Answer:

D. 14.1 feet by 11.1 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w be the width of the rug.

We have been given that the length of the rug is 3 feet longer than the width. So the length of the rug would be w+3.

We have been given that the measure of the diagonal of the rug to be 18 feet. To find the width of rug we will use Pythagoras theorem as rug is rectangular.

w^2+(w+3)^2=18^2

w^2+w^2+6w+9=324

2w^2+6w+9=324

2w^2+6w+9-324=0

2w^2+6w-315=0

We will use quadratic formula to solve for w.

w=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

w=\frac{-6\pm \sqrt{6^2-4*2*-315}}{2*2}

w=\frac{-6\pm \sqrt{36+2520}}{4}

w=\frac{-6\pm \sqrt{2556}}{4}

w=\frac{-6}{4}\pm \frac{\sqrt{2556}}{4}

w=\frac{-6}{4}\pm \frac{50.55689863}{4}

Since the width cannot be negative, so width of the rug would be:

w=\frac{-6}{4}+\frac{50.55689863}{4}

w=-1.5+12.639224659

w=11.139224\approx 11.1

Therefore, the width of rug would be 11.1 feet.

Since length of rug is 3 feet longer than width, so width of the rug would be 11.1+3=14.1,

Therefore, the option D is the correct choice.

How do you simplify on number 1?
Dennis_Churaev [7]
Okay. On the part that's not the whole number, see how the top number is BIGGER than the bottom? That means that it's not simplified. In order to make it simplified, you have to take a whole out of the pat that's not a whole number. Since the denominator is 12, the whole is 12/12. So, subtract it from the 13/12.

13/12-12/12=1/12

Now, since you found a whole inside of the fraction you have to add 1 to the whole number.
5+1=6

So, the answer is 6 1/12.

Thanks for the points!

Which is it? , 30 points
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

It's choice B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's look the one you have chosen (A):

f(x) =  x - 2/ 7  + 8

x-2 / 7 = f(x) - 8

x- 2 = 7(f(x) - 8)

x = 7(f(x) - 8) + 2

The inverse)= 7(x - 8) + 2

So it's not A.

B.  f(x) = 5(x/4) - 3

5x / 4 = f(x) + 3

5x = 4(f(x) + 3)

x = 4(f(x) + 3 / 5

So the inverse is  4(x + 3) / 5

So it is B.
