A = L * W
A = 320
L = W + 4

320 = W(W + 4)
320 = W^2 + 4W
W^2 + 4W = 320
W^2 + 4W + 4 = 320 + 4
(W + 2)^2 = 324
W + 2 = (+-) sqrt 324
W = -2 (+-) 18

W = -2 + 18 = 16 ft <== this is the width
W = -2 - 18 = -20....not this one because it is negative

L = W + 4
L = 16 + 4
L = 20 ft <=== this is the length

in summary...the width is 16 ft and the length is 20 ft

What are the period and amplitude of the function?
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

The period of function is 5 and amplitude is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>The period of the function is the time interval after which it repeats itself.</em>

It means the time interval after which the same value of graph is attained.

In the above case looking at the peak point at time 5 seconds, the same value is obtained at time 10 seconds.

Thus the time interval is (10 - 5) 5 seconds.

<em>Amplitude is the maximum value attained by the graph in the complete interval.</em>

In the above case, the maximum value attained is 3.

Q7.
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c = sum of ages of all children.

mean age of all children = c/15 = 7

c = 15 * 7 = 105

The sum of the ages of all children is 105.

Let b = sum of ages of the 9 boys.

mean age of boys = b/9 = 5

b = 9 * 5 = 45

The sum of the ages of the boys is 45.

The sum of the ages of the girls is c - b.

c - b = 105 - 45 = 60

The number of girls is 15 - 9 = 6

mean age of girls = (sum of ages of the girls)/(number of girls) =

= 60/6 = 10
