Given/equations formed from text:
I: l=w+3
II: A=l*w
III: new area B=(l-2)*w
IV: B=A-30

substitute l in II with I to remove l:
II': A=l*w=
(w+3)*w=
w^2+3w

substitute l in III with I to remove l:
III': B=(l-2)*w=
(w+3-2)*w=
(w+1)*w=
w^2+w

substitute A and B from II' and III' into IV:
B=A-30
w^2+w=w^2+3w-30
30=2w
w=15

insert w=15 into I:
l=15+3=18
->
A) dimensions of full size rectangle are width 15 and length 18
dimensions of reduced size rectangle are width 15 and length 16

B) full size: 15*18=10*18+5*18=180+90=270cm^2
reduced size: 15*16=10*16+5*16=160+80=240cm^2

What is the amplitude of the cosine function corresponding to the secant function graphed below ? a. -2 b. -1 c. 2 d. 3
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph, we obtain the trigonometric function as:

y=2 \sec x+1

The corresponding cosine function have equation.

y=2\cos x+ 1

This function is of the form: y=a\cos bx+c

where |a| is the amplitude.

Therefore the amplitude is |2|=2

The third choice is correct

A lighthouse has a shadow that is 36 feet long. Zara is 4 feet tall, and she is standing next to the lighthouse. Zara has a shad
pychu [463]

Answer:

48 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

At a particular time, objects and their shadows are proportionate.

Therefore, in figure,

AB/FD = BC/DE --- (1)

where AB is the height of the lighthouse, BC, its shadow and FD is the height of Zara and DE is her shadow.

From the given information,

BC = 36 feet

FD = 4 feet and DE = 3 feet

(1) becomes

AB/4 = 36/3

AB = 12

AB = 48

Hence, the height of the lighthouse is 48 feet.

8х + 5у = -7<br> — 7х + бу = — 4
Levart [38]

Answer: x = -0.2651 and y = -0.9759

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution by substitution method

8x+5y= -7

-7x+6y= -4 = 7x-6y=4

Suppose,

8x+5y=-7→(1)

7x-6y=4→(2)

Taking equation (1), we have

8x+5y= -7

⇒8x= -5y -7

⇒x= -5y-7 / 8 →(3)

Putting x= -5y-7 / 8

in equation (2), we get 7x-6y=4

7(-5y-7/8)-6y=4

⇒-35y-49-48y=32

⇒-83y-49=32

⇒-83y=32+49

⇒-83y=81

⇒y= 81 / -83

⇒y= -0.9759→(4)

Now, Putting y= -0.9759 in equation (3), we get

x= -5y-7

x= -5(-0.9759)-7/8

⇒x= 4.8795-7/8

⇒x= -2.1205/8

⇒x= -0.2651

∴x= -0.2651 and y = -0.9759
