15.5 could be rounded to 16. 16 / 4 would give you 4.
So your esitmation would be 4

The length of a rectangle is 4 m less than the diagonal and the width is 5 m less than the diagonal. If the area is 82 m^2, how
nikklg [1K]

I hate rounding.

Let's call the diagonal x.  It's the hypotenuse of the right triangle whose legs are the rectangle sides.

According to the problem we have a length x-4 and a width x-5 and an area

82 = (x-4)(x-5)

82 = x^2 - 9x + 20

0 = x^2 - 9x - 62

That one doesn't seem to factor so we go to the quadratic formula

x = \frac 1 2(9 \pm \sqrt{9^2-4(62)}) = \frac 1 2(9 \pm \sqrt{329})

Only the positive value makes any sense for this problem, so we conclude

x = \frac 1 2(9 \pm \sqrt{329})

That's the exact answer.  Did I mention I hate rounding?  That's about

x = 13.6 meters

Answer: 13.6

----------

It's not clear to me this problem is consistent.  By the Pythagorean Theorem the diagonal satisfies

x^2 = (x-4)^2 + (x-5)^2

which works out to

x=9 \pm 2\sqrt{10}

That's not consistent with the first answer; this problem really has no solution.  Tell your teacher to get better material.

What represent the relationship between the total mass of a crate
sineoko [7]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (a)  M = 0.25n +100

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between the dots on the graph is a rise of 1 grid square and a run of 2 grid squares. If we extend the sequence of dots to the left, we expect to place one at (0, 100). That is, the y-intercept of this function is 100 (eliminates choices C and D).

The rise of 1 grid square represents 25 kg, and the run of 2 grid squares represents 100 CDs. Then the slope of the function (rate of change) is ...

  slope = rise/run = 25/100 kg/CD = 0.25

Then the equation describing the points on the graph will be ...

  M = 0.25n +100

What are the coordinates of R' for the dilation D(0.5. p)(PQRS)?
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

R' = (-1,-0.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

See attachment for complete question.

From the attachment:

P = (-3,-3)

R = (1,2)

Dilation:

D_{(0.5,P)}

Required

Determine R'

First, subtract the coordinates of P from R. This means that R is measured from P.

R = (1-(-3),2-(-3))

R = (1+3,2+3)

R = (4,5)

Next, apply dilation factor 0.5

R' = R * 0.5

R' = (4,5) * 0.5

R' = (4* 0.5,5* 0.5)

R' = (2,2.5)

Lastly, measure R' from the origin by adding the coordinates of P to R'

R' = (2+(-3),2.5+(-3))

R' = (2-3,2.5-3)

R' = (-1,-0.5)

The parabola is swached vertically by a factor of 5.
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

answer below

Step-by-step explanation:

I think you mean "squashed" or "stretched" vertically by a factor of 5.

f(x) is the original parabola equation

g(x) = 5f(x) is vertically stretched by a factor of 5

(x,y) -> (x , 5y)
