A) W * L = 72
B) L = W + 6
A) W = 72 / L Substituting this into B
B) L = 72 / L + 6 Multiplying both sides by "L"
B) L^2 = 72 + 6L
B) L^2 -6L -72 = 0
L = 12
Width = 6

Let the width be x
then length = x + 6

area = x(x+6)
72 = x^2 + 6x
x^2 + 6x - 72=0
x^2 + 12x-6x -72 = 0
x(x + 12 ) - 6 ( x + 12) = 0
(x-6) (x+12) = 0

width = 6
length = 6+6 = 12

sdas [7]

Answer:

a

$n= 75, 582$

b

$n= 2300$

c

$n = 253$

Step-by-step explanation:

Generally the size of the sample sample space is mathematically represented as

$n = \left N } \atop {}} \right. C_r$

Where N is the total number of objects available and r is the number of objects to be selected

So for a, where N = 19 and r = 8

$n = \left 19 } \atop {}} \right. C_8 = \frac{19 !}{(19 - 8 )! 8!}$

$= \frac{19 *18 *17 *16 *15 *14 *13 *12 *11! }{11 ! \ 8!}$

$n= 75, 582$

For b Where N = 25 and r = 3

$n = \left 25 } \atop {}} \right. C_3 = \frac{25 !}{(19 - 3 )! 3!}$

$= \frac{25 *24 *23 *22 ! }{22 ! \ 3!}$

$n= 2300$

For c Where N = 23 and r = 2

$n = \left 23 } \atop {}} \right. C_2 = \frac{23 !}{(23 - 2 )! 2!}$

$= \frac{23 *22 *21! }{21 ! \ 3!}$

$n = 253$

3. What is the scale factor of Figure B to Figure A?

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram, figure B was enlarged to obtain figure A.

The two figures are therefore similar.

The corresponding sides are in the same proportion. That constant value of the proportion is called scale factor.

It is given by:

$k = \frac{image \: length}{corresponding\:object \: length}$

Figure B is the image of A

$k = \frac{10}{4} = \frac{25}{10} = \frac{21.5}{8.6} = 2.5$

Therefore the scale factor is 2.5

Test for the commutative property of union and intersection of the sets P = { x : x is all real numbers between 2 and 7} and Q =

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

P = {x : x is a real number between 2 and 7}

{x: 3,4,5,6}

Q = {x : x is all rational number between 2 and 7}

{4 }

We know that P contains all the rational numbers between 2 and 7.

And P ∪ Q and Q ∪ P each of them contain all the real numbers which are between 2 and 7.

{3,4,5,6}

Here Q is the proper subset of P

P ∩ Q = Q ∩ P = Q= {4}
