42 inches of wire will cost 168 cents
Look at the pic to see how to set up the proportion.
21.6 units
Calculate the length of the 2 inclined sides using the distance formula
d = √(x₂ - x₁ )² + (y₂ - y₁ )²
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 3, 3 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, 4 )
d = √(3 + 3 )² + (4 - 3)² = √(36 + 1 ) = √37
repeat for (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 3, 3 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, - 3 )
d = √(3 + 3 )² + (- 3 - 3 )² = √(36 + 36 ) = √72
the vertical side has a length of 7 units
perimeter = √37 + √72 + 7 = 21.6 ( nearest tenth of a unit )
A = l x w
so you know that the length is 3m longer than the width, so you could use a formula to represent that
w = l + 3
you then substitute the second equation into the first to solve for l
70 = l x (l +3)
70 = l^2 + 3l
you could then rearrange the formula and solve for l using the quadratic formula
0 = l^2 + 3l - 70
l = -3 +- (square root (3)^2 - 4(1)(70)) / 2(1)
l = -3 +- (square root 9 + 280) / 2
l = -3 +- (square root 289) / 2
l = -3 +- 17 / 2
then you solve for the two seperate roots
l = -3 + 17 /2
l = 14 / 2
l = 7
or
l = -3 - 17 / 2
l = -20 / 2
l = -10
since a length cannot be negative, this root is not viable. therefore l = 7
to solve for w you would use
w = l + 3
w = 7 + 3
w = 10
hope this helps! if you did not understand a step or concept please let me know!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Starting with 3 x < -18, we divide both sides by 3, obtaining x < -6.
Draw a circle centered at x = -6 and then from that circle draw an arrow to the left.
There are several approaches.
(5/3)x^2 - 5 = 0 has the coefficients a=5/3, b=0 and c = -5.
Thus, the quadratic formula would be appropriate here:
-0 plus or minus sqrt(0^2 - 4(5/3)(-5) )
x = -------------------------------------------------------
2(5/3)
plus or minus sqrt(100/3)
= ------------------------------------
10/3
3 10
= ------* ----------- = sqrt(3) (answer)
10 sqrt(3)
