2. The width of a rectangle is 5 units less than the length. If the area is 150 square units, then find the dimensions of the rectangle

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex] \boxed{Dimensions\: of \: the \: rectangle \: are \: 15 \: and \: 10 units} [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of rectangle be 'x' units

So, width of rectangle will be = x - 5 units

Area of rectangle = 150 square units

[tex]=> Area \: of \: rectangle = length × breadth \\ \\ = > 150 = x \times (x - 5) \\ \\ = > 150 =( x \times x )- (x \times 5) \\ \\ = > 150 = {x}^{2} - 5x \\ \\ = > 0 = {x}^{2} - 5x - 150 \\ \\ = > {x}^{2} - 5x - 150 = 0 \\ \\ = > {x}^{2} - (15 - 10)x - 150 = 0 \\ \\ = > {x}^{2} - 15x + 10x - 150 = 0 \\ \\ = > x(x - 15) + 10(x - 15) = 0 \\ \\ = > (x - 15)(x + 10) = 0 \\ \\ = > x - 15 = 0 \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: or \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: x + 10 = 0 \\ \\ = > x = 15 \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: or \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: x = - 10[/tex]

Dimension cannot be negative so the value of x is 15

Therefore,

Length of rectangle = 15 units

Width of rectangle = 15 - 5 = 10 units

-when the company spends 1 hour to clean floors and 4 hours to clean the rest of a house,the total is $87

Which ordered pair represents the hourly charges to clean floor and to clean the rest of the house?

A.(12,20)
B.(15,18)
C.(20,12)
D.(18,15)

Answers

Answer:

(15,18)

Step-by-step explanation:

write two equations with the information provided.

2x + 3y = 84

x + 4y = 87

use the property of substitution to answer.

x + 4y = 87,   x = 87 - 4y

2(87 - 4y) + 3y = 84

174 - 8y + 3y = 84

174 - 84 = 8y - 3y

90 = 5y

90/5 = y

y = 18

Add the value of Y to an original equation. Solve for X

2x + 3(18) = 84

2x + 54 = 84

2x = 84 - 54

2x = 30

x = 30/2

x = 15

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Mr. Anderson drove 168 miles in 3 1/2 hours: d1 = 168 mi  

t1 = 3 1/2 hr

t1 = 3.5 hr

v1 = the first rate

v1 = d1/t1

v1 = 168/3.5

v1 = 48 mph

He then drove 2 1/4 hours at a rate of 5 miles an hour faster than the first rate:

t2 = 2 1/4 hr

t2 = 2.25 hr

v2 = v1 + 5

v2 = 48 + 5

v2 = 53 mph

d2 = the distance

d2 = v2*t2

d2 = 53*2.25

d2 = 119.25 mi

during the total time 3 1/2 + 2 1/4 = 5 3/4 hr Mr. Anderson drove:

d1 + d2 = 168 + 119.25 = 287.25 mi.

Prove that for any natural n the number 3^(n+4)−3^n is divisible by 16.

Answers

Answer:

Proved (See Explanation)

Step-by-step explanation:

Show that 3ⁿ⁺⁴ - 3ⁿ is divisible by 16.

This is done as follows

[tex]\frac{3^{n+4} - 3^n}{16}[/tex]

From laws of indices;

aᵐ⁺ⁿ = aᵐ * aⁿ.

So, 3ⁿ⁺⁴ can be written as 3ⁿ * 3⁴.

[tex]\frac{3^{n+4} - 3^n}{16}[/tex] becomes

[tex]\frac{3^n * 3^4 - 3^n}{16}[/tex]

Factorize

[tex]\frac{3^n(3^4 - 1)}{16}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{3^n(81 - 1)}{16}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{3^n(80)}{16}[/tex]

3ⁿ * 5

5(3ⁿ)

The expression can not be further simplified.

However, we can conclude that when 3ⁿ⁺⁴ - 3ⁿ is divisible by 16, because 5(3ⁿ) is a natural whole number as long as n is a natural whole number.

Which of the following is most affected by the lower score?

A.) the mean and median
B.) the median
C.) the mean
D.) the mode​

Answers

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean of a set of values is the average of all of them. The median is just the center most value when you arrange the values in order from least to greatest, or the average of the most central two if there is an even number of values. The mode is simply the value that shows up the most. The single, low outlier does not affect the median and mode almost at all, and only has a large influence on the mean, since it brings down the average. Therefore, the correct answer is choice C. Hope this helps!

Answer:

The mean... the median is in the middle, it won't change, the mode is the most repetitive number and it won't change neither... so the mean will be the most affected.

2+4(n-1) is the equation.

Test this out with the fifth term.

t₅ = 2 + 4(n-1) = 2 + 4*4 = 2+16 = 18

Test it out with the first term, too.

t₁ = 2 + 4(n-1) = 2 + 4(0) = 2

If you follow the same pattern with part b, you find that the equation is

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

The price of ant farm =  $ 12

The sales tax on the  price = 7%

Noe, 7% of $12 =

⇒The tax amount on the price = $0.84

Show that if x, y, z are integers such that x^3+5y^3 = 25z^3, then x = y = 0.

Answers

Answer:

3125*k^9 + y^3 is an integer my closure property.

 but 5^(1/3) is not an integer, which forces z to be irrational.

Note that there is no way an integer value can rationalize 5^(1/3)

Step-by-step explanation:

x^3 = 25z^3 - 5y^3

x^3 = 5 ( 5z^3 - y^3)

x  =  (5 ( 5z^3 - y^3) )^(1/3) must be an integer

  = 5^(1/3) * (5z^3 - y^3)^(1/3)

Then  (5z^3 - y^3)^(1/3) = 25*k^3 for some integer k

 5z^3 - y^3 = 15625*k^9

 5z^3 = 15625*k^9 + y^3

  z^3 = 3125*k^9 + (1/5)*y^3

z =  ( 3125*k^9 + (1/5)*y^3 )^ ( 1/3)

a sector with a radius of 15 cm has a central angle measure of 8π/5 what is the area of the sector

Answers

Answer:

area of the sector = 360π cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the area of the sector, we will follow the steps below;

First write down the formula for calculating the area of a sector.

If angle Ф is measured in degree, then

area of sector = Ф/360   × πr²

but if angle Ф is measured in radians, then

area of sector = 1/2 × r² × Ф

In this case the angle is measured in radiance, hence we will use the second formula

From the question given, radius = 15 cm  and angle Ф = 8π/5

area of sector = 1/2 × r² × Ф  

                         =1/2 × 15² ×  8π/5

                         =1/2 ×225 × 8π/5

                          =360π cm²

area of the sector = 360π cm²

factory makes car batteries. The probability that a battery is defective is 1/14. If 400 batteries are tested, about how many are expected to be defective?
A) 14
B) 371
C) 29
D)35

Answers

Since it is 1 out of 14, take 400 and divide it by 14 (400/14) which would give 28.57142857... . So round to the nearest whole number = 29. SO THE ANSWER IS “C, 29”

The required number of defective batteries is 29 out of 400 batteries tested. Option C. is correct.

The probability that a battery is defective is 1/14. The probability that a battery is defective is 1/14. If 400 batteries are tested, how many are expected to be defective s to be determined?

What is probability?

Probability can be defined as the ratio of favorable outcomes to the total number of events. it can be denoted as,
Probability = number of favorable outcomes / total sample space


The probability that a battery is defective given by,
P(D) = 1/14 = 0.072 or 7.2%
400 batteries are tested while multiplying the defective percentage to the number of batteries it gives the defective number of batteries


Number of defective batteries,
= 400 * 7.2%
= 400 * 7.2/100
=≈ 29

Thus, the required number of defective batteries is 29 out of 400 batteries tested. Option C. is correct.
