Answer:

l = 44 ft

w = 20 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter is

P = 2 ( l+w)

The width is

w = l -24

We know the perimeter is 128 and substituting into the equation for perimeter

128 = 2 ( l + l-24)

128 = 2 ( 2l -24)

Divide by 2

128/2 = 2/2 ( 2l-24)

64 = 2l - 24

Add 24 t o each sdie

64+24 = 2l

88 = 2l

Divide by 2

44 =l

The length is 44

Now find w

w = l - 24

w = 44-24

w = 20

Answer:

$\boxed{l=44 \: \mathrm{feet}, \: \: w=20 \: \mathrm{feet}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The width (w) = l - 24

The length (l) = l

The perimeter (P) = 128

The shape is a rectangle. Use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle.

P = 2w + 2l

Plug in the values.

128 = 2(l - 24) + 2l

Solve for l.

Expand brackets.

128 = 2l - 48 + 2l

Combine like terms

128 = 4l - 48

Add 48 on both sides.

176 = 4l

Divide both sides by 4.

44 = l

Apply formula again.

P = 2l + 2w

Solve for w.

Subtract 2w and P on both sides.

-2w = 2l - P

Divide both sides by -2.

w = -l + P/2

Plug in the values for l and P, solve for w.

w = -(44) + 128/2

w = -44 + 64

w = 20

The length is 44 feet.

The width is 20 feet.

Estimate the integral ∫6,0 x^2dx by the midpoint estimate, n = 6

Anettt [7]

Splitting up the interval [0, 6] into 6 subintervals means we have

$[0,1]\cup[1,2]\cup[2,3]\cup\cdots\cup[5,6]$

and the respective midpoints are $\dfrac12,\dfrac32,\dfrac52,\ldots,\dfrac{11}2$ . We can write these sequentially as ${x_i}^*=\dfrac{2i+1}2$ where $0\le i\le5$ .

So the integral is approximately

$\displaystyle\int_0^6x^2\,\mathrm dx\approx\sum_{i=0}^5({x_i}^*)^2\Delta x_i=\frac{6-0}6\sum_{i=0}^5({x_i}^*)^2=\sum_{i=0}^5\left(\frac{2i+1}2\right)^2$

Recall that

$\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^ni^2=\frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}6$
$\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^ni=\frac{n(n+1)}2$
$\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^n1=n$

so our sum becomes

$\displaystyle\sum_{i=0}^5\left(\frac{2i+1}2\right)^2=\sum_{i=0}^5\left(i^2+i+\frac14\right)$
$=\displaystyle\frac{5(6)(11)}6+\frac{5(6)}2+\frac54=\frac{143}2$
