Step-by-step explanation:

the area of a rectangle is

length × width = 300 ft²

length = width + 5

(width + 5) × width = 300

width² + 5×width = 300

width² + 5×width - 300 = 0

the general solution to such a quadratic equation is

width = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/(2a)

in our case

a = 1

b = 5

c = -300

width = (-5 ± sqrt(5² - 4×1×-300))/(2×1) =

= (-5 ± sqrt(25 + 1200))/2 =

= (-5 ± sqrt(1225))/2 = (-5 ± 35)/2

width1 = (-5 + 35)/2 = 30/2 = 15 ft

width2 = (-5 - 35)/2 = -40/2 = -20 ft

negative lengths for an actual object don't make sense, so width = 15 ft is our solution.

length = width + 5 = 15 + 5 = 20 ft

Answer:

width=x

length=5x

area= 300ft2

area=lxb

300=5x(x)

300=5x^2

x^2=60

x=7.74

7.74(5)=38.7

dimensions are 38.7ft by 7.74 ft

In answering on a multiple choice test, a student either know the answer or guesses. Let p be the probability that the students

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

$P(A_{1}|B ) =\frac{mp}{1+p(m-1)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

For mutually exclusive events as A1, A2, A3, etc, Bayes' theorem states:

$P(A|B)= \frac{P(B|A)P(A)}{P(B)}$

P(A|B) is a conditional probability: the likelihood of event A occurring given that B is true.

P(B|A) is a conditional probability: the likelihood of event B occurring given that A is true.

P(A) is the probability that A occurs

P(B) is the probability that B occurs

For this problem:

A1 is the probability that the student knows the answer

A2 is the probability that the student guesses the answer

B is the probability that the student answer correctly

$P(A_{1})=p \\P(A_{2})=1-p \\P(B|A_{1})=1 \\P(B|A_{2})=\frac{1}{m} \\P(B)= P(A_{1})P(B|A_{1}) + P(A_{2})P(B|A_{2})= p+\frac{1-p}{m} \\$

P(B|A₁) means the probability that the answer is correct when he knew the answer

P(B|A₂) means the probability that the answer is correct when he guessed the answer

P(A₁|B) means the probability that he knew the answer when the answer was correct

Replacing everything in the Bayes' theorem you get:

$P(A_{1}|B)= \frac{P(B|A_{1})P(A_{1})}{P(B)}=\frac{(1)(p)}{p+\frac{1-p}{m}} =\frac{mp}{mp+1-p} =\frac{mp}{1+p(m-1)}$

Use the balanced scale to find the conversion factor that can be used to convert the number of blocks to the weight of the block

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

A. 1.5 pounds per block

Step-by-step explanation:

The conversion factor shows 2 blocks on the right and three 1 pound blocks on the left. It takes two 1 pound blocks to make 2 and then you get your 3rd block, making it 3 (.5 more than 2.5) needing another block to add a .5

1. Write the following in exponential form and as a multiplication sentence using only 10 as a factor

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

1. a. 1,000 = 10³ = 10 × 10 × 10

b. 100 × 100 = 10² × 10² = 10 × 10 × 10 × 10

2. a. 3 × 10² = 300

b. 2.16 × 10⁴ = 21,600

c. 800 ÷ 10³ = 0.8

d. 754.2 ÷ 10² = 7.542

Step-by-step explanation:

3. a. 1,000

There are 3 zeros in 1000. This is equivalent to 10 raised to the power of 3. Writing this in multiplication sentence using 19 as the only factor, we would have:

1,000 = 10³ = 10 × 10 × 10

b. 100 × 100

Using the same logic as explained in (a) above, we would have:

100 × 100 = 10² × 10² = 10 × 10 × 10 × 10

2. a. 3 × 10²

Convert 10² to 100 and multiply both numbers

3 × 10² = 3 × 10 × 10 = 3 × 100 = 300

b. 2.16 × 10⁴

2.16 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 = 2.16 × 10,000

Multiplying both numbers, since we have 4 zeros, move the decimal point 4 places to the right.

2.16 × 10,000 = 21,600

c. 800 ÷ 10³ = 800 ÷ 10 × 10 × 10

800 ÷ 1,000

There are 3 zeros in 1000, since we are dividing, move the decimal point 3 places to the left.

800 ÷ 1,000 = 0.8

d. 754.2 ÷ 10² = 754.2 ÷ 10 × 10

754.2 ÷ 100

Move the decimal point 2 places to the left.

754.2 ÷ 100 = 7.542
