A = 864
w = 2/3l

A = lw

Plug in what we know:

864 = l(2/3l)

Multiply:

864 = 2/3l^2

Divide 2/3 to both sides or multiply by its reciprocal, 3/2:

864 * 3/2 = l^2

2592/2 = l^2

1296 = l^2

Find the square root of both sides:

l = 36

So the length of the basement is 36 feet.

Area=Length*Width \\ A=LW \\ 864=( \frac{2}{3}L )L \\ 864= \frac{2}{3}L^{2} \\ 1296=L^{2} \\ L= \sqrt{1296} \\ \boxed{Length=36\ feet}

2x^2 / x^2 - y^2 - x^2 / xy - y ^ 2​
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

2 - 2y^2 - x/y

Step-by-step explanation:

2x^2/x^2 = 2

and

x^2/xy = x/y

therefore

2x^2/x^2 - y^2 - x^2/xy - y^2

= 2 - y^2 - x/y - y^2

= 2 - y^2 - y^2 - x/y

= 2 - 2y^2 - x/y

If p(x) = x^2 – 1 and q(x)=5(x-1), which expression is equivalent to (p – q)(x)? 5(x – 1) – x^2 – 1 (5x – 1) – (x^2 – 1) (x^2 –
Murrr4er [49]
P(x) = x^2 - 1
q(x) = 5(x - 1)
(p - q)(x) = p(x) - q(x) = (x^2 - 1) - 5(x - 1)

A person travels 7 miles in 3 ½ hours, how many miles will he travel in ¼ hour?
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

1.6 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Example 1

It took Markus half an hour to drive home from work.  He averaged 34 miles per hour.  How far does Markus live from his work?

Solution

We are given that it takes 1/2 an hour for the trip.  This is a time:

       t  =  1/2

We are given that he averages 34 miles per hour.  This is a rate:

       r  =  34

We are asked how few he has traveled.  This is a distance.  We use the d=rt equation:

       d  =  rt  

           =  (34)(1/2)

           =  17

Markus lives 17 miles from work.

Now try one by yourself.  If you want to see the answer, put your mouse on the yellow rectangle and the answer will appear.

Exercise 1

Which equation represents exponential growth?
Blababa [14]

Growth means a base for exponentiation bigger than 1  (in absolute value), otherwise it's decay.

Only the first choice has a base biggerthan 1.  The last choice is equivalent to f(x)=5 ( \frac 1 6)^x so has a base less than 1.

Answer: A
