A = 1/2 b h

Multiply each side by  2 :        2A = b h

Divide each side by  ' h ' :       <em> 2A/h = b</em>

The dimensions of a rectangle are x+3 and x+4. The area of the rectangle is 72. Set up an equation that models this rectangle an
vodomira [7]

Answer: x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is the length times the width. Since the dimensions are given as functions of x, youre going to have to use FOIL to combine them, then set that answer equal to the given value of 72.

l*w = (x+3)*(x+4) = x^2 + 7x +12 = 72

Subtract 72 on both sides. There is a reason why we'll do this instead of subtracting 12. The quadratic formula will help us to solve for x.

x^2 + 7x - 60 = 0

Apply the quadratic formula

\frac{-7 (+/-)\sqrt{7^2-(4)*(1)*(-60} }{2*1} =\frac{-7(+/-)17}{2}

We cant have a negative x value because that would result in negative dimensions and a negative area, which is impossible in this context. So you want to add the 17 instead of subtracting it.

x = 5 and x = -12

An alternate way is just factoring the trinomial to:

(x+12)(x-5) = 0

What is the initial value of the function represented by this table?
lakkis [162]

Answer:

Option D. 5

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The initial value of the function is the y-intercept, so is the value of the function when the value of x is equal to zero

In this problem observing the table

For x=0

The value of y is equal to y=5

therefore

The initial value is 5

The volume V of a gas varies inversely as the pressure P and directly as the temperature A certain gas has a volume of 10 liters
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

Joint variation states that:

If z is directly proportional to x and inversely proportional to y,

i.e, z \propto x , z \propto \frac{1}{y}

then the equation is in the form: z = k\frac{x}{y} where k is the constant of variation.

From the given information: The volume V of a gas varies inversely as the pressure P and directly as the temperature

i.,e V \propto T , V \propto \frac{1}{P}

by definition of joint variation:

V = k\frac{T}{P}  .....[1] where k is the constant of variation.

It is also given that a certain gas has a volume of 10 liters(L) , a temperature of 300 kelvins(K), and a pressure of 1.5 atmosphere(atm).

Substitute these given values in [1] to solve for k;

10 = k\frac{300}{1.5}

Simplify:

10 = 200k

Divide by 200 both sides we have;

k = \frac{10}{200} =\frac{1}{20}

Now, if a gas has a temperature of 400 kelvins and a pressure of 5 atm.

To find the volume (V);

Now substitute the given data and value of k in [1] we have;

V = \frac{1}{20} \cdot \frac{400}{5} = \frac{20}{5} = 4

Therefore, the Volume of a gas is, 4 liters
