Answer:

Length is 14 in

Width is 8 in

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • Length = l
  • Width = w
  • Perimeter = P = 44 in
<h3>Solution</h3>

<u>Equations as per given:</u>

  • l - w = 6
  • P= 2(l+w) = 44 ⇒ l +w = 22

<u>Adding up the two equations:</u>

  • l - w  + l +w = 6 + 22
  • 2l = 28
  • l = 28/2
  • l = 14 in

<u>Then finding the value of w:</u>

  • w = l -6
  • w = 14 - 6
  • w = 8 in

<u>Answer:</u> The length of the rectangle is 14 inches and width is 8 inches

The x intercepts of the function f(x) = 2x(x-5)^2(x+4)^3<br> are…
Leokris [45]

Answer:

\boxed{\sf x- intercepts = 0 , 5 \ and \ -4}

Step-by-step explanation:

A function is given to us and we need to find the x Intercepts of the graph of the given function . The function is ,

\sf \implies f(x) = 2x( x - 5 ) ^2(x+4)^3

For finding the x intercept , <u>equate the given function with 0, we have ;</u>

\sf \implies 2x ( x - 5 )^2(x+4)^3= 0

Equate each factor with 0 ,

\sf \implies 2x = 0

Divide both sides by 2 ,

\sf \implies\bf x = 0

Again ,

\sf \implies ( x - 5)^2=0

Taking squareroot on both sides,

\sf \implies x - 5 = 0

Add 5 to both sides,

\sf \implies \bf x = 5

Similarly ,

\sf \implies \bf x = -4

<u>Hence</u><u> the</u><u> </u><u>x </u><u>Intercepts</u><u> </u><u>are </u><u>-</u><u>4</u><u> </u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>0</u><u> </u><u>and </u><u>5</u><u> </u><u>.</u>

The cube of twice a number
raketka [301]

Answer:

The cube of twice a number.

Twice a quantity usually indicates to take two of the things in question; usually this indicates to multiply by 2. Thus "twice a number x" can be written symbolically as 2x. If this is part of a problem, say twice a number x is 6, then we can rewrite algebraically as 2x=6; dividing both sides by 2 yields x=3.

Step-by-step explanation:

What is the constant of proportionality for m=32•g
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

∴ Constant of Proportionality is 32

Step-by-step explanation:

Here Given;

m=32\times g  (equation-1)

\frac{m}{g}=32  (equation-2) (divide with 'g' on both side)

We know,

The Constant of Proportionality equation is given;

y=k\times x  (equation-3)

Where 'k' is known as Constant of Proportionality.

Comparing equation-1 and equation-3;

y=m and x=g

Now equation-2 become;

k=\frac{y}{x}

Plug y=m and x=g in above equation;

\frac{m}{g}=k  (equation-4)

By comparing equation-2 and equation-4;

k=32

So Constant of Proportionality is 32

Let p and q be statements. Identify the truth table for q → p.
Serjik [45]

Answer:

T F T T.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p and q be two statement

When the value of p is true and the value of q is true then the value of q\implies p is true.

When the value of p is true and the value of q is  false then the value of q\implies p is true.

When the value p is false and the value of q is true then the value of q\implies p is false.

When the value of p  is false and the value of q is false then the value of q\implies p is true.

Hence, the value of q\implies p is false when q is true and p is false.

Find the common ratio of the sequence. –172, –86, –43, –21.5, . . .
seropon [69]
If you divide each number by the previous one, you get:

-86 / -172 = 1/2
-43 / -86 = 1/2
-21.5 / -43 = 1/2

The common ratio is 1/2 = 0.5
