Answer:

<u>Width = 7 inches</u>

<u>Length = 23 inches</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

  • length = 2x + 9
  • width = x

Equating to area :

  • (2x + 9)(x) = 161
  • 2x² + 9x = 161
  • 2x² + 9x - 161 = 0
  • 2x² - 14x + 23x - 161 = 0
  • 2x(x - 7) + 23(x - 7) = 0
  • x - 7 = 0
  • x = 7

Dimensions are :

  • <u>Width = 7 inches</u>
  • Length = 2(7) + 9
  • <u>Length = 23 inches</u>

Answer:

Length: 23 inches

Width: 7 inches

Explanation:

  • Width: w
  • Length: 2w + 9
<h3>Area of rectangle: Length × Width</h3>
  • (2w + 9) × (w) = 161
  • 2w² + 9w - 161 = 0
  • 2w² + 23w - 14w -161 = 0
  • w(2w + 23) -7(2w +23) = 0
  • w = 7, -11.5

As <u>length measure cannot be negative</u>. Width is +7 inches

Length: 2w + 9 = 2(7) + 9 = 14 + 9 = 23

Goal: Find a reasonable domain and range for each function.
slamgirl [31]
D(x) = 32x......ur range will be ur d(x) values and the domain will be ur x values.....where d(x) = total distance and x = gallons.
So we already know that ur car's fuel tank holds 17 gallons....therefore, ur domain has to be 17 gallons or less...but it cant be negative.
so ur domain is : 0 < = x < = 17

now for ur range....since the car only holds 17 gallons....d(x) = 32(17) = 544 miles....thats the farthest it can go...therefore it can go from 0 to 544 miles....so ur range is : 0 < = d(x) < = 544

or u could write it as : domain = (0,17) with 0 representing an empty tank and 17 representing a full tank.....and ur range = (0,544) with 0 representing 0 miles driven and 544 representing 544 miles driven

Biologists use a formula to estimate the mass of a
balu736 [363]

Answer:

The approximate mass of the brain of a mouse is 2 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct question in the attached figure

Let

B -----> the  approximate mass B of the brain in grams

m ----> the mass of a  mammal's brain in grams

we know that

B=\frac{1}{8}m^{\frac{2}{3}} ----> given problem

we have

m=64\ g

substitute in the formula above

B=\frac{1}{8}(64)^{\frac{2}{3}}

Remember that

(64)^{\frac{2}{3}}=\sqrt[3]{(64)^2}=\sqrt[3]{(4^{3})^2}=\sqrt[3]{(4^{6})}=4^{2}=16

B=\frac{1}{8}(16)\\\\B=2\ g

Find IJ, JK, and IK <br> Analyze the diagram below and complete the instructions that follow.
fredd [130]
IJ=x-4
JK=5x+12
IK=9x-19

IJ+JK=IK
(x-4)+(5x+12)=(9x-19)
x-4+5x+12=9x-19
6x+8=9x-19
6x+8-6x+19=9x-19-6x+19
27=3x
3x=27
3x/3=27/3
x=9

IJ=x-4=9-4→IJ=5
JK=5x+12=5(9)+12=45+12→JK=57
IK=9x-19=9(9)-19=81-19→IK=62

Answer: Option B. IJ=5, JK=57, IK=62

PLEASE ANSWER THIS ASAP !!!!
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

y = (1/2)x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the slope:

Take the rise over run to find this- For every unit it goes up, it goes two units across, so it will be (1/2)

Find the y-intercept:

This is the value of y where the line intersects the y-axis- (0,2), so 2

Substitute these values in for m and b:

y = mx + b

y = (1/2)x + 2

Hope that helps! :)

What is the value of x? If necessary leave your answer in the simplest radical form.
frutty [35]
<h3>Answer:  32</h3>

Explanation:

This is a 30-60-90 triangle as shown by the angles. These types of triangles have their shortest leg opposite the smallest angle, and the connection between the short and long legs is

long = short*sqrt(3)

We see that the long leg is 16*sqrt(3) units long, which must mean the short leg is 16 units. This doubles to 32 when we go from short leg to hypotenuse

hypotenuse = short*2
