The width of a rectangle is the length minus 3 units. The area of the rectangle is 10

Mathematics

Answer:

w=2

Step-by-step explanation:

A=length times width (A=lw)

w= l-3

A=10

Substituting in, we get:

10= l(l-3)

Now, solve the equation.

10= l^{2}-3l

l^{2}-3l-10=0

(l+2) (l-5)=0 (factoring the equation)

Therefore, l= -2 or 5

Throw out the negative value because a length of rectangle will never be negative.

Now let's solve for width

Remember w=l-3

therefore

(5)-3=2

so, w=2

(honestly, this is easier to just do in your head. But here is the long form math if you happen to run into more complicated problems.)

A city has a population of 280,000 people. suppose that each year the population grows by 4.5% . what will the population be aft
Anastasy [175]

Given that population of the city is 280000.

Rate of growth of the population = r = 4.5% = 0.045

We have to find population after 15 years so time

t = 15

We can use growth formula to find the required population which is given by :

A=P(1+r)^t

Where P= starting population = 280000

r= rate of growth = 0.45

t= time = 15

now plug these values into above formula.

A=280000(1+0.45)^{15}

A=280000(1.45)^{15}

A=280000(263.34194176)

A=73735743.6928

Hence population after 15 years will be approx 73735743.

Help me find the range of this function please
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

{-2, -14, -26, -50}

Step-by-step explanation:

The range of the function is the function evaluated at each point of the given domain. So to find the range of the function we need to find the value of the function for each point in the domain:

- For x = -8

f(x)=-2x-18

f(-8)=-2(-8)-18

f(-8)=16-18

f(-8)=-2

The first value of the range of the function is -2

- For x = -2

f(x)=-2x-18

f(-2)=-2(-2)-18

f(-2)=4-18

f(-2)=-14

The second value of the range is -14

- For x = 4

f(x)=-2x-18

f(4)=-2(4)-18

f(4)=-8-18

f(4)=-26

Th third values of the range is -26

- For x = 16

f(x)=-2x-18

f(16)=-2(16)-18

f(16)=-32-18

f(16)=-50

The fourth and last value of the range is -50

Now we can put all the values of the range together

The range of the function is {-2, -14, -26, -50}
