a rectangle has a side length 2x+9 and side width x. If the perimeter is 36 cm, what is the value of x?

1 answer:

6 0

2(2x + 9) + 2(x) = 36

4x + 18 + 2x = 36

Combine like terms.

6x + 18 = 36

Subtract 18 from both sides.

6x = 18

Divide 6 on both sides.

x = 3

Hope this helps!

4sin^2 + 13cos^2 = 7. Find cos Please read the picture question carefully and help !!

Vanyuwa [196]

4 sin^2 θ + 13cos^2 θ = 7
sin^2 θ = 1 - cos^ θ
4 - 4cos^2 θ + 13cos^2 θ = 7
9cos^2 θ = 3
cos^2 θ = 1/3
cos θ = # (1/3) # - square root
Square root of (1/3) has +1/3 and -1/3 as values of cos
Find the key angle by doing the cos inverse of #1/3
K.A = cos^-1 #(1/3) = 0.955
θ lies in all 4 quadrants
The values of θ are:
θ = 0.955, 2.186, 4.096, 7.23
Ignore 0.955, 2.186, 4.096, 7.23 as they are out of range pi/2 = 1.571
The the value of θ = 0.955 = 0.96 (to 2 d.p) radian

Hope it helped!

What is the average rate of change for this exponential function for the interval from x=2 to x=4?

mario62 [17]

The equation to calculate the average rate of change is: y/x

y = f(x2) - f(x1)x = x2 - x1

x1: 1 (The smaller x value. It can be any number)x2: 2 (The larger x value. It also can be any number)f(x1): The value when you plug x1 into the function.f(x2): The value when you plug x2 into the function.

If we know this, the variables for this problem are assuming the function is 10(5.5)^x:

x2: 2x1: 1f(x2): 10(5.5)^(2) = 302.5f(x1): 10(5.5)^(1)= 55

This means:y = 302.5 - 55 = 247.5x = 2 - 1 = 1

Remember: the equation for avg rate of change is y/x

So, our average rate of change for the function on the interval [1,2] is 247.5 (y/x = 247.5/1)
