Answer:

Length:8 m

Width:3 m

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The complete question is</em></u>

If the perimeter of a rectangle is 22 meters, and the perimeter of a right triangle is 12 meters (the sides of the triangle are half the length of the rectangle, the width of the rectangle, and the hypotenuse is 5 meters). How do you solve for L and W, the dimensions of the rectangle.

step 1

<em>Perimeter of rectangle</em>

we know that

The perimeter of rectangle is equal to

P=2(L+W)

we have

P=22\ m

so

22=2(L+W)

Simplify

11=L+W -----> equation A

step 2

Perimeter of triangle

The perimeter of triangle is equal to

P=\frac{L}{2}+W+5

P=12\ m

so

12=\frac{L}{2}+W+5

Multiply by 2 both sides

24=L+2W+10

L+2W=14 ----> equation B

Solve the system of equations by graphing

Remember that the solution is the intersection point both graphs

using a graphing tool

The solution is the point (8,3)

see the attached figure

therefore

The dimensions of the rectangle are

Length:8 m

Width:3 m

A plane takes off from an airport and flies at a speed of 400km/h on a course of 120° for 2 hours. the plane then changes its co
butalik [34]

Answer:

Distance from the airport = 894.43 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Displacement and Velocity

The velocity of an object assumed as constant in time can be computed as

\displaystyle \vec{v}=\frac{\vec{x}}{t}

Where \vec x is the displacement. Both the velocity and displacement are vectors. The displacement can be computed from the above relation as

\displaystyle \vec{x}=\vec{v}.t

The plane goes at 400 Km/h on a course of 120° for 2 hours. We can compute the components of the velocity as

\displaystyle \vec{v_1}=

\displaystyle \vec{v_1}=\ km/h

The displacement of the plane in 2 hours is

\displaystyle \vec{x_1}=\vec{v_1}.t_1=.(2)

\displaystyle \vec{x_1}=km

Now the plane keeps the same speed but now its course is 210° for 1 hour. The components of the velocity are

\displaystyle \vec{v_2}=

\displaystyle \vec{v_2}=km/h

The displacement in 1 hour is

\displaystyle \vec{x_2}=\vec{v_2}.t_2=.(1)

\displaystyle \vec{x_2}=km

The total displacement is the vector sum of both

\displaystyle \vec{x_t}=\vec{x_1}+\vec{x_2}=+

\displaystyle \vec{x_t}=km

\displaystyle \vec{x_t}=

The distance from the airport is the module of the displacement:

\displaystyle |\vec{x_t}|=\sqrt{(-746.41)^2+492.82^2}

\displaystyle |\vec{x_t}|=894.43\ km

Which is a factor of the polynomial f(x) = 6x4 – 21x3 – 4x2 + 24x – 35?
QveST [7]
<span>I note that this problem starts out with "Which is a factor of ... "  This implies that you were given several answer choices.  If that's the case, it's unfortunate that you haven't shared them.

I thought I'd try finding roots of this function using synthetic division.  See below:

f(x) = 6x^4 – 21x^3 – 4x^2 + 24x – 35
Please use " ^ " to denote exponentiation.  Thanks.

Possible zeros of this poly are factors of 35:  plus or minus 1, plus or minus 5, plus or minus 7.  Use synthetic division; determine whether or not there is a non-zero remainder in each case.  If none of these work, form rational divisors from 35 and 6 and try them:  5/6, 7/6, 1/6, etc.

Provided that you have copied down the function 
</span>f(x) = 6x^4 – 21x^3 – 4x^2 + 24x – 35  properly, this approach will eventually turn up 1 or 2 zeros of this poly.  Obviously it'd be much easier if you'd check out the possible answers given you with this problem.

By graphing this function, I found that the graph crosses the x-axis at 7/2.  There is another root.

Using synth. div. to check whether or not 7/2 is a root:

         ___________________________
7/2   /   6    -21    -4    24    -35
                   21      0   -14     35           
        ----------- ------------------------------
           6        0     -4    10       0

Because the remainder is zero, 7/2 (or 3.5) is a root of the polynomial.  Thus, (x-3.5), or (x-7/2), is a factor.
