Let width of rectangle be "x"
L= 3x W=x
if width is diminished by 1 that means new width = (x-1)
similarly the new length would be (3x+3)
hence (x-1)*(3x+3)=72
(3x^2)-3=72
3x^2=75
x^2=25
x= +/- 5
reject -5 as you cant have negative length
hence x=5
so original dimensions of rectangle is
L= 15m W=5m

Angus has $3,000 he want to invest. What interest rate compounded continuously does an account need to offer so that Angus has $

kaheart [24]

Answer:

The interest rate is 7.58%

Step-by-step explanation:

Compound continuous interest can be calculated using the formula:

A = P $e^{rt}$ , where

A is the future value of the investment, including interest

P is the principal investment amount (the initial amount)

r is the interest rate in decimal

t is the time the money is invested for

∵ Angus has $3,000 he want to invest

∴ P = 3000

∵ The interest rate is compounded continuously

∵ Angus has $5,500 in 8 years

∴ A = 5500

∴ t = 8

→ Substitute them in the rule above to find r

∵ 5500 = 3000 $e^{8r}$

→ Divide both sides by 3000

∴ $\frac{11}{6}$ = $e^{8r}$

→ Insert ㏑ in both sides

∵ ㏑( $\frac{11}{6}$ ) = ㏑( $e^{8r}$ )

→ Remember ㏑( $e^{n}$ ) = n

∴ ㏑( $\frac{11}{6}$ ) = 8r

→ Divide both sides by 8

∴ 0.07576697545 = r

→ Multiply it by 100% to change it to a percentage

∴ r = 0.07576697545 × 100%

∴ r = 7.576697545 %

→ Round it to the nearest hundredth

∴ r ≅ 7.58

∴ The interest rate is 7.58%

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

=8p−7.25

Step-by-step explanation:

=(5)(p)+(5)(−1)+(3)(p)+(3)(−0.75)

=5p+−5+3p+−2.25

=5p+−5+3p+−2.25

=(5p+3p)+(−5+−2.25)

=8p+−7.25

Consider two independent tosses of a fair coin. Let A be the event that the first toss results in heads, let B be the event that

aliina [53]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that two independent tosses of a fair coin.

Sample space={HH,HT,TH,TT}

We have to find that A, B and C are pairwise independent.

According to question

A={HH,HT}

B={HH,TH}

C={TT,HH}

$A\cap B=$ {HH}

$B\cap C$ ={HH}

$A\cap C$ ={HH}

P(E)= $\frac{number\;of\;favorable\;cases}{total\;number\;of\;cases}$

Using the formula

Then, we get

Total number of cases=4

Number of favorable cases to event A=2

$P(A)=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$

Number of favorable cases to event B=2

Number of favorable cases to event C=2

$P(B)=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$

$P(C)=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$

If the two events A and B are independent then

$P(A)\cdot P(B)=P(A\cap B)$

$P(A\cap)=\frac{1}{4}$

$P(B\cap C)=\frac{1}{4}$

$P(A\cap C)=\frac{1}{4}$

$P(A)\cdot P(B)=\frac{1}{2}\cdot \frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{4}$

$P(B)\cdot P(C)=\frac{1}{4}$

$P(A)\cdot P(C)=\frac{1}{4}$

$P(A)\cdot P(B)=P(A\cap B)$

Therefore, A and B are independent

$P(B)\cdot P(C)=P(B\cap C)$

Therefore, B and C are independent

$P(A\cap C)=P(A)\cdot P(C)$

Therefore, A and C are independent.

Hence, A, B and C are pairwise independent.
