Lol i'm taking a test from everything i learned in middle school to nowwww . HELP & EXPLAIN

I kinda got confused on this one <br> 25z - 8z + (-3z)

otez555 [7]

Answer:

The answer is 14z

Step-by-step explanation:

25z - 8z + (-3z)

-8z + (-3z) is the same thing as -8z - 3z, which equals -11z,

25z - 11z = 14z

The perimeter of a rectangle is 24 inches. Find the dimension If the length of the rectangle is 3 inches more than it’s width.

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

length is 7.5 and width is 4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Its given that perimeter of the triangle is 24 units.

The condition is that length is 3 units more than the width.

l=w+3;

Formula for perimeter is 2(l+w).

so ,

2(w+w+3)=24,

2w+3=12,

w=4.5,

l=w+3=7.5

Hence for the given conditions length is 7.5 and width is 4.5.

farmer joe is enclosing a rectangular area on his arm for his chicken with 200 feet of fencing that he recently acquired in a tr

Llana [10]

For this case, the area is given by:
A = x * (200-2x)
Rewriting:
A = 200x-2x ^ 2
Deriving the expression we have:
A '= 200-4x
Equaling zero we have:
200-4x = 0
We clear x:
4x = 200
x = 200/4
x = 50 feet
Then, the maximum area is:
A (50) = 50 * (200-2 * 50)
A (50) = 5000 feet ^ 2
Answer:
the maximum possible area that can be enclosed with his 200ft of fencing is:
A (50) = 5000 feet ^ 2

A bridge is built in the shape of a parabolic arch. The bridge arch has a span of 166 feet and a maximum height of 40 feet. Find

scoray [572]

Answer:

38.27775 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The bridge has been shown in the figure.

Let the highest point of the parabolic bridge (i.e. vertex of the parabola) be at the origin, $O(0,0)$ in the cartesian coordinate system.

As the bridge have the shape of an inverted parabola, so the standard equation, which describes the shape of the bridge is

$x^2=4ay\;\cdots(i)$

where $a$ is an arbitrary constant (distance between focus and vertex of the parabola).

The span of the bridge = 166 feet and

Maximum height of the bridge= 40 feet.

The coordinate where the bridge meets the base is $A(83, -40)$ and $B(-83, -40).$

There is only one constant in the equation of the parabola, so, use either of one point to find the value of $a$ .

Putting $A(83,-40)$ in the equation (i) we have

$83^2=4a(-40)$

$\Rightarrow a=-43.05625$

So, on putting the value of $a$ in the equation (i), the equation of bridge is

$x^2=-172.225y$

From the figure, the distance from the center is measured along the x-axis, x coordinate at the distance of 10 feet is, $x=\pm 10$ feet, put this value in equation (i) to get the value of y.
