A rectangular yard is 20 yards wide and 40 yards long. It is surrounded by a thick hedge that grows on the border of the propert

y, but completely within the boundaries of the yard. If the hedge covers an area of 171 square yards, what is the width of the hedge?

Answer:

$W_{h}= 4.275yd$

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

wide=20yd

length=40yd

Hedge area $A_{h}$ = $171yd^{2}$

If the area of rectangle is A=base * hight and our case L*W. then:

$A_{h}=171yd^{2}=40yd*W_{h}$

So $W_{h}=\frac{A_{h} }{L} =171yd^{2}/40yd=4.275yd$

What is the sign of f on the interval -2

TEA [102]

Answer:

$f$ is sometimes positive and sometimes negative.

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(x)=(x-3)(x+2)(x+4)(x+4)(x-1)(2x-9)$

Take $x=-1\in(-2,\frac{9}{2})\ as-2$

$f(-1)=(-1-3)(-1+2)(-1+4)(-1-1)(-2-9)\\\\=(-4)(1)(3)(-2)(-11)\\\\=-264\\\\f(-1)$

Take $x=2\in(-2,\frac{9}{2})\ as\ -2$

$f(2)=(2,-3)(2+2)(2+4)(2-1)(2\times2-9)\\\\=(-1)(4)(6)(1)(-5)\\\\=120\\\\f(2)>0$

Hence $f(x)$ for $x=-1$ and $f(x)>0$ for $x=2$

So $f$ is sometimes positive and sometimes negative in the interval.

Let a, b, c, and d be real numbers with a, c 6= 0. Prove that the lines y = ax+b and y = cx + d have the same x-intercept if and

Monica [59]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have got the lines :

$y=ax+b\\y=cx+d$

Both lines intercept the x-axis in the point :

$I = (i_{1} ,i_{2})$

In all point from x-axis the y-component is equal to 0.

$I=(i_{1},o)$

We replace the I point in the lines equations:

$0=a(i_{1})+b \\0=c(i_{1})+d$

From the first equation :

$0=a(i_{1})+b \\-b=a(i_{1})\\i_{1}=\frac{-b}{a}$

From the second equation :

$0=c(i_{1})+d\\ -d=c(i_{1})\\i_{1}=\frac{-d}{c}$

Then $i_{1}=i_{1}$

Finally :

$\frac{-b}{a}=\frac{-d}{c} \\\frac{b}{a}=\frac{d}{c} \\ad=bc$

y = ax + b and y = cx + d have the same x-intercept ⇔ad=bc

The histogram shows the speeds of downhill skiers during a competition. Estimate the mean of the data set displayed in the histo

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

≈50.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Not sure what precision level this problem is looking for, but for right-skewed distributions, we know that the mean is going to be pulled right and therefore the mean should be larger than the median. To a high confidence level, the mean should fall between 50 and 59, or in the third column.

If a single estimation is wanted, assume the values inside each column are uniformly distributed:

$\displaystyle\\\widehat{\mu}=\frac{34.5\cdot 4+...+74.5\cdot 2}{4+9+4+4+2}\approx \boxed{50.6}$
