Answer:

Exact dimensions:

width=-1+\sqrt{7}

length=-1+\sqrt{7}+2

length=1+\sqrt{7}

Approximate dimensions:

width=1.64575ft

length=1.64575+2

length=3.64575ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume width of rectangle is w ft

The length of a rectangular flower bed is 2ft longer than the width

so,

length =w+2

L=w+2

now, we can find area

A=L\times W

now, we can plug it

A=(w+2)\times w

A=w^2+2w

we are given area =6

so, we can set it equal

and then we can solve for w

w^2+2w=6

w^2+2w-6=0

we can use quadratic formula

ax^2+bx+c=0

x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

now, we can compare and find a,b and c

a=1 , b=2 , c=-6

w=\frac{-2\pm \sqrt{2^2-4\cdot \:1\left(-6\right)}}{2\cdot \:1}

w=-1+\sqrt{7},\:w=-1-\sqrt{7}

we know that dimension can never be negative

so, we will only consider positive value

Exact dimensions:

width=-1+\sqrt{7}

length=-1+\sqrt{7}+2

length=1+\sqrt{7}

Approximate dimensions:

width=1.64575ft

length=1.64575+2

length=3.64575ft

Decide whether each table could represent a proportional relationship. If the
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If given tables in the picture show the proportional relationship,

Number of wheels (w) ∝ Number of buses (b)

w ∝ b

w = kb

Here, k = proportionality constant

k = \frac{w}{b}

Number of buses (b)           Number wheels (w)             Wheels per bus (\frac{w}{b})

          5                                           30                               \frac{30}{5}=6              

          8                                           48                               \frac{48}{8}=6

         10                                           60                               \frac{60}{10}=6

         15                                           90                               \frac{90}{15}=6

Here, proportionality constant is 6.

Similarly, If number of wheels (w) ∝ Number of train cars (t)

w = kt

Here, k = proportionality constant

k = \frac{w}{t}

Number of train cars(t)          Number of wheels(w)     Wheels per train car (\frac{w}{t})

              20                                        184                           \frac{184}{20}=9.2

              30                                        264                           \frac{264}{30}=8.8

              40                                        344                           \frac{344}{40}=8.6

              50                                        424                           \frac{424}{50}=8.48

Since, ratio of w and t is not constant, relation between number of wheels and number of train cars is not proportional.

4 - t = 3(t-1) - 5<br> A 3<br> B 6<br> C no solution<br> D Identity
Ket [755]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

4 - t = 3(t - 1) - 5 ← distribute and simplify right side

4 - t = 3t - 3 - 5

4 - t = 3t - 8 ( subtract 3t from both sides )

4 - 4t = - 8 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

- 4t = - 12 ( divide both sides by - 4 )

t = 3

Please help me! I'm spending 50 points on this question and my last two questions never even got answered!
Verdich [7]

Answer:

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Domain is only affected if certain values can make the result something that either doesn't make sense or is an error. In your situation, it wants you to find the domain of f/g, which is a fraction. The only rule we have for fractions regarding domain is that we simply can't divide by zero, to find the domain for any fraction with variables in the denominator, what I do is take the denominator, set it equal to 0, and solve for x.

So, if we're taking f/g, we have:

\frac{3x^2 + x^4 + 2}{4x - 3}

4x - 3 makes up our denominator, the bottom part of the fraction. So

4x - 3 = 0

4x = 3

x = 3/4

So the denominator is equal to zero when x is equal to 3/4. This would produce an error in any calculator because you can't divide by zero. The domain here is all real numbers except for 3/4.

(For future problems, the only thing to look out for is if your numerator, the top part of the fraction, factors into something that cancels with the bottom. In that case, it wouldn't affect domain because you aren't actually dividing by anything. For example:

\frac{x^2 - 4}{x-2}

If we factor the top, we see that x^2 - 4 = (x - 2)(x + 2). In this case, we have (x - 2) in both the top and bottom of the fraction, so it cancels out, and from there nothing else is restricting our domain. It would be all real numbers in a case like that.)
