Sergei buys a rectangular rug for his living room. He measures the diagonal of the rug to be 18 feet. The length of the rug is 3 feet longer than the width. What are the approximate dimensions of the rug? Round each dimension to the nearest tenth of a foot. 10. 4 feet by 7. 4 feet 11. 1 feet by 8. 1 feet 13. 4 feet by 10. 4 feet 14. 1 feet by 11. 1 feet.

Answers

Answer 1

A rectangular rug divided by its diagonal becomes a right angle triangle

The length and width of the rug is 14.1 feet by 11.1 feet

A right angle triangle has the longest side as the hypotenus which is also the diagonal.

Diagonal = 18 feet

width = x

length = x + 3

diagonal ² = length ² + width ²

18² = x² + (x + 3)²

18² = x² + x² + 6x + 9

324 = 2x² + 6x + 9

2x² + 6x + 9 - 324 = 0

2x² + 6x - 315 = 0

solve using quadratic formula

x = - b ± √b² - 4ac / 2a

= - 6 ± √6² - 4×2×-315 / 2×2

= -6 ± √36 - (-2520) / 4

= -6 ± √36 + 2520/4

= -6 ± √2556 / 4

= - 6 ± 6√71 / 4

= -6/4 ± 6√71 / 4

= -3/2 ± 3√71/2

x = 11.1392 or -14.1392

The value of x can't be negative

So,

x = 11.1 to the nearest tenth

Therefore, the value of width and length is

width = x

= 11.1 feet

length = x + 3

= 11.1 + 3

= 14.1 feet

Let y = cos⁻¹(x), so that cos(y) = x.

For some angle y between 0 and π, cos(y) takes on some value between -1 and 1.

For the y in this range, we have cos(y) = -1/2 exactly when y = 2π/3.

Then

tan(cos⁻¹(-1/2)) = tan(2π/3) = sin(2π/3)/cos(2π/3) = (√3/2)/(-1/2) = -√3

A biologist observed a population of bacteria that grew at a rate expressed by the exponential equation

f(t)=256e(0.0611t)

where t is in minutes. How long will it take the population to reach 5 times its initial value?

Answers

Answer: 26.34

Step-by-step explanation:

The bacteria will take 26.3409 minutes.

What is Exponential Equations?

Exponents are used in exponential equations, as the name suggests. We are aware that a number's exponent (or base) tells us how many times the original number has been multiplied. But what occurs if a number's power is a variable? An exponential equation is one in which the power is a variable and a part of the equation.

Given f(t) = 256[tex]e^{0.0611t}[/tex]

initial condition when t = 0

f(0) = 256

to find the time when population reach 5 times its initial value

= 256 x 5 = 1280

f(t) = 1280,

to calculate t

1280 = 256[tex]e^{0.0611t}[/tex]

[tex]e^{0.0611t}[/tex] = 5

0.0611t = ln(5)

0.0611t = 1.60943

t = 1.60943/0.0611

t = 26.3409 minutes.

Hence Bacteria will take 26.3409 minutes to reach 5 times.

What is the solution to this system of equations?

x − 2y = 15
2x + 4y = -18

A. x = 1, y = -6
B. x = 1, y = -7
C. x = 3, y = -6
D. x = 3, y = -7

Answers

Answer:

  C.  x = 3, y = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

You can divide the second equation by 2. Then you have ...

  x +2y = -9

This gives you a couple of choices for solution. The x-coefficients match, so subtracting one equation from the other eliminates x:

  (x +2y) -(x -2y) = (-9) -(15)

 4y = -24   ⇒   y = -6

Adding the two equations eliminates y:

  (x -2y) +(x +2y) = (15) +(-9)

  2x = 6   ⇒   x = 3

The solution is (x, y) = (3, -6).

Which is the better deal? $39.55 for 7 pairs of jeans OR $22.48 for 4 pairs of jeans

Answers

Answer:

$22.48 for 4 pairs of jeans is a better deal.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the price of one pair of jeans, you divide.

39.55 ÷ 7 = price of 1 pair of jeans

39.55 ÷ 7 = $5.65

22.48 ÷ 4 = price of 1 pair of jeans

22.48 ÷ 4 = $5.62

The price difference between the two prices is 3 cents. So, $22.48 for 4 pairs is a better deal that $39.55 for 7 pairs of jeans.

What is the midpoint of a line segment?

A midpoint of a line segment is the point on a segment that bisects the segment into two congruent segments.

The formula to find the midpoint of line segment is (x, y) = [(x₁+x₂)/2, (y₁+y₂)/2]

From the graph, the coordinate points of ends of line segment are (2, 3) and (10,3).

Here, midpoint = [(2+10)/2, (3+3)/2]

= (6, 3)
