Question 6b
6b of 6
The width of a rectangle is 15 centimeters less than its length. If the area of the
rectangle is 100 square centimeters, find the length and the width using the formula
A = lw.
O Length = 25 centimeters and Width = 10 centimeters
○ Length = 20 centimeters and Width = 5 centimeters
O Length = 115 centimeters and Width = 100 centimeters
○ Length = 5 centimeters and Width = 20 centimeters

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

○ Length = 20 centimeters and Width = 5 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length = L

Then the width is L - 15

A = lw

100 = L(L - 15)

L² - 15L - 100 = 0

(L - 20)(L + 5) = 0

L - 20 = 0  or  L + 5 = 0

L = 20  or  L = -5

Since a length of a rectangle cannot be negative, we discard the solution L = -5 and keep the solution L = 20.

L = 20

width = L - 15 = 20 - 15 = 5

Answer:  ○ Length = 20 centimeters and Width = 5 centimeters

A 450-pound circus tiger eats 15 pounds of meat per day. How many pounds of meat would you expect a 360-pound tiger to eat per day? A 450 - pound circus tiger eats 15 pounds of meat per day . How many pounds of meat would you expect a 360 - pound tiger to eat per day ?​

Answers

Hi :)

This kind of question is purely based upon proportionality. We are going to be using the cross product method to assess it.
First-hand, it can always help to write down the information that you do have, and the one that is missing.
Here;

450-pound tiger — > 15 pounds of meat
360-pound tiger — > ?? pounds of meat

The calculation you’ll want to use is the following:
360 x 15 / 450
The answer is 12 pounds.

Therefore, you would expect a 360-pound tiger to eat 12 pounds of meat per day.
I hope this helps! Have a nice day :)

What are polynomials?

Polynomial is an expression that consists of indeterminates(variable) and coefficient, it involves mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, etc, and non-negative integer exponentials.

Given the roots of the polynomial, therefore, the following details can be written as,

The polynomial has a root of multiplicity 2 at x=2, (x-2)²The polynomial has a root of multiplicity 2 at x=0, (x-0)²The polynomial has a root of multiplicity 1 at x=-2, (x+2)¹

Therefore, the polynomial will become,

P(x) = (x-2)²(x-0)²(x+2)¹

      = (x²+4-4x) (x)² (x+2)

       = (x²+4-4x) (x³+2x²)

       = x⁵ + 2x⁴ + 4x³ + 8x² - 4x⁴ -8x³

       = x⁵ - 2x⁴ - 4x³ + 8x²

Hence, the possible formula for P(x) is x⁵ - 2x⁴ - 4x³ + 8x².

Johann is 60 and Chad is 34 years younger. How many years
ago was Johann three times as old as Chad?

Answers

Answer: 6 years ago

Step-by-step explanation: Since Chad is 34 years younger than Johann, Chad is currently 26. 60 divided by 3 (since the question says three times) is 20, and 26 (Chad’s current age) minus 20 is 6. So, 6 years is the correct answer.

Answer:

  21 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of years since Johann was 3 times Chad's age. The given relation can be written as the equation ...

  (60 -x) = 3(34 -x)

__

Solving this, we have ...

  60 -x = 102 -3x . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  2x = 42 . . . . . . . . . add 3x-60

  x = 21 . . . . . . . . .divide by 2

21 years ago, Johann was 3 times as old as Chad.

Additional comments

Their ages then were 39 and 13.

If you recognize the age difference is 60-34 = 26 years, and that J will be 3×C when C's age is half that difference, then you know C was 13 at that time. That was 34-13 = 21 years ago.

The graph of y=x−2−−−−√ is is transformed to become y=x+3−−−−√−2. Which of the following statements best describes the effect this transformation has on the graph of y=x−−√

Answers

Answer:

The graph is translated 5 units left and 2 units down

Step-by-step explanation:

transformation =

initially the equation of graph  [tex]y=\sqrt{x-2} = f(x)[/tex]

after transformation the equation becomes [tex]y = \sqrt{x+3} -2 = g(x)[/tex]

transformation done [tex]f(x) = \sqrt{x-2}[/tex]  → [tex]g(x) = \sqrt{x+3} -2[/tex]

The horizontal shift of graph  

it depends on the value of h. The horizontal shift is described as:

g(x) = f(x + h) - The graph is shifted to the left h units.

g(x) = f(x - h) - The graph is shifted to the right h units.

if h=0,  means that the graph is not shifted to the left or right

the vertical shift of graph

The vertical shift depends on the value of k. The vertical shift is described

as:

g(x) = f(x) +k    - The graph is shifted up k units.

g(x) = f(x)- k     - The graph is shifted down k units.

so here in the question the graph is shifted 5 units left and then 2 units down

you can see the graph of initial equation and transformed equation below.

Use the point–slope formula to write an equation of the line that passes through(-5, -16 )and has a slope of m=3. Write the answer in slope–intercept form (if possible).

Answers

Answer:

Slope-intercept form: y = 3x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a line passes through the point (-5, -16) and has a slope of 3

We want to write the equation in point-slope form, and simplify it to slope-intercept form (if it is possible to do so).

First, point-slope form is given as [tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex], where m is the slope and [tex](x_1, y_1)[/tex] is a point

We have both the slope and a point, but let's label the values of everything to avoid confusion + mistakes:

m = 3

[tex]x_1=-5\\y_1=-16[/tex]

Now substitute into the formula (remember: we have NEGATIVE numbers, and the formula uses SUBTRACTION):

[tex]y--16=3(x--5)[/tex]

The equation can be simplified

[tex]y+16=3(x+5)[/tex]

We can also write this in slope-intercept form

Start by distributing 3 to both x and 5 (multiply both x and 5 by 3)

[tex]y+16=3x + 15[/tex]

Subtract 16 from both sides

y = 3x - 1

a) Students returning to a secondary school have to pass through a check point at the rate of 50 per though. The average time for checking is 35 seconds. The arrival rate and service rate follow a Poisson distribution. There is a delay and the principal is willing to include another check point to reduce the average time of checking to 28 seconds if the idle time is less than 10% and the average queue length is more than 10 students, check whether the introduction of an extra check point is justifiable

Answers

Answer:

175

Step-by-step explanation:

Average queue length = (arrival rate * service time) / (1 - arrival rate * service time)

For the given problem, the average queue length is:

Average queue length = (50 * 35) / (1 - 50 * 35)

7. What is the ratio of the interior angles of a pentagon and a decagon?​

Answers

Answer:

A pentagon has 5 sides.

Sum of the interior angles = ( n - 2) x 180

Sum of the interior angles = ( 5 - 2) x 180

Sum of the interior angles = 540°

STEP 2: Find one interior angle:

one interior angle = 540 ÷ 5 = 108°

STEP 3: Find the sum of interior angles of a decagon

A decagon has 10 sides

Sum of the interior angles = ( n - 2) x 180

Sum of the interior angles = ( 10 - 2) x 180

Sum of the interior angles = 1440°

STEP 4: Find one interior angle:

one interior angle = 1440 ÷ 10 = 144°

STEP 5: Find the ratio:

Pentagon : Decagon = 108 : 144

Simplify:

Pentagon : Decagon = 3 : 4

Answer: The ratio is 3 : 4

the sum of the interior angles of the pentagon is 3 * 180. the sum of the interior angles of the decagon is 8 * 180. the ratio of the sum of the interior angles of a pentagon to the sum of the interior angles of a decagon is (3 * 180) / (8 * 180). this results in 3/8.

Write an expression that can be used to produce vector b from vector a, and explain how you determined that expression.

Answers

Answer:

Expression that can be used to produce vector b from vector a        

=        T× magnitude of vector a × vector 'a'

Step-by-step explanation:

Given question is based on the concept of vectors

Vectors:-  Vectors is a geometric entity that has both magnitude and direction. Vectors have an initial point at the point where they start and a terminal point that tells the final position of the point. Various operations can be applied to vectors such as addition, subtraction, and multiplication

To produce an another vector form a given vector we increase its magnitude only not its direction as we have to produce another vector 'b' with increased magnitude from a given vector 'a'.

its clear from  the question that only the magnitude of  vector a is increased to produce another vector b

hence we multiply any constant ('T') with the magnitude of vector a to increase its magnitude.

and finally multiply the increased magnitude with the vector 'a' itself to get the answer.

so, the final expression that can be used to produce vector b from vector a is =  T× magnitude of vector a × vector 'a'.
