Answer:width is 9ft

Length is 12 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L represent the length of the rectangle.

Let W represent the width of the rectangle.

The area of a triangle is expressed as length, L × Width, W.

Area of the rectangular pen is 108 ft^2. Therefore,

LW = 108 - - - - - - - 1

if the width is 3 feet less than the length, it means that

W = L - 3

Substituting W = L - 3 into equation 1, it becomes

L(L - 3) = 108

L^2 - 3L = 108

L^2 - 3L- 108 = 0

L^2 + 9L- 12L - 108 = 0

L(L + 9) - 12(L + 9) = 0

L - 12 = 0 or L + 9= 0

L = 12 or L = - 9

The length cannot be negative,

so Length = 12ft

W = 108/L = 108/12 = 9 ft

you have 200 grams of a radioactive kind of iodine how much will ne left after 120 days if its half life is 60 days?
ElenaW [278]

By definition, the half life is a quantity is the time it takes to lose half of that quantity.

So, if the half life is 60 days, it means that after 60 days you have lost half the initial amount, i.e. you're left with 100 grams.

After another 60 days, you've lost, again, half of that amount, so you're left with 50 grams.

In other words, every time a half life period passes, you're left with half the quantity you had at the beginning of that period.

So, after two half-life periods (i.e. 120 days), you'll have half of the half of the initial quantity, i.e. one quarter.

Write an inequality for the graph.
kap26 [50]

Answer:

y ≤ |x – 5| + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph below has the vertex (5,5). This means that in the equation the function has been shifted up by addition of 5 and shifted right by subtraction of 5. This means y ≤ |x – 5| + 5 or y ≥ |x – 5| + 5 are the only options.

To determine, test a point from the shaded region like (0,0).

y ≤ |x – 5| + 5 is the solution.
