Consider that the initial length and width of the rectangle are given as,

\begin{gathered} l=20 \\ b=20 \end{gathered}

After the length is increased by 10%, the new length (L) of the rectangle is calculated as,

\begin{gathered} L=(1+\frac{10}{100})\cdot l \\ L=(\frac{110}{100})\cdot20 \\ L=22 \end{gathered}

After the width is decreased by 10%, the new width (B) of the rectangle is calculated as,

\begin{gathered} B=(1-\frac{10}{100})\cdot b \\ B=(\frac{90}{100})\cdot20 \\ B=18 \end{gathered}

Then the area (A) of the new rectangle is calculated as,

\begin{gathered} A=L\times B \\ A=22\times18 \\ A=396 \end{gathered}

Thus, the new area of the rectangle is 396 square meters.

What are the solutions of 3(x – 4)(2x - 3) = 0? Check all that apply.
dangina [55]

Answer:

The solution to the equation is:

x=4,\:x=\frac{3}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation

3\left(x-4\right)\left(2x-3\right)=0

Using the zero factor principle

if ab=0, then a=0 or b=0 (or both a=0 and b=0)

x-4=0\quad \mathrm{or}\quad \:2x-3=0

now solving

x - 4 = 0

adding 4 to both sides

x - 4 + 4 = 0 + 4

simplifying

x = 4

and also solving

2x - 3 = 0

adding 3 to both sides

2x - 3 + 3 = 0 + 3

simplifying

2x = 3

divide both sides by 2

\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{3}{2}

simplifying

x=\frac{3}{2}

Therefore, the solution to the equation is:

x=4,\:x=\frac{3}{2}

1 kilogram (kg) is about 2.2 times as heavy as 1 pound (lb). Suppose the function f determines Emanuel's weight (in lbs), f ( t
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

(a) The value g(35) is 77.727.

(b) The required function for g(t) is g(t)=2.2f(t).

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

It is given that 1 kilogram (kg) is about 2.2 times as heavy as 1 pound (lb).

1 kg = 2.2 lbs              .... (1)

The function f(t) determines Emanuel's weight (in lbs) and function g(t) determines Emanuel's weight (in kg), where t is the number of days since the beginning of 2017.

It is given that f(35)=171, it means the Emanuel's weight is 171 lbs after 35 days since the beginning of 2017.

We have to find the value of g(35). So, we need to find Emanuel's weight in kg after 35 days since the beginning of 2017.

1\text{ kg }=2.2\text{ lbs}

Divide both sides by 2.2.

\frac{1}{2.2}\text{ kg }=1\text{ lbs}

Multiply both sides by 171.

\frac{171}{2.2}\text{ kg }=171\text{ lbs}

77.727\text{ kg }=171\text{ lbs}

Therefore the value g(35) is 77.727.

(b)

Since f(t) is Emanuel's weight (in lbs) and g(t) is Emanuel's weight (in kg), therefore using conversion (1) we get

g(t)=2.2\times f(t)

g(t)=2.2f(t)

Therefore the required function for g(t) is g(t)=2.2f(t).
