Step-by-step explanation:

the area of a rectangle is

length × width

in our case

length × width = 70 m²

length = 3×width - 11

we can use this second equation in the first and get

(3×width - 11) × width = 70

3×width² - 11×width - 70 = 0

the general solution to a quadratic equation is

x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/(2a)

in our case

a = 3

b = -11

c = -70

x = (11 ± sqrt((-11)² - 4×3×-70))/(2×3) =

= (11 ± sqrt(121 + 840))/6 =

= (11 ± sqrt(961))/6

x1 = (11 + 31)/6 = 42/6 = 7

x2 = (11 - 31)/6 = -20/6 = -10/3

the negative solution is not applicable for a length in an object.

so, only x1 = 7 m is our solution.

the width of the rectangle is 7 m.

the length = 3×width - 11 = 3×7 - 11 = 21-11 = 10 m

What is the solution to this system of equations?
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

  (x, y) = (5, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

A graphing calculator provides a quick and easy way to find the solution.

_____

There are several other ways to solve these equations. Or you can estimate where the answer might be using logic like this:

The intercepts of the first equation are ...

  • x-intercept = 26/4 = 6 1/2
  • y-intercept = -26/3 = -8 2/3

So the graph of it will form a triangle with the axes in the 4th quadrant.

The intercepts of the second equation are ...

  • x-intercept = 11/3 = 3 2/3
  • y-intercept = 11/2 = 5 1/2

So the graph of it will form a triangle with the axes in the 1st quadrant. The x-intercept of this one is less than the x-intercept of the first equation, so the two lines must cross in the 4th quadrant.

The only 4th-quadrant answer choice is (5, -2).

Which choice is equivalent to the product below when x>0?
V125BC [204]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the rule of radicals

\sqrt{\frac{a}{b} } = \frac{\sqrt{a} }{\sqrt{b} }

\sqrt{a\\} × \sqrt{b} ⇔ \sqrt{ab}

Given

\sqrt{\frac{6}{x} } × \sqrt{\frac{x^2}{24} }

= \frac{\sqrt{6} }{\sqrt{x} } × \frac{x^2}{24}

= \frac{\sqrt{6} }{\sqrt{x} } × \frac{x}{2 \sqrt{6\\} }

Cancel \sqrt{6} on numerator/ denominator

= \frac{1}{\sqrt{x} } × \frac{x}{2\\}

= \frac{1}{\sqrt{x} } × \frac{(\sqrt{x})^2 }{2}

Cancel \sqrt{x} on numerator/ denominator, leaving

= \frac{\sqrt{x} }{2} → D
