Answer: length = 8 units

Width = 6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L represent the length of the rectangular garden.

Let W represent the width of the rectangular garden.

The length of a rectangle is 2 units more than the width. This means that

L = W + 2

The area of the rectangle is 48 units. This means that

LW = 48- - - - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting L = W + 2 into equation 1, it becomes

W(W + 2) = 48

W² + 2W = 48

W² + 2W - 48 = 0

W² + 8W - 6W - 48 = 0

W(W + 8) - 6(W + 8) = 0

W - 6 = 0 or W + 8 = 0

W = 6 or W = 8

Since the width of the rectangle cannot be negative, then W = 6

L = W + 2 = 6 + 2

L = 8

1 1/4 subtracted from its reciprocal is :<br> A -9/20. B - 1/20. C 1/5. D - 1/5
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

first we turn ur mixed number into an improper fraction

1 1/4 = 5/4

the reciprocal of 5/4 can be found by just flipping it....so the reciprocal is gonna be 4/5

so 1 1/4 subtracted from its reciprocal is :

4/5 - 5/4 =

16/20 - 25/20 =

- 9/20 <====

tres hermanos danvueltas circuito en bicicleta. el mayor tarda 18 en dar Una vuelta el del medio 24 minutos yel menos 36 minutos
hodyreva [135]
Tienes que hallar el mínimo común múltiplo de las 3 cantidades.

18= 2×3²
24= 2³×3
36= 2²×3²

mcm(18,24,36) = 2³×3²=8×9= 72

Eso quier decir que si partieron a la misma hora se encontraran  de nuevo en el punto de partida 72 minutos después de la salida.

Las vueltas que habrán realizado será el resultado de dividir 72 entre el tiempo que tardan en dar una vuelta

<span>Mayor: </span>  = 4

<span>Mediano: </span>  = 3

<span>Pequeño: </span>  =  2

Soluciónes:

se vuelven a encontrar a los 72 min de la salida
<span>El mayor dió 4 vueltas, el mediano 3 y el pequeño 2</span>

Answer:

(x - 1)²/4² - (y - 2)²/2² = 1 ⇒ The bold labels are the choices

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve this problem

- The equation of the hyperbola is x² - 4y² - 2x + 16y - 31 = 0

- The standard form of the equation of hyperbola is

  (x - h)²/a² - (y - k)²/b² = 1 where a > b

- So lets collect x in a bracket and make it a completing square and

  also collect y in a bracket and make it a completing square

∵ x² - 4y² - 2x + 16y - 31 = 0

∴ (x² - 2x) + (-4y² + 16y) - 31 = 0

- Take from the second bracket -4 as a common factor

∴ (x² - 2x) + -4(y² - 4y) - 31 = 0

∴ (x² - 2x) - 4(y² - 4y) - 31 = 0

- Lets make (x² - 2x) completing square

∵ √x² = x

∴ The 1st term in the bracket is x

∵ 2x ÷ 2 = x

∴ The product of the 1st term and the 2nd term is x

∵ The 1st term is x

∴ the second term = x ÷ x = 1

∴ The bracket is (x - 1)²

∵  (x - 1)² = (x² - 2x + 1)

∴ To complete the square add 1 to the bracket and subtract 1 out

   the bracket to keep the equation as it

∴ (x² - 2x + 1) - 1

- We will do the same withe bracket of y

- Lets make 4(y² - 4y) completing square

∵ √y² = y

∴ The 1st term in the bracket is x

∵ 4y ÷ 2 = 2y

∴ The product of the 1st term and the 2nd term is 2y

∵ The 1st term is y

∴ the second term = 2y ÷ y = 2

∴ The bracket is 4(y - 2)²

∵ 4(y - 2)² = 4(y² - 4y + 4)

∴ To complete the square add 4 to the bracket and subtract 4 out

   the bracket to keep the equation as it

∴ 4[y² - 4y + 4) - 4]

- Lets put the equation after making the completing square

∴ (x - 1)² - 1 - 4[(y - 2)² - 4] - 31 = 0 ⇒ simplify

∴ (x - 1)² - 1 - 4(y - 2)² + 16 - 31 = 0 ⇒ add the numerical terms

∴ (x - 1)² - 4(y - 2)² - 16 = 0 ⇒ add 14 to both sides

∴ (x - 1)² - 4(y - 2)² = 16 ⇒ divide both sides by 16

∴ (x - 1)²/16 - (y - 2)²/4 = 1

∵ 16 = (4)² and 4 = (2)²

∴ The standard form of the equation of the hyperbola is

   (x - 1)²/4² - (y - 2)²/2² = 1
