1. The information given in the problem is:

 - <span>The length of a rectangular garden is 8 feet longer than the width.
 - </span><span>The garden is surrounded by a 4-foot sidewalk.
 - The area of the sidewalk is 320 ft</span>².

 2. So, the length of the rectangular garden is:

 L1=8+W1

 3. The formula for calculate the area of the sidewalk, is:

 A2=L2xW2

 "A2" is the area of the sidewalk (A2=320 ft²).

 "L2" is the length of the sidewalk.

 "W2" is the widht of the sidewalk.

 4. The length of the sidewalk (L2) is:

 L2=L1+4+4    (4 feet on each side)
 L2=L1+8

 5. When you substitute L1=8+W1 into the equation L2=L1+8, you obtain:

 L2=8+W1+8
 L2=W1+16

 6. The widht of the sidewalk is:

 W2=W1+4+4
 W2=W1+8

 7. Now, you must substitute the length and the widht of the sidewalk into the formula A2=L2xW2:

 A2=L2xW2
 A2=(W1+16)(W1+8)
 320=W1²+16W1+8W1+128
 W1²+16W1+8W1+128-320=0
 W1²+16W1+8W1-192=0

 8. When you solve the quadratic equation, you obtain the value of W1:

 W1=16.97 ft

 9. Finally, you must substitute the value of W1 into the formula L1=8+W1:

 L1=8+W1
 L1=8+16.97 
 L1=24.97 ft

 10. Therefore, the dimensions of the garden are:

 L1=24.97 ft
 W1=16.97 ft

Let X represent the time it takes from when someone enters the line for a roller coaster until they exit on the other side. Cons
Yuri [45]

Answer:

a. E(x) = 3.730

b. c = 3.8475

c. 0.4308

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

Given

0 x < 3

F(x) = (x-3)/1.13, 3 < x < 4.13

1 x > 4.13

Calculating E(x)

First, we'll calculate the pdf, f(x).

f(x) is the derivative of F(x)

So, if F(x) = (x-3)/1.13

f(x) = F'(x) = 1/1.13, 3 < x < 4.13

E(x) is the integral of xf(x)

xf(x) = x * 1/1.3 = x/1.3

Integrating x/1.3

E(x) = x²/(2*1.13)

E(x) = x²/2.26 , 3 < x < 4.13

E(x) = (4.13²-3²)/2.16

E(x) = 3.730046296296296

E(x) = 3.730 (approximated)

b.

What is the value c such that P(X < c) = 0.75

First, we'll solve F(c)

F(c) = P(x<c)

F(c) = (c-3)/1.13= 0.75

c - 3 = 1.13 * 0.75

c - 3 = 0.8475

c = 3 + 0.8475

c = 3.8475

c.

What is the probability that X falls within 0.28 minutes of its mean?

Here we'll solve for

P(3.73 - 0.28 < X < 3.73 + 0.28)

= F(3.73 + 0.28) - F(3.73 + 0.28)

= 2*0.28/1.3 = 0.430769

= 0.4308 -- Approximated

The goal is not only to model the vector with 2 - D and to determine its important parameters, but also to examine the impact in the implementation. That is, Ogden's material parameters, element type, element size, and loading type.

The output of a function or relation, or the set of y-values that a graph is defined for, is called the ___.
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

Range

Step-by-step explanation:

The range of a graph tells you <u>all of the possible y-values</u> for it.

There is also the domain, which tells you all of the possible x-values.

For example, if you have this relation, that only has these points:

(1, 2) (2, 4) (3, 6)

Then the range is {2, 4, 6}. This means the "y" can ONLY be the numbers stated here.

The domain would be {1, 2, 3}.

What is the distance between the points (-4,-8) and (10,-8)?
ioda

Answer: 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Input Data :

Point 1  ( x A , y A )  = (-4, -8)

Point 2  ( x B , y B )  = (10, -8)

Objective :

Find the distance between two given points on a line?

Formula :

Distance between two points =  √ (x B − x A ) 2 + ( y B − y A ) 2

Solution :

Distance between two points =  √ ( 10 −  − 4 ) 2 + ( − 8 −  − 8 ) 2

=  √ 14 ^2 + 0 ^2

=  √ 196 + 0

=  √ 196 = 14

Distance between points (-4, -8) and (10, -8) is 14
