Let x be the width 
2x-3= length 

(2x-3)(x)=14
2x^2-3x=14 
2x^2-3x-14=0 
(2x- 7)(x+2)=0 
x=7/2 or x=-2

Since we know that negative values cannot exist in distance, we have to take 7/2 to as the correct answer. 

The width would be 3.5 yards 
Length= 2(3.5)-3 
=4 yards 

3.5 x 4 yards is the dimension of the rectangle 

Hope I helped :)

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

(1\frac{1}{2},1) - False

(4,6) - True

(18,12) -- False

(0,0) -- True

(2\frac{1}{2},3\frac{3}{4}) -- True

Step-by-step explanation:

The points are

(1\frac{1}{2},1) , (4,6), (18,12), (0,0) and (2\frac{1}{2},3\frac{3}{4}) ---- missing from the question

Given

y = 1\frac{1}{2}x

Required

Determine if each of the points would be on y = 1\frac{1}{2}x

To do this, we simply substitute the value of x and of each point in y = 1\frac{1}{2}x.

(a) (1\frac{1}{2},1)

In this case;

x = 1\frac{1}{2} and y = 1

y = 1\frac{1}{2}x becomes

y = 1\frac{1}{2} * 1\frac{1}{2}

y = \frac{3}{2} * \frac{3}{2}

y = \frac{9}{4}

y = 2\frac{1}{4}

<em>The point </em>(1\frac{1}{2},1)<em>  won't be on the graph because the corresponding value of y for </em>x = 1\frac{1}{2}<em> is </em>y = 2\frac{1}{4}<em></em>

(b) (4,6)

In this case;

x = 4

y = 6

y = 1\frac{1}{2}x becomes

y = 1\frac{1}{2} * 4

y = \frac{3}{2} * 4

y = \frac{3* 4}{2}

y = \frac{12}{2}

y = 6

<em>The point </em>(4,6)<em>  would be on the graph because the corresponding value of y for </em>x = 4 is y = 6

(c) (18,12)

In this case:

x = 18;y = 12

y = 1\frac{1}{2}x becomes

y = 1\frac{1}{2} * 18

y = \frac{3}{2} * 18

y = \frac{3* 18}{2}

y = \frac{54}{2}

y = 27

<em>The point </em>(18,12)<em>  wouldn't be on the graph because the corresponding value of y for </em>x = 18<em> is </em>y = 12<em></em>

(d) (0,0)

In this case;

x =0; y = 0

y = 1\frac{1}{2}x becomes

y = 1\frac{1}{2} * 0

y = 0

<em>The point </em>(0,0)<em>  would be on the graph because the corresponding value of y for </em>x = 0 is y = 0

(e) (2\frac{1}{2},3\frac{3}{4})

In this case:

x = 2\frac{1}{2}; y = 3\frac{3}{4}

y = 1\frac{1}{2}x becomes

y = 1\frac{1}{2} * 2\frac{1}{2}

y = \frac{3}{2} * \frac{5}{2}

y = \frac{15}{4}

y = 3\frac{3}{4}

<em>The point </em>(2\frac{1}{2},3\frac{3}{4}) <em>  would be on the graph because the corresponding value of y for </em>x = 2\frac{1}{2} is y = 3\frac{3}{4}

Suppose that you randomly draw one card from a standard deck of 52 cards. After writing down which card was drawn, you replace t
34kurt

Answer:

The probability is 0.0775

The expected value is 4.75 clubs

The standard deviation is 1.8875 clubs

Step-by-step explanation:

The variable X follows a binomial distribution, because we have n identical and independent events (19 cards) with a probability p of success and 1-p of fail (there is a probability of 1/4 to be club and 3/4 to be diamond, heart or spade). Then, the probability that x of the n cards are club is:

P(x)=\frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}*p^{x}*(1-p)^{n-x}\\P(x)=\frac{19!}{x!(19-x)!}*0.25^{x}*(0.75)^{19-x}

So, the probability P of drawing at least 8 clubs is:

P = P(8) + P(9) + P(10) + ... + P(18) + P(19)

Replacing, the values of x, from 8 to 19, on the equation above, we get:

P = 0.0775

Additionally, the expected value E(x) and standard deviationS(x) for this distribution is given by:

E(x)=np = 19(0.25) = 4.75

S(x)=\sqrt{np(1-p)} =\sqrt{19(0.25)(0.75)} =1.8875

Find f. f ''(x) = −2 + 36x − 12x2, f(0) = 8, f '(0) = 18 f(x) =
Alik [6]
Integrate <span>f ''(x) = −2 + 36x − 12x2 with respect to x:

f '(x) = -2x + (36/2)x^2 - (12/3)x^3 + c.  Find c by letting x = 0 and using f(0)=8.

Then f '(0) = -2x + 18x^2 - 4x^3 + c = 18 (which was given).

Then             -0      + 0      - 0 + c = 18, so c = 18 and 

f '(x) = </span>-2x + 18x^2 - 4x^3 + 18.

Go through the same integration process to find f(x).
