1mi = 5280feet
 The first thing you should do in this case is to calculate the perimeter of the rectangle which will be given by:
 P = 2 * L + 2 * W
 Where
 L = long
 W = width
 Calculating we have:
 P = 2 * (1/4) + 2 * (1/8)
 P = 1/2 + 1/4
 P = 3/4 mi
 To calculate this distance to feet we have to use the following expression:
 (3/4) / (x) = 1/5280

Answer:

$1000 ; 500 ; 1000 ; y = 500x + 1000

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph, the initial deposit which started the savings account is $1000 ; this is the value on the y - intercept, the value in the account at time or period = 0.

The slope :

x1 = 0 ; y1 = 1000

x2 = 6 ; y2 = 4000

Slope = Rise / Run

Rise = y2 - y1 = 4000 - 1000 = 3000

Run = x2 - x1 = 6 - 0 = 6

Hence,

Slope = 3000 / 6

Slope = 500

y - intercept = 1000 (from. Graph)

Equation in slope intercept form:

General form : y = mx + c

m = slope ; c = intercept

Equation is written as ;

y = 500x + 1000

A poster is to have a total area of 125 cm2. There is a margin round the edges of 6 cm at the top and 4 cm at the sides and bott
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is 15 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the required poster be a cm.

We need to have a 6 cm margin at the top and a 4 cm margin at the bottom. Thus total margin combining top and bottom is 10 cm.

Similarly total margin combining both the sides is (4+4=) 8 cm.

So the required printing area of the poster is given by {( a-10 ) × ( a - 8) } cm^{2}

This area is equal to 125 cm^{2} as per as the given problem.

∴ (a - 10) × (a - 8) = 125

⇒ a^{2} - 18 a +80 -125 =0

⇒ a^{2} - 18 a -45 = 0

⇒ (a-15) (a-3) = 0

By law of trichotomy the possible values of a are 15 and 3.

But a=3 is absurd as a > 4.

Thus the required answer is 15 cm.

Help please.................
olganol [36]

Answer:

(-4, 0) and (5/2, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

if you graph the equation you can see where the curve intersects the x-axis or you can factor the equation into:  (2x - 5)(x + 4) = 0

set each factor equal to zero and solve:

2x - 5 = 0

2x = 5

x = 5/2

x + 4 = 0

x = -4
