sqrt{81}}{2*2} = 1.5[/tex]

[tex]w_{2} = \frac{-3 - \sqrt{81}}{2*2} = -3[/tex]

Width is a positive measure, thus, the width of the cardboard is of 1.5 feet.

Answer:

50 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem we will use the Pythagorean theorem which is: a^2+b^2= c^2

I found the length for both of the legs on this triangle which are: 30 ft (for the side on the far left) and 40ft (for the other leg of the triangle whose hypotenuse is the walkway).

Now that we know the two legs we can use the Pythagorean theorem:

40^2 + 30^2 = 2500

then take the square root of 2500 in order to find the hypotenuse length:

Square root of 2500= 50ft

Riley wants to buy a car and has a choice between two different banks. One bank is offering a simple interest rate of 4.5% and the other bank is offering a rate of 4.5% compounded annually. Which is the better deal?

Answers

the bank that offers compound interest should get Riley more money.

let's assume he puts 10,000 in each account, and he is saving for 10 years.

the account that gives him simple interest will give him .045 * 10,000 * 10 = 4500 in interest, which gives him a total of 14,500 at the end of 10 years.

the account that gives him annual compound interest will give him 10,000 * 1.045 ^ 10 = 15,529.69422 at the end of the 10 years.

the difference is that he is earning interest on his interest in the annual compound account, while he is only earning interest on his principal in the simple interest account.

Hope this helps. Good luck !!

In the HANES5 sample, the average height of the boys was 137 cm at age 9 and 151 cm at age 11. At age 11, the average height of all the children was 151 cm.

b)  [tex]h_{10}=144cm[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Average height of the boys at age [tex]h_9= 137 cm[/tex]

Average height of the boys at age [tex]h_11= 151 cm[/tex]

a)

Since

An efficiency expert is doing a study of a certain fast food restaurant. She observes that a particularly clumsy waiter drops 30% of all the hamburgers that he serves. What is the probability that he will drop exactly four of the next ten?

Answers

Answer:

Hello,

I don't know the words used for that binominal exercice.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that the waiter will drop exactly four of the next ten is 0.2

What is probability?

Probability is the extent to which an event is likely to occur, measured by the ratio of the favorable cases to the whole number of cases.

Now it is given that,

Waiter drops hamburgers = 30%

Therefore, Probability of drop, p = 0.3

Now For the next ten,

⇒ number of trials, n = 10

⇒ q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.3

⇒ q = 0.7

Thus, probability that he will drop exactly four of the next ten,

P(x = x) = nCx * p^x * q^(n-x)

For exactly 4, x = 4

⇒ P(x = 4) = ¹⁰C₄ * 0.3^4 * 0.7^(10 - 4)

⇒ P(x = 4) = 210*0.0081*0.1176

⇒ P(x = 4) = 0.2

Thus, the probability that the waiter will drop exactly four of the next ten is 0.2

Oil leaked from a tank at a rate of r(t) liters per hour. The rate decreased as time passed, and values of the rate at two hour time intervals are shown in the table. Find lower and upper estimates for the total amount of oil that leaked out.

t (h) 0 2 4 6 8 10
r(t) (L/h) 8.8 7.6 6.8 6.2 5.7 5.3

V=_____ upper estimate
V= ______lower estimate

Answers

The exact amount of oil that leaks out for 0 ≤ t ≤ 10 is given by the integral,

[tex]\displaystyle\int_0^{10}r(t)\,\mathrm dt[/tex]

Then the upper and lower estimates of this integral correspond to the upper and lower Riemann/Darboux sums. Since r(t) is said to be decreasing, this means that the upper estimate corresponds to the left-endpoint Riemann sum, while the lower estimate would correspond to the right-endpoint sum.

So you have

upper estimate:

(8.8 L/h) (2 h - 0 h) + (7.6 L/h) (4 h - 2h) + (6.8 L/h) (6 h - 4h) + (6.2 L/h) (8 h - 6h) + (5.7 L/h) (10 h - 8 h)

= (2 h) (8.8 + 7.6 + 6.8 + 6.2 + 5.7) L/h)

= 70.2 L

• lower estimate:

(7.6 L/h) (2 h - 0 h) + (6.8 L/h) (4 h - 2h) + (6.2 L/h) (6 h - 4h) + (5.7 L/h) (8 h - 6h) + (5.3 L/h) (10 h - 8 h)

= (2 h) (7.6 + 6.8 + 6.2 + 5.7 + 5.3) L/h)

= 63.2 L

What is the surface area of the composite figure?

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  382 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The side facing is a trapezoid with bases 8 and 14 cm, and height 7 cm. Its area is ...

  A = 1/2(b1 +b2)h

  A = (1/2)(8 +14)(7) = 77 . . . . cm²

The perimeter of the face is ...

  7 cm + 8 cm + 9 cm + 14 cm = 38 cm

The total surface area is the sum of the lateral area and the base area.

  SA = LA + BA

  SA = (38 cm)(6 cm) + 2×(77 cm²) = 228 cm² + 154 cm²

  SA = 382 cm²

The surface area of the composite figure is 382 square centimeters.

_____

Additional comment

The lateral area is the width of a rectangular face (6 cm) times the total of all of the lengths of those faces. That total is the perimeter of the trapezoidal base (38 cm).

There are two trapezoidal bases that contribute area. The first calculation figured the area of one of them.

The speed of 22100 feet per second will be 15068.18 miles per hour.

What is unit conversion?

Multiplication or division by a numerical factor, selection of the correct number of significant figures, and unit conversion are all steps in a multi-step procedure.

Unit conversion is the expression of the same property in a different unit of measurement. Time, for example, can be expressed in minutes rather than hours, and distance can be converted from miles to kilometres, feet, or any other length measurement.

Given that the speed of the satellite is 22100 feet per second. The speed in miles per hour will be calculated as,

22100 ft /s = ( 22100 x 3600 ) / 5280

22100 ft/s = 79560000 / 5280

22100 ft/s = 15068.18 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Path is changing according to the function [tex]f(x)=0.03(10x-x^2)[/tex]

Rate of change of the elevation is given by the derivative of the function

[tex]\Rightarrow f'(x)=0.03(10-2x)[/tex]

At [tex]x=1\ f'(x) \ \text{is}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow f'(x=1)=0.03(10-2\times 1)\\\Rightarrow f'(x=1)=0.03(8)\\\Rightarrow f'(x=1)=0.24\ \text{miles per sec}[/tex]

Using derivatives, it is found that the rate of change of elevation at x = 1 is of 0.24.

What is the rate of change of a function f(x)?The rate of change of a function f(x) at x = a is given by:

[tex]f^{\prime}(a)[/tex]

In this problem, the function is:

[tex]f(x) = 0.03(10x - x^2)[/tex]

Hence:

[tex]f^{\prime}(x) = 0.3 - 0.06x[/tex]

At x = 1:

[tex]f^{\prime}(1) = 0.3 - 0.06(1) = 0.24[/tex]

A ladder leans against the side of the a house. The ladder is 19 feet long and forms an angle of elevation of 75 degree when leaned against the house. How far away from the house is the ladder? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer:   4.9

=============================================================

Explanation:

Focus entirely on the triangle on the right side. The other parts of the drawing are not necessary. In my opinion, they are distracting filler.

Refer to the diagram below.

We have an unknown adjacent side, let's call it x, that's along the horizontal part of the triangle.

The hypotenuse however is known and it is 19 ft

We use the cosine ratio to tie the two sides together

cos(angle) = adjacent/hypotenuse

cos(75) = x/19

19*cos(75) = x

x = 19*cos(75)

x = 4.9175618569479 which is approximate

x = 4.9

The base of the ladder is roughly 4.9 feet away from the base of the house.
