Answer:

The width is .16 miles and the length is .3 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the area formula for a rectangle and the fact that the length = .14 + w.  Your formula will look like this then:

.048 = w(.14 + w)

Distribute through the parenthesis to get

.048=.14w+w^2

Get everything on one side of the equals sign and set the whole equal to 0:

0=w^2+.14w-.048

Let's multiply everything by 1000 to get rid of those decimals:

0=1000w^2+140w-48

Now we need to factor that to solve for w:

w = .16 and w = -.3

Since the two things in math that will never ever be negative are distance measures and time, we can safely disregard the -.3.  That means that the width is .16 and the length is ,16 + .14 which is .3.  There you go!

Its point P because the lines between 1 and 2 are 1/4 2/4 and 3/4 and its looking for 1 1/4 so the correct is the line after number 1 on the x axis and the y axis is 2 which you can see p is located it

Help with 5b please . thank you.​

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given f(x)=ln(1+x)-x+(1/2)x^2.

We are first ask to differentiate this.

We will need chain rule for first term and power rule for all three terms.

f'(x)=(1+x)'/(1+x)-(1)+(1/2)×2x

f'(x)=(0+1)/(1+x)-(1)+x

f'(x)=1/(1+x)-(1)+x

We are then ask to prove if x is positive then f is positive.

I'm thinking they want us to use the derivative part in our answer.

Let's look at the critical numbers.

f' is undefined at x=-1 and it also makes f undefined.

Let's see if we can find when expression is 0.

1/(1+x)-(1)+x=0

Find common denominator:

1/(1+x)-(1+x)/(1+x)+x(1+x)/(1+x)=0

(1-1-x+x+x^2)/(1+x)=0

A fraction can only be zero when it's numerator is.

Simplify numerator equal 0:

x^2=0

This happens at x=0.

This means the expression,f, is increasing or decreasing after x=0. Let's found out what's happening there. f'(1)=1/(1+1)-(1)+1=1/2 which means after x=0, f is increasing since f'>0 after x=0.

So we should see increasing values of f when we up the value for x after 0.

Plugging in 0 gives: f(0)=ln(1+0)-0+(1/2)0^2=0.

So any value f, after this x=0, should be higher than 0 since f(0)=0 and f' told us f in increasing after x equals 0.

a circle with a radius of 1 cm sits inside a 3cm x 3cm rectangle. What is the area of the shaded region (the rectangle is shaded
masha68 [24]

Answer:

The area of the shaded region is 5.86\ cm^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of the shaded region is equal to the area of the rectangle minus the area of the circle

The rectangle is a square

so

A=b^{2} -\pi r^{2}

we have

b=3\ cm

r=1\ cm

assume

\pi =3.14

substitute the values

A=3^{2} -(3.14)(1)^{2}

A=5.86\ cm^{2}

P (a) =2/5 p(b)=1/4 ( a and b=1/25I did two events independent or dependent please help
juin [17]

we have

p (a) =2/5 p(b)=1/4 ( a and b=1/25

Remember that

we know that for two independent events A,B.

⇒ P(A∩B)=P(A)*P(B)

we have

P(A)=2/5 and P(B)=1/4

so

P(A∩B)=(2/5)*(1/4)=2/20=1/10

that means

<h2>events are dependent</h2>
