Answer:

42.25 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a square is P = 4s.

26 = 4s

26/4 = s

6.5 = s

The side length of the square is 6.5 units.

The area of a square is A = s²

6.5²

= 42.25

The area of the square is 42.25 units².

A man travels 20 km by car from Town P to Town Q at an average speed of x km/h. He finds that the time of the journey would be s

yuradex [85]

Answer:

x = 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you should remember the relation:

Distance = Speed*Time.

First, we know that a man travels a distance of 20km at a speed of x km/h, in a time T.

We can write this as:

20km = (x km/h)*T

We know that the time is shortened by 12 minutes if the speed is increased by 5km/h

Rewriting these 12 minutes in hours (remember that 60min = 1 hour)

12 min = (12/60) hours = 0.2 hours

Then from this, he can travel the same distance of 20km in a time T minus 0.2 hours if the speed is increased by 5 km/h

We can write this as:

20km = (x + 5 km/h)*(T - 0.2 h)

Then we have a system of two equations, and we want to find the value of x:

20km = (x km/h)*T

20km = (x + 5 km/h)*(T - 0.2 h)

First, we should isolate the variable T in one of the equations, if we isolate it in the first one, we will get:

20km/(x km/h) = T

Replacing that in the other equation we get:

20km = (x + 5 km/h)*(T - 0.2 h)

20km = (x + 5 km/h)*( 20km/(x km/h) - 0.2 h)

Now we can solve this for x.

Removing the units (that we know that are correct) so the math is easier to read, we get:

20 = (x + 5)*(20/x - 0.2)

We only want to solve this for x.

20 = x*20/x - x*0.2 + 5*20/x - 5*0.2

20 = 20 - 0.2*x + 100/x - 1

subtracting 20 in both sides we get:

20 - 20 = 20 - 0.2*x + 100/x - 1 - 20

0 = -0.2*x + 100/x - 1

If we multiply both sides by x we get:

0 = -0.2*x^2 + 100 - x

-0.2*x^2 - x + 100 = 0

This is just a quadratic equation, we can solve it using the Bhaskara's equation, the solutions are:

$x = \frac{-(-1) \pm \sqrt{(-1)^2 - 4*(-0.2)*100} }{2*-0.2} = \frac{1 \pm 9 }{-0.4}$

Then the two solutions are:

x = (1 + 9)/-0.4 = -25

x = (1 - 9)/-0.4 = 20

As x is used to represent a speed, the negative solution does not make sense, so we should use the positive one.

x = 20

then the average speed initially is 20 km/h

The length of a rectangle is 4 more than it's width. Write an equation that will determine the dimensions if the area of the rec

Firdavs [7]

Answer: The equation is W^2 + 4W - 96= 0

{Please note that ^2 means raised to the power of 2}

Step-by-step explanation: We have been given hints as to the measurement of the length and width of the rectangle. The length is given as four more than the width. What that means is that whatever is the width, we simply add four to get the measurement of the length. Therefore if the width is W, then the length is W + 4.

That is,

L = W + 4 and

W = W

Also we have the area given as 96.

Remember that the area of a rectangle is given as

Area = L x W.

In this question, the Area is expressed as

Area = (W + 4) x W

96 = W^2 + 4W

Subtract 96 from both sides of the equation and we have

W^2 + 4W - 96 = 0.

We now have a quadratic equation from which we can determine the dimensions of the rectangle

The equation of line AB is (y-3) = 5(x-4) what is the slope

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

slope = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

y - 3 = 5(x - 4) ← is in point- slope form

with slope m = 5

A taxi company charges a $2.00 base fare plus an additional fare based on a per-mile rate and a per-minute rate. Ryan's first ta

Fed [463]

A $2.00 base fare charge, and per-mile, and per-minute rates related as follows; 3•x + 7•y = 6.5 and 7•x + 14•y = 14, give the distance traveled in the third ride as 4.5 miles

<h3>How can the length of the third ride be calculated?</h3>

The base fare = $2.00

Let x represent the per-mile rate, and let y represent the per-minute rate, we have;

The cost of Ryan's first taxi ride = $8.50

Distance traveled in the first ride = 3.0 miles

Time taken during the first ride = 7 minutes

Therefore;

2 + 3•x + 7•y = 8.5

Which gives;

3•x + 7•y = 8.5 - 2 = 6.5

3•x + 7•y = 6.5...(1)

Distance traveled in the second ride = 7.0 miles

Duration of the second ride = 14 minutes

The second ride cost = $16.00

Therefore;

2 + 7•x + 14•y = 16

Which gives;

7•x + 14•y = 16 - 2 = 14

7•x + 14•y = 14...(2)

Solving the above simultaneous equations by multiplying equation (1) by 2 then subtracting the result from equation (2) gives;

(7•x + 14•y) - 2 × (3•x + 7•y) = 14 - 2×6.5 = 1

x = 1

The per-mile rate, x = $1

3•x + 7•y = 6.5

7•y = 6.5 - 3•x

7•y = 6.5 - 3×1 = 3.5

y = 3.5/7 = 1/2 = 0.5

The per-minute rate, y = $0.5

Duration of the third taxi ride = 10 minutes

Cost of the third ride = $13.50

Therefore;

2 + 1×a + 10×y = $13.50

Where a is the distance traveled during the third ride, we have;

2 + 1×a + 10×0.5 = $13.50

2 + a + 5 = 13.5

a = 13.5 - 2 - 7 = 4.5

The third ride was, a = 4.5 miles

Determine an equation of a Quadratic function

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

y = -4x² + 32x - 48

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of a quadratic equation is

y = ax² + bx + c

We must find the equation that passes through the points:

(2, 0), (6,0), and (3, 12)

We can substitute these values and get three equations in three unknowns.

0 = a(2²) + b(2) + c

0 = a(6²) + b(6) + c

12 = a(3²) + b(3) + c

We can simplify these to get the system of equations:

(1) 0 = 4a + 2b + c

(2) 0 = 36a + 6b + c

(3) 12 = 9a + 3b + c

Eliminate c from equations (1) and (2). Subtract (1) from (2).

(4) 0 = 32a + 4b

Eliminate c from equations (2) and (3). Subtract (3) from (2).

(5) -12 = 27a - 3b

Simplify equations (4) and (5).

(6) 0 = 8a + b

(7) -4 = 9a - b

Eliminate b by adding equations (6) and (7).

(8) a = -4

Substitute (4) into (6).

0 = -32 + b

(9) b = 32

Substitute a and b into (1)

0 = 4(-4) + 2(32) + c

0 = -16 + 64 + c

0 = 48 + c

c = -48

The coefficients are

a= -4, b = 32, c = -48

The quadratic equation is

y = -4x² + 32x - 48

The diagram below shows the graph of your quadratic equation and the three points through which it passes.
