Define x :
------------------------------------------------------
Let the width be x.

------------------------------------------------------
Find Area of the walkway :
------------------------------------------------------
Area = 30x + 30x + 20x + 20x + 4x²       
Area = 100x + 4x²

------------------------------------------------------
Find cost of the walkway in term of x:
------------------------------------------------------
1m² = $10
100x + 4x² = 10(4x² + 100x)
(100x + 4x²)m = $(40x² + 1000x)

------------------------------------------------------
Find Width of the walkway :
------------------------------------------------------
The budget is $6000

40x² + 1000x = 6000
40x² + 1000x - 6000 = 0
x² + 25x -150 = 0              //Divide by 40 through
(x - 5)(x + 30) = 0             //Factorise
x = 5 or x = -30 (Rejected, width cannot be negative)

------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The width can be 5m wide.

Given the Function:
sergey [27]
F(x)=-2e^x
x=3
f(3)=-2e^3
pemdas so exponents first
e^3
e=2.718281828454590
cube that
20.0855

now we have
-2 times 20.0855=-40.1711

answer should be -40.1711
(I see what you did wrong, if -6=-2 times e^3, divide -2, 3=e^3, maybe you just put -2 times 3 by mistake)

Suppose the correlation between height and weight for adults is +0.40. What proportion (or percent) of the variability in weight
Schach [20]

Answer:

We are given the correlation between height and weight for adults is 0.40.

We need to find the proportion of the variability in weight that can be explained by the relationship with height.

We know that coefficient of determination or R-square measures the proportion or percent of variability in dependent variable that can be explained by the relationship with independent  variable. There the coefficient of determination is given below:

R^{2}=r^{2}=0.40^{2}=0.16

Therefore, the 0.16 or 16% of the variability in weight can be explained by the relationship with height

Jose asks his friends to guess the higher of two grades he received on his math tests. He gives them two hints. The difference o
tatyana61 [14]

Answer : 96

x – y = 16 --------> equation 1

1/8 x + 1/2 y = 52

x is the higher grade and y is the lower grade

We solve the first equation for y

x - y = 16

-y = 16 -x ( divide each term by -1)

y = -16 + x

Now substitute y in second equation

1/8 x + 1/2 ( -16 + x ) = 52

1/8x - 8 + 1/2 x = 52

1/8x + 1/2x - 8 = 52

Take common denominator to combine fractions

1/8x + 4/8x -8 = 52

5/8x - 8 = 52

Add 8 on both sides

5/8x = 60

Multiply both sides by 8/5

x = 96

We know x is the higher grade

96 is the higher grade of Jose’s two tests.
