The Solution.

Representing the problem in a diagram, we have

By formula,

P=2(L+W)

In this case,

P=15\operatorname{cm},L=?,W=\frac{22}{8}cm

Substituting these values in the formula above, we get

15=2(L+\frac{22}{8})

Clearing the bracket, we get

15=2L+(2\times\frac{22}{8})\begin{gathered} 15=2L+\frac{11}{2} \\  \\ 15=2L+5.5 \end{gathered}\begin{gathered} 15-5.5=2L \\ 9.5=2L \end{gathered}

Dividing both sides by 2, we get

L=\frac{9.5}{2}=4.75\approx4.8\operatorname{cm}

Therefore, the correct answer is option C.

Answer:

so we know:

total of 20 students

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

chemistry has a total of 14 students

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14

8 students are in physics

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

3 are in all of them

1 2 3

1) underline the main 3

total of 20 students

<u>1 2 3 </u>4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

chemistry has a total of 14 students

<u>1 2 3</u> 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14

8 students are in physics

<u>1 2 3 </u>4 5 6 7 8

2) lets bold the physics students, if you are in physics you have to do chem so that means 8 of the chem students also take physics.

total

<u>1 2 3 </u>4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

chemistry

<u>1 2 3</u> 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14

physics

<u>1 2 3 </u>4 5 6 7 8

3) now we bring biology into the "equation"

off the bat we know 3 are definitely in Biology.

so if 4 study ONLY biology we can cross them off our list see the {}

total

<u>1 2 3 </u>4 5 6 7 8 {9 10 11 12} 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

chemistry

<u>1 2 3</u> 4 5 6 7 8 {9 10 11 12} 13 14

physics

<u>1 2 3 </u>4 5 6 7 8

biology

<u>1 2 3 </u>

<u />

4) so we have a total of 20 students, 3 in all of the classes <u>(underlined)</u>, 8 in physics (bolded). If there 14 in chemistry, 4 take ONLY chemistry {}, 8 take chemistry as well (bolded), that leaves two students, so they must belong in biology. lets<em> italicise</em> them.

total

<em><u>1 2 3 </u></em>4 5 6 7 8 {9 10 11 12} <em>13 14</em> 15 16 17 18 19 20

chemistry

<em><u>1 2 3</u></em><em> </em>4 5 6 7 8 {9 10 11 12} <em>13 14</em>

physics

<em><u>1 2 3</u></em><u> </u>4 5 6 7 8

biology

<em><u>1 2 3 </u></em><em> 13 14</em>

<u />

5) out of our total of 20 students we know 14 of the students classes, so the remaining six must be in biology.

<u>1 2 3 </u>4 5 6 7 8 {9 10 11 12} <em>13 14</em> 15 <em>16 17 18 19 20</em>

chemistry

<u>1 2 3</u> 4 5 6 7 8 {9 10 11 12} <em>13 14</em>

physics

<u>1 2 3 </u>4 5 6 7 8

biology

<u>1 2 3 </u><em>13 14</em> 15 <em>16 17 18 19 20</em>

6) so that was our "diagram" so now lets count how many are in chemistry and biology but NOT physics.

<u>1 2 3 </u>4 5 6 7 8 {9 10 11 12} <em>13 14</em> 15 <em>16 17 18 19 20</em>

chemistry

<u>-1 2 3</u> 4 5 6 7 8- {9 10 11 12} <em>13 14</em>

physics

<u>-1 2 3 </u>4 5 6 7 8-

biology

<u>-1 2 3 -</u><em>13 14</em> 15 <em>16 17 18 19 20</em>

there are 14 students in chemistry and 11 in biology, 5 of them are in both classes so 14-5= 9 and 11-5= 6 9+6=16. BUT 8 of those sixteen are also in -physics- so we arent counting them, we put those students in dashes. so lets count the students out of the dashes. so<em> twelve</em> of them are in chemistry and biology but not physics.

7) so how many are in just biology but not the other classes? lets look at the graph.

<u>1 2 3 </u>4 5 6 7 8 {9 10 11 12} <em>13 14</em> 15 <em>16 17 18 19 20</em>

chemistry

<u>1 2 3</u> 4 5 6 7 8 {9 10 11 12} <em>13 14</em>

physics

<u>1 2 3 </u>4 5 6 7 8

biology

<u>1 2 3 </u><em>13 14</em> 15 <em>16 17 18 19 20</em>

in the class of biology students 1 2 3 13 and 14 take other classes that leaves students 15 16 17 18 19 and 20. so 6 students take ONLY biology.

sorry its long but i hope this helps!

Help please!??!!?!?
vfiekz [6]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  a) CP = SP/1.1

  b) CP = $59.50

  c) GST = $5.95

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Divide by the coefficient of CP.

  SP = 1.1×CP

  CP = SP/1.1

__

b) Use the formula with the given value.

  CP = $65.45/1.1 = $59.50

__

c) You can do this two ways: subtract CP from SP, or multiply CP by 0.1.

  GST = SP -CP = $65.45 -59.50 = $5.95

  GST = CP×0.10 = $59.50 × 0.10 = $5.95

Determine the domain and range of the function f(x)= 3x+2. Also, state the intervals where the function f(x)= 3x+ 2 is increasin
aev [14]

Answer:

Increasing on it's domain (-\infty,\infty) because the slope is positive.

The domain and range are both all real numbers, also known as

(-\infty,\infty).

Step-by-step explanation:

All domain really means is what numbers can you plug in and you get number back from your function.

I should be able to plug in any number into 3x+2 and result in a number. There are no restrictions for x on 3x+2.

The domain is all real numbers.

In interval notation that is (-\infty,\infty).

Now the range is the set of numbers that get hit by y=3x+2.

Well y=3x+2 is a linear function that is increasing.  I know it is increasing because the slope is positive 3. I wrote out the positive part because that is the item you focus on in a linear equation to determine if is increasing or decreasing.

If slope is positive, then the line is increasing.

If slope is negative, then the line is decreasing.

So y=3x+2 hits all values of y because it is increasing forever.  The range is all real numbers. In interval notation that is (-\infty,\infty).
