Answer:

dimensions are 2.19 inches by 9.14 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are interested in knowing the dimensions of the rectangle

Now, let the width of the rectangle be x, from the question, we can write;

6x-4 as the length

Area of rectangle = l * b

x(6x-4) = 20

6x^2 - 4x = 20

divide through by 2

3x^2-2x = 10

3x^2 -2x -10 = 0

using quadratic formula;

x = -b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)/2a

From the quadratic equation, a = 3, b = -2 and c = -10

substituting these values, we have

x = 2 ± √(-2)^2 -4(3)(-10))/6

x = 2 ± √(124)/6

x = 2 + √(124)/6 or 2 - √(124)/6

x = (2+11.14)/6 or (2-11.14)/6

x = 2.19 or -1.52

Since width cannot be negative, we choose 2.19 alone

So the length is 6(2.19) -4 = 9.14

lukranit [14]

p(1) = 1

Let p(x) = x2 + bx = c

then, p(p(x)) = (x2 + bx + c)² + b(x2 + bx + c) + c

Sum of roots of p(p(x)) is given by = - (coefficient of x3/constant term)

= -2b/c2+bc+c = f(a,b) (say)

For critical points,

∂f/∂c = 0 and ∂f/∂b = 0

= 2b(2c+b+1)/c2+bc+c = 0 and - {( c2+bc+c)²- 2b (c)/ ( c2+bc+c)²}= 0

= b(2c+b+1) =0  

= b= 0 or b= - (1+2c)  = -(2c(c+1))/c2+bc+c = 0

If c=0 , b= -1  => c= 0 or c=-1

If c = -1 ,b = 1

thus we have the following possibility for (b,c)

(0,0) , (0,-1) , (-1,0) ,(1,-1).

At (0,0) f(0,0) = not defined

(0,-1) f(0,-1) = 0

(1,-1) f(1,-1) = 2

(-1,0) is not possible.

p(x) = (x2 +x-1)² + (x2 +x-1) -1

= p(1) = (1+1-1)² + (1+1-1) -1

= 1

Hence, p(1) = 1

Someone please help me answer Number 14, PLEASE!
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

b=240

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find b. In order to this, we must isolate b.

-17+\frac{b}{8}=13

Add 17 to both sides

\frac{b}{8}=30

Multiply both sides by 8 to remove the fraction

b=240

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

y=25x+50

Step-by-step explanation:

The rental rate for a power washer has a one time fee of $50 plus $25 for each day of the rental.

let x be day of rental n y be the total cost of rental

with 0 day (x=0), the one time fee means y=50 which is the y-intercept

$25 per day means the slope is 25

combining y = 25x + 50
