Answer:

Length = 17 feet, Width = 5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The area of a rectangular wall of a barn is 85 square feet.

Its length is 12 feet longer than the width.

Question asked:

Find the length and width of the wall of the barn.

Solution:

Let width of a rectangular wall of a barn = $x$

<u>As length is 12 feet longer than the width.</u>

Length of a rectangular wall of a barn = $12+x$

As we know:

$Area\ of\ rectangle=length\times breadth$

$85=(12+x)x\\\\85=12x+x^{2} \\$

Subtracting both sides by 85

$x^{2} +12x-85=0\\x^{2} +17x-5x-85=0\\Taking\ common\\x+(x+17)-5x(x+17)=0\\(x+17)(x-5)=0\\x+17=0, x-5=0\\x=-17,x=5$

As width can never be in negative, hence width of a rectangular wall of a barn = $x$ = 5 feet

Length of a rectangular wall of a barn = $12+x=12+5=17\ feet$

Therefore, length and width of the wall of the barn is 17 feet and 5 feet respectively.

Use proper probability notation. Identify function and label inputs when using technology.

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

0.1349

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Sample size, n = 500

20% of 500 ; 0.2 * 500 = 100

p = 0.18 ; n = 500 ; 1 - p = 0.82

P(x ≥ 100) ;

Using the binomial probability relation :

P(x =x) = nCx * p(x)^x * (1 - p)^(n - x

P(x ≥ 100) = 500C100 * 0.18^100 * 0.82^400

P(x ≥ 100) = 0.1349

What is the expansion of (3+x)^4

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

$\left(3+x\right)^4:\quad x^4+12x^3+54x^2+108x+81$

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the expression

$\left(3+x\right)^4$

Lets determine the expansion of the expression

$\left(3+x\right)^4$

$\mathrm{Apply\:binomial\:theorem}:\quad \left(a+b\right)^n=\sum _{i=0}^n\binom{n}{i}a^{\left(n-i\right)}b^i$

$a=3,\:\:b=x$

$=\sum _{i=0}^4\binom{4}{i}\cdot \:3^{\left(4-i\right)}x^i$

Expanding summation

$\binom{n}{i}=\frac{n!}{i!\left(n-i\right)!}$

$i=0\quad :\quad \frac{4!}{0!\left(4-0\right)!}3^4x^0$

$i=1\quad :\quad \frac{4!}{1!\left(4-1\right)!}3^3x^1$

$i=2\quad :\quad \frac{4!}{2!\left(4-2\right)!}3^2x^2$

$i=3\quad :\quad \frac{4!}{3!\left(4-3\right)!}3^1x^3$

$i=4\quad :\quad \frac{4!}{4!\left(4-4\right)!}3^0x^4$

$=\frac{4!}{0!\left(4-0\right)!}\cdot \:3^4x^0+\frac{4!}{1!\left(4-1\right)!}\cdot \:3^3x^1+\frac{4!}{2!\left(4-2\right)!}\cdot \:3^2x^2+\frac{4!}{3!\left(4-3\right)!}\cdot \:3^1x^3+\frac{4!}{4!\left(4-4\right)!}\cdot \:3^0x^4$

$=\frac{4!}{0!\left(4-0\right)!}\cdot \:3^4x^0+\frac{4!}{1!\left(4-1\right)!}\cdot \:3^3x^1+\frac{4!}{2!\left(4-2\right)!}\cdot \:3^2x^2+\frac{4!}{3!\left(4-3\right)!}\cdot \:3^1x^3+\frac{4!}{4!\left(4-4\right)!}\cdot \:3^0x^4$

as

$\frac{4!}{0!\left(4-0\right)!}\cdot \:\:3^4x^0:\:\:\:\:\:\:81$

$\frac{4!}{1!\left(4-1\right)!}\cdot \:3^3x^1:\quad 108x$

$\frac{4!}{2!\left(4-2\right)!}\cdot \:3^2x^2:\quad 54x^2$

$\frac{4!}{3!\left(4-3\right)!}\cdot \:3^1x^3:\quad 12x^3$

$\frac{4!}{4!\left(4-4\right)!}\cdot \:3^0x^4:\quad x^4$

so equation becomes

$=81+108x+54x^2+12x^3+x^4$

$=x^4+12x^3+54x^2+108x+81$

Therefore,

$\left(3+x\right)^4:\quad x^4+12x^3+54x^2+108x+81$
