If x is the width, and the length is 3 more than twice the width,
the length : 2x+3

Area = length x width

(2x+3)x = 119
By expanding equation, 2 x^{2} +3x = 119
Thus, 2 x^{2} +3x-119=0 
By factorisation, 
(x-7)(2x+17)= 0
x=7 or x= -17/2 (rejected because width cannot be negative)

Thus, the width is 7 and the length is 2(7) +3 = 17

L = 3 + 2w

119 = w × ( 3 + 2w )
119 = 3w + 2w^2
2w^2 + 3w - 119 = 0
( w - 7 ) ( 2w + 11 ) = 0
w = 7
x = w
x = 7

9 - 6 + 4 - 8/3 ..,
geometric series a(n) = a1r^(n-1)

r = a(n+1)/a(n)
-6/9 = -2/3
4/-6 = -2/3
-8/3/4 = -2/3
so r = -2/3 and a1 = 9

Sn = a1(1-r^n)/(1-r) = 9(1-(-2/3)^n)/(1-(-2/3))
n is infinite Sn = 9/(5/3) = 27/5

Evaluate the series 4 – 2 + 1 – 0.5 + 0.25 to S10. Round to the nearest hundredth.
aleksklad [387]
The initial term of this geometric series is 4, and the common ratio is -1/2. The sum is given by

S_{n}=a_{1}\dfrac{r^{n}-1}{r-1}\\\\S_{10}=4\cdot \dfrac{(-\frac{1}{2})^{10}-1}{-\frac{1}{2}-1}=4\cdot \dfrac{(\frac{1}{1024}-1)}{(-\frac{3}{2})}\\\\=\dfrac{8}{3}\cdot \dfrac{1023}{1024}=\dfrac{341}{128}

The sum is approximately 2.66.

A custom rectangular tabletop has a length that is twice it’s width, and the tabletop measures 76 inches on its diagonal. What a
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

<em>The dimensions of the tabletop: Length= 67.976... inches and Width= 33.988... inches and the perimeter will be 203.929... inches.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose, the width of the rectangular tabletop is x inch.

As the tabletop has a length that is twice it’s width, so the length will be:  2x inch.

The tabletop measures 76 inches on its diagonal.

<u>Formula for length of diagonal of rectangle</u>:  d=\sqrt{l^2+w^2}

So, the equation will be..........

76=\sqrt{(2x)^2+ x^2}\\ \\ 76=\sqrt{4x^2+x^2} \\ \\ 76=\sqrt{5x^2} \\ \\ 5x^2= 76^2= 5776\\ \\ x^2= \frac{5776}{5}=1155.2 \\ \\ x= \sqrt{1155.2} =33.988...

Thus, the width of the tabletop is 33.988... inches and the length will be:  (2×33.988...) = 67.976... inches.

The perimeter will be:  2(33.988...+ 67.976...) inches = 203.929... inches.
