A rectangular turtle aquarium is 6 ft long by 4 ft wide. The aquarium is enlarged by increasing
the length and width by an equal amount in order to double its area. What are the dimensions of
the new aquarium?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

8ft x 6ft

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we want to create measurements of length and width that double our current area.  First we need to find the current area.

C_Length = 6 ft

C_Width = 4 ft

C_Area = C_Length * C_Width

C_Area = 6 ft * 4 ft = 24 ft^2

Now we want our new area to be double the old area.

N_Area = 2C_Area

N_Area = 2 * 24 ft^2

N_Area = 48 ft^2

Now we simply need to find the increase in width and length, distributed equally, that will create the new area.

N_Area = (C_Length + x) * (C_Width + x)

Where x is the amount that each variable is increased by to create the new area.

Now we simply solve for x.

N_Area = (C_Length + x) * (C_Width + x)

48 = (6 + x) * (4 + x)

48 = 24 + 10x + x^2

0 = -24 + 10x + x^2

Now we can either apply the quadratic formula or attempt to factor using the constant break down method.

(x + 12) (x - 2) = 0

x = -12; x = 2

Note that we will choose x = 2 since the other option would require us to have negative material, which is impossible.

Now we can check to validate our answer by plugging in the value of x.

48 ?= (6 + 2) * (4 + 2)

48 ?= (8) * (6)

48 == 48

Thus, we have found the dimensions of the new aquarium, 8ft x 6ft.

Cheers.

For the transformation T, write the T-1. T: (x, y) ( 2x, y + 5) T -1 (x, y) (x - 2, y - 5) (2x - 1, y + 4) (½x, y - 5)

Answers

Answer: Third choice(½x, y - 5)

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

Explanation:

The original transformation (2x, y+5) takes any x value and doubles it. So the inverse of this is to cut the x value in half. We can say x/2 since division is the opposite of multiplication. The value x/2 is the same as ½x

For the y coordinate, we add on 5 for the original transformation. Subtraction undoes addition meaning the inverse will have y-5.

Side note: the inverse notation [tex]T^{-1}[/tex] can be written as T^(-1).

x = y + 4

A: (11/2, 1/2)
B: (21/2, 11/2)
C: (5, 1)
D: (1, 5)

Answers

Answer:

(5, 1) (Answer C)

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that the second equation features x as a function of y:  x = y + 4.  We can substitute y + 4 for x in the first equation, obtaining:

y + 4 + y = 6

and then, after we combine like terms,

2y = 2, or y = 1.

x = y + 4, subbing 1 for y here results in x = 1 + 4, or x = 5

The solution is (5, 1) (Answer C)

A pool contains 50 gallons of water and is filling at a rate of 2.3 gallons per minute. A second pool contains 102.2 gallons of water and is draining at a rate of 3.5 gallons per minute. After how many minutes will the pools contain the same amount of water?

Answers

At time t, the first pool contains 50+2.3t gal of water, while the second pool contains 102.2-3.5t gal.

They contain the same amount of water when these quantities are equal:

50 + 2.3t = 102.2 - 3.5t

5.8t = 52.2

t = 9

so the pools have the same amount of water after 9 min have passed.

The pools will contain same amount of water in 9 minutes

Let the number of minutes that the pools contain the same amount of water be represented by t.

Since the first pool contains 50 gallons of water and is filling at a rate of 2.3 gallons per minute, then this will be:

= 50 + (2.3 × t)

= 50 + 2.3t ......... equation i

The second pool contains 102.2 gallons of water and is draining at a rate of 3.5 gallons per minute. This will be:

= 102.2 - (3.5 × t)

= 102.2 - 3.5t ........ equation ii

Equate both equations and this will be:

50 + 2.3t = 102.2 - 3.5t

Collect like terms

2.3t + 3.5t = 102.2 - 50

5.8t = 52.2

Divide both side by 5.8

5.8t/5.8 = 52.2/5.8

t = 9

In conclusion, they'll have same amount of water in 9 minutes

Which of the following correctly classifies the number -5 to all of the number sets in which it belongs?

Answers

Answer: Choice C) Real, Rational

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

Explanation:

Any number you'll encounter so far in your math course will be a real number. This is until you get to something like [tex]\sqrt{-1}[/tex] which is a complex number, but your teacher may not have covered that chapter yet.

Anyways, -5 is a real number because we aren't taking the square root of a negative or anything like that.

-5 is also an integer, but that choice isn't listed. The set of integers is any positive or negative whole numbers, including 0 as well.

Furthermore, -5 is considered rational because -5 = -5/1. We can write -5 as a fraction of two integers where 0 is not in the denominator. With -5 being rational, it cannot be irrational. The term "irrational" means "not rational".

2. The question states that AB and CD are parallel. Since we know EP is intersecting AB and CD, we can say that EP is perpendicular to CD as well because of a theorem that states, "...that if there are two parallel lines in the same plane and there is a line perpendicular to one of them, then it is also perpendicular to the other one."

3. So because of that theroem, we can add another 4 right angles from the intersection of EP and CD.

how do i do this and what’s the answer????

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is z = -6.

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3 (2z + 6) = 1/4 (z - 2)

The first step I am going to take is to multiply both sides of the equation by 12 (the least common multiple of 3 and 4).  This will eliminate the fractions on both sides of the equations and make the numbers much easier to work with.

4 (2z + 6) = 3 (z - 2)

Next, we can use the distributive property to eliminate the parentheses.  This means multiplying each term inside the parentheses by the coefficient on the outside of the parentheses.

8z + 24 = 3z - 6

Now, we can subtract 3z from both sides of the equation.

5z + 24 = - 6

Next, we should subtract 24 from both sides of the equation.

5z = -30

Finally, we can divide both sides of the equation by 5.

z = -6

Therefore, the correct answer is z = -6.

Hope this helps!
