The area of a rectangle is A=LW, the area of a square is A=S^2.

W=S-2 and L=2S-3

And we are told that the areas of each figure are the same.

S^2=LW, using L and W found above we have:

S^2=(2S-3)(S-2)  perform indicated multiplication on right side

S^2=2S^2-4S-3S+6  combine like terms on right side

S^2=2S^2-7S+6  subtract S^2 from both sides

S^2-7S+6=0  factor:

S^2-S-6S+6=0

S(S-1)-6(S-1)=0

(S-6)(S-1)=0, since W=S-2, and W>0, S>2 so:

S=6 is the only valid value for S.  Now we can find the dimensions of the rectangle...

W=S-2 and L=2S-3  given that S=6 in

W=4 in and L=9 in

So the width of the rectangle is 4 inches and the length of the rectangle is 9 inches.

Answer:

a) 0.1165

b) 0.0983

c) 0.000455

d) 0.787

e) 0.767

Step-by-step explanation:

5 ​bars, 4 ​lemons, 3 ​cherries, and a bell

Total = 5+4+3+1 = 13

The probability of getting a bar on a slot, P(Ba) = 5/13 = 0.385

A lemon, P(L) = 4/13 = 0.308

A cherry, P(C) = 3/13 = 0.231

A bell, P(Be) = 1/13 = 0.0769

a) Probability of getting 3 lemons = (4/13) × (4/13) × (4/13) = 256/2197 = 0.1165

b) Probability of getting no fruit symbol

On each slot, there are 4+3 = 7 fruit symbols.

Probability of getting a fruit symbol On a slot = 7/13

Probability of not getting a fruit symbol = 1 - (7/13) = 6/13 = 0.462

Probability of not getting a fruit symbol On the three slots = 0.462 × 0.462 × 0.462 = 0.0983

c) Probability of getting 3 bells, the jackpot = (1/13) × (1/13) × (1/13) = 1/2197 = 0.000455

d) Probability of not getting a bell on the 3 slots

Probability of not getting a bell on one slot = 1 - (1/13) = 12/13 = 0.923

Probability of not getting a bell on the 3 slots = (12/13) × (12/13) × (12/13) = 1728/2197 = 0.787

e) Probability of at least one bar is a sum of probabilities

Note that Probability of getting a bar = 5/13 and probability of not getting a bar = 8/13

1) Probability of getting 1 bar and other stuff on the 2 other slots (this can happen in 3 different orders) = 3 × (5/13)×(8/13)×(8/13) = 960/2197 = 0.437

2) Probability of getting 2 bars and other stuff on the remaining slot (this can also occur in 3 different orders) = 3 × (5/13)×(5/13)×(8/13) = 600/2197 = 0.273

3) Probability of getting 3 bars on the slots machine = (5/13) × (5/13) × (5/13) = 125/2197 = 0.0569

Probability of at least one bar = 0.437 + 0.273 + 0.0569 = 0.7669 = 0.767

(X^3+1)dividend (x-1)
bazaltina [42]

x^3=x\cdot x^2 and x^2(x-1)=x^3-x^2. So we have a remainder of

(x^3+1)-(x^3-x^2)=x^2+1

x^2=x\cdot x and x(x-1)=x^2-x. Subtracting this from the previous remainder gives a new remainder

(x^2+1)-(x^2-x)=x+1

x=x\cdot1 and 1(x-1)=x-1. Subtracting this from the previous remainder gives a new one of

(x+1)-(x-1)=2

and we're done since 2 does not divide x. So we have

\dfrac{x^3+1}{x-1}=x^2+x+1+\dfrac2{x-1}
