Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A knitter wants to make a rug for a dollhouse. The length of the rug will be 2 inches more than it's width. Let the width of the rug be represented by w. This means that the length of the rug will be w + 2

The total area of the rug (in square inches ) based on the width W of the rug (in inches ) is given by

A(w) = w (2+w)

If the desired area of the rug is 15 square inches,,the width will be determined by substituting 15 for A(w). It becomes

15 = w^2 + 2w

w^2 + 2w - 15 = 0

w^2 + 5w - 3w - 15 = 0

w(w+5) -3(w+5)

w - 3 = 0 or w+ 5 = 0

w = 3 or w = -5

w cannot be negative. So w = 3 inches

Calculate the area of the shaded sector in the circle​
agasfer [191]

Answer:

Approximately, 6.283..

Step-by-step explanation:

First calculate the area of the whole circle

We have radius(r)=4 cm

Area of circle(a)=pir^2

=pi×(4)^2

=pi×16

=Approximately,50.265......

A cirlce has a total of 360 degrees

Therefore,we can conclude 360 degrees=50.265...

or,1 degree=50.265/360

1 degree=Approximately,0.139

Now,

Area for the shaded region = Area of 45 degree

=0.139×45=Approximately,6.283.....

Therefore,the area of the shaded region is approximately,6.283....

Please help!
Papessa [141]

Answer:

x = 1 and x = 2

x = 4 and x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertical asymptotes appear where the function does not have a value. This is most commonly when the denominator of a rational function is 0. Find the asymptotes by factoring the denominator and setting it equal to 0. Then solve for x.

<u>First equation</u>

x² - 3x + 2 factors into (x-1)(x-2)

When x-1 = 0, x = 1. When x-2=0, x = 2. The V.A. are at x = 1 and x = 2.

<u>Second equation</u>

x²  - 16 factors into (x+4)(x-4)

When x+4= 0, x = -4. When x-4 = 0, then x = 4. The V.A. are at x = -4 and x = 4.
