On any given day, the number of users, u, that access a certain website can be represented by the inequality 125-4530
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Our inequality is |125-u| ≤ 30. Let's separate this into two. Assuming that (125-u) is positive, we have 125-u ≤ 30, and if we assume that it's negative, we'd have -(125-u)≤30, or u-125≤30.

Therefore, we now have two inequalities to solve for:

125-u ≤ 30

u-125≤30

For the first one, we can subtract 125 and add u to both sides, resulting in

0 ≤ u-95, or 95≤u. Therefore, that is our first inequality.

The second one can be figured out by adding 125 to both sides, so u ≤ 155.

Remember that we took these two inequalities from an absolute value -- as a result, they BOTH must be true in order for the original inequality to be true. Therefore,

u ≥ 95

and

u ≤ 155

combine to be

95 ≤ u ≤ 155, or the 4th option

You spent $175 on a pair of shoes and three shirts. Each shirt cost the same amount. The shoes cost four times the amount of one
sergey [27]

Step-by-step explanation:

1. making the equation:

shoes = x

shirts = y

175 = x + 3y

x = 4y

2. graph it (I'm using desmos)

the green line is for 175 = x + 3y and the purple one is for x = 4y

3. find the price

x = 4y

175 = 4y + 3y

175 = 7y

y = 175/7 = $25

price of the shirt = $25

x = 4y = 4*25 = $100

price of a pair of shoes = $100

Find the sum of the first one hundred positive integers. see fig 6.26
nignag [31]
Here's a pattern to consider:
1+100=101
2+99=101
3+98=101
4+97=101
5+96=101
.....
This question relates to the discovery of Gauss, a mathematician. He found out that if you split 100 from 1-50 and 51-100, you could add them from each end to get a sum of 101. As there are 50 sets of addition, then the total is 50×101=5050
So, the sum of the first 100 positive integers is 5050.

Quick note
We can use a formula to find out the sum of an arithmetic series:
s =  \frac{n(n + 1)}{2}
Where s is the sum of the series and n is the number of terms in the series. It works for the above problem.

The length of a rectangle is 6 more than twice the width. if the area is 40 cm^2, find the length and breadth of the rectangle
ra1l [238]

Answer: 3.217 & 12.434

Step-by-step explanation:

If we use <em>w</em> to represent the width, the length will be 6 more than 2 times w.

Hence, the length is 2w+6.

The area of a rectangle would be its length times its width, so let's make an equation to represent it's area.

A=w(2w+6)

We can also substitute 40 in for A as it's given in the question.

40 = w(2w+6)

Distributing <em>w</em> by multiplying it by both terms in the parentheses, we get

40 = 2w^2+6w

We can make the equation simpler by dividing both sides by 2.

20 = w^2+3w

Subtracting both sides by 20 will make the left-hand side 0.

0=w^2+3w-20

Now that we have put this <em>quadratic equation</em> into standard form (ax²+bx+c), we can find its solutions using the quadratic formula.

For reference, the quadratic formula is

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

In this case, a is 1, b is 3, and c is -20.

Substituting, we get

w=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt{3^2-4(1)(-20)}}{2(1)}

w= \frac{-3\pm\sqrt{9+80}}{2}

w=\frac{-3+\sqrt{89}}{2}\hspace{0.1cm}or\hspace{0.1cm}\frac{-3-\sqrt{89}}{2}

Since the second solution results in a negative number, it cannot be the length of w.

w=\frac{-3+\sqrt{89}}{2}\approx3.217

The width/breadth of the rectangle is 3.217 cm.

To calculate the length, let's substitute the width into the expression for the length:

l=2(3.217)+6

l=12.434

The length of this rectangle is 12.434 cm.
