The length of a rectangle is 5 times it’s width. If the perimeter of a rectangle is 72 m, find its area

1 answer:

6 0

X = width. the perimeter of a rectangle is 2*length + 2*width, so the perimeter of this rectangle is 2x + 2(5x) = 72. distribute the two to get 2x + 10x = 72. so 12x = 72. divide by twelve to get x = 6. the width is six, so the perimeter (5x) is 30. the area of a rectangle is length times width, 30*6, so the area is 180 m.

Logs are stacked in a pile. The top row has 15 logs and the bottom row has 24 logs. How many logs are there in the stack?

ziro4ka [17]

There are two ways you can do this. You can use the longer way:
15+16+17+18+19+20+21+22+23+24 = 195 (starting from the top row, which has 15 logs, up until the bottom row, which has 24 logs, on condition that each second row has one log more than the previous one)

You can also use the formula (where n is the number of rows)
x= (n(first term+last term))/2
x= (10(15+24))/2
x= (10*39)/2
x=390/2
x=195

Either way, there are 195 logs in the stack.

Need help with linear approximation

Dmitrij [34]

Consider a function f(x), the linear approximation L(x) of f(x) is given by

$L(x)=f(a)+(x-a)f'(a)$

Given the quantity: $\frac{1}{203}$

We approximate the quantity using the function $f(x)= \frac{1}{x}$ , where x = 203.

We choose a = 200, thus the linear approximation is given as follows:

$L(203)=f(200)+(203-200)f'(200) \\ \\ = \frac{1}{200} - \frac{3}{200^2} = \frac{200-3}{200^2} = \frac{197}{40,000} =0.004925$
