Alright, so if the uniform strip is x feet long, (1313-x) represents the width of the rug and 2222-x represents the length of the rug (given that the uniform strip is uniform all around the room) due to that the difference between the length of the room and the uniform strip is the rug because there is nothing else on the floor. 

Since the area is 112112 square feet, we get that (1313-x) *(2222-x) is the area of the rug which equals 112112. Multiplying it out, we get 
x^2-2222x-1313x+(1313*2222)=112112. Next, we get
x^2-3535x+2917486=112112, and we subtract 112112 from both sides to get x^2-3535x+2805374=0. Using the quadratic formula, we get 
(3535+-sqrt(3535^2-4*2805374))/2=either around 2332 or 1203. Since it can't be 2332 due to that 1313 is less than that and the rug cannot be negative in width, we get 1203 as the uniform width. 

The dimensions of the rug are 1313-1203=around 110 as the width and 2222-1203=around 119 feet

There are 20 entries in the chess tournament. How many ways can they finish in first, second,
Romashka [77]

Answer:

6840

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the order matters (1st, 2nd, and 3rd), so we need to use permutations.

There are 20 people who can get in first place.  After that, there are 19 people who can get in second place.  Finally, there are 18 people who can get in third place.  So:

20 * 19 * 18 = 6840

We expect that students who do well on the midterm exam in a course will usually also do well on the final exam. Gary Smith of P
dybincka [34]

Using the model equation, the predicted mean score on the final given a score of <em>10 points above the class mean</em> in the mid term exam is 50.7

<u>The Least - Square Regression equation which models the relationship between midterm and final exam score is</u> :

  • γ=46.6 + 0.41x

x = 10 points ; <u>substitute the value of x = 10 into the regression equation</u> ;

γ=46.6 + 0.41(10)

γ=46.6 + 4.1

γ = 50.7

The <em>number of points above the mean</em> he'll score in the final exam is predicted to be 50.7

Answer the following true or false. Justify your answer.
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

a) False b) False c) True d) True e) True

Step-by-step explanation:

a) If A is a subset of B, and x∈B, then x∈A. False

Suppose A is Z (Set of Integers), and B is R (Set of Real Numbers). Then A is a subset of B. x ∈ B, let's say x equals π. If x ∈ B (B = Real Numbers) and x=π then x ∉ A (Z).

We could call A, any other subset of Real numbers (Q, I,..) and we both would come up to the same conclusion when it comes to Real numbers the Set.

So this conclusion is False. Not always an element of a subset is an element of a set.

b) False

For this one, I've drawn some lines, and it is useful to work with them.

Given the set {(x,y) ∈ R²| 0<x<0} then all negative and positive numbers but zero belong to this set.

c) If A and B are square matrices, then AB is also square. True

Taking into account the rules for multiplying matrices. The number of columns of A must be the same number of lines of B to there can be a matrix product.

Whenever we multiply square matrices, we'll always get square matrices. Then this conclusion is true.

d) A and B are subsets of a set S, then A∩B and A∪B are also subsets of S. True

Suppose A= Z (Integer Numbers) and B=Q (Rational Numbers) and S= R (Real Numbers)

A∩B = Z∩Q=∅ and A∪B =Z∪Q = subset

Since the ∅ empty set ⊂ in every set and ZUQ is another Subset of R this is a True conclusion.

e) True. For a matrix A, we define A²= AA

For any Power of Matrices, all we have to do is multiply any given matrix by itself for a given number of times.

M²=M*M

M³=M*M*M

Mr. Marcucci received a bonus of $496 from his employer. He has to pay 33% of his bonus to taxes. How much will Mr. Marcucci pay
tiny-mole [99]
Edit: 33% is not \frac{1}{3}, therefore my solution is wrong. The correct answer is 0.33 x 496, which is $163.68

The following is the original solution, which is incorrect. 
33% = \frac{1}{3}. Multiply the bonus of $496 by \frac{1}{3} to get the solution of \frac{496}{3}, or 165 and \frac{1}{3}

Therefore the solution is $165.33
