Answer:

Length  L = 17 ft.

Width   W = 4 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle = L * W

Area = 68 ft²

W = 2L - 30

Area = L * W

68 = L * (2L - 30)

68 = 2L² - 30L

2L² - 30L -68 = 0     ( solve L by using quadratic equation)

        -(-30) ± √ -30² - 4 * 2 * (-68)

L = -------------------------------------------

                       2 * 2

L = 17 ;  L= - 2   therefore use L = 17 ft.

<u>solve for W:</u>

W = 2L - 30

W = 2(17) - 30

W = 34 - 30

W = 4 ft

check:

Area = L * W

68 = 17 * 4

68 = 68  ----- OK

Answer:

Length=17

Width=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Length=x

Width=2x-30

x(2x-30)=68

2x²-30x=68

2x²-30x-68=0

2(x²-15x-34)=0

2(x+2)(x-17)=0

So x equals either 17 or -2.  Since it can’t be -2, x=17

Length=x=17

Width=2x-30=2*17-30=34-30=4

What is the probability of rolling a dice at most 3 times until a 6 occurs
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

Probablity of getting six in at most three roll= 0.199.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Dice rolled at most 3 times untill a 6 occurs.

First, finding the probablity of getting 6 in a dice if rolled once.

Probablity= \frac{chances\ of\ occurance}{Total\ number\ of\ event}

We know, dice have six side, therefore, total number of event will be 6.

∴ Probablity of getting six in one roll= \frac{1}{6}

As given, Dice is rolled at most 3 times.

Now, finding the probablity of getting 6 in a dice if rolled 3 times.

∴ Probablity of getting six in three roll= \frac{1}{6}+(\frac{1}{6})^{2} +(\frac{1}{6})^{3}

⇒ Probablity of getting six in three roll=  \frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{36} +\frac{1}{216}

Taking LCD 216

⇒Probablity of getting six in three roll= \frac{1\times 36+ 6\times 1+1}{216}

⇒Probablity of getting six in three roll= \frac{43}{216}

∴Probablity of getting six in three roll=0.199

I don’t know the answer or how to do this, help!
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x^2 - x - 12

y = (x-4)×(x+3) that means x it either 4 or -3

y = x + 3

for x = 4 ➡ y = 3+4 ➡7

for x = -3 ➡ y = -3 + 3➡0

(the answer key is most probably faulty there's no way for y to be 0 in both scenarios)
