Answer:

D) all real numbers greater than zero

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the rectangle must be greater than zero. Because an area equal to zero or a negative area wouldn't make any sense. So let's write the inequalities in order to find the correct domain:

f(x)=x(3x+5)>0

Split in two equations:

x>0\hspace{32}(1)\\\\3x+5>0\hspace{10}(2)

From (1) we can determine directly that 5 must be greater than zero.

Now, for equation (2):

3x+5>0\\\\3x>-5\\\\x>-\frac{5}{3}

So, x can also take negative values less than -5/3, for example, let's evaluate the area for x=-2:

f(-2)=-2(3(-2)+5)=-2(-6+5)=-2(-1)=2

This would make sense for the area, however it wouldn't make sense for the side measurements. Never heard about of -10 ft for example.

Therefore the  domain of the function which make sense in this case is all real numbers greater than zero.

F(x)=x(3x+5)
or
f(x)=3x²+5x
Here the domain in general is: -∞<x<∞
But the length of the rectangle cannot be negative, therefore the domain is all real numbers greater than zero.

Option D is correct.

Walgreens is offered a chain discount on cosmetics from Libby Corp. of 8/5/2; Roma Company offers a chain discount of 7/6/4. Wha
kykrilka [37]

Answer: 0.0160768

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the marked price of the cosmetic be 100.

From the question,

Walgreens is offered a chain discount on cosmetics from Libby Corp. of 8%, 5% and 2%. The selling price of the cosmetic after the chain discount will be:

100 × (1 - 8/100) × (1 - 5/100) × (1 - 2/100)

= 100 × (1 - 0.08) × (1 - 0.05) × (1 - 0.02)

= 85.652

Discount = Marked price - Selling price

Discount = 100 - 85.652

Discount = 14.348

Discount percent = 14.348% = 0.14348

Roma Company offers a chain discount of 7%, 6% and 4%.

The selling price of the cosmetic after the chain discount will be:

100 × (1 - 7/100) × (1 - 6/100) × (1 - 4/100)

= 100 × (1 - 0.07) × (1 - 0.06) × (1 - 0.04)

= 83.9232

Discount = Marked price - Selling price

Discount = 100 - 83.9232

Discount = 16.0768

Discount percent = 16.0768% = 0.0160768

The highest discount offered is 0.0160768.

The ratio of the circumference of two circles is 3:2.What is the ratio of their area
Nezavi [6.7K]

The ratio of their area is 9/4

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

We use ratios to compares values. In this exercise, we are comparing the circumference of two circles, which is:

3:2

and we want to know what is the ratio of their area. Recall that the circumference of a circle is given by:

C=2\pi r \\ \\ \\ Where: \\ \\ C:Circumference \\ \\ r:Radius \ of \ the \ circle

If we define:

C_{1}: \ Circumference \ of \ circle \ 1 \\ \\ C_{2}: \ Circumference \ of \ circle \ 2 \\ \\ r_{1}: \ Radius \ of \ circle \ 1 \\ \\ r_{2}: \ Radius \ of \ circle \ 2

Then, the ratio of the circumference of two circles is 3:2 is:

\frac{C_{1}}{C_{2}}=\frac{2\pi r_{1}}{2\pi r_{2}}=\frac{3}{2} \\ \\ \therefore \frac{r_{1}}{r_{2}}=\frac{3}{2}

The area of a circle is given by:

A=\pi r^2 \\ \\ A:Area \\ \\ r:Radius

So the ratio of their area can be found as:

\frac{A_{1}}{A_{2}}=\frac{\pi r_{1}^2}{\pi r_{2}^2} \\ \\ \\ A_{1}:Area \ of \ circle \ 1 \\ \\ A_{2}:Area \ of \ circle \ 2

So:

\frac{A_{1}}{A_{2}}=\frac{r_{1}^2}{r_{2}^2}=\left( \frac{r_{1}}{r_{2}} \right)^2 \\ \\ \frac{A_{1}}{A_{2}}=\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^2 \\ \\ \boxed{\frac{A_{1}}{A_{2}}=\frac{9}{4}}
