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.

Diane works at a gardening store, and today she is helping assemble gas trimmers to be sold. An employee from an earlier shift a

Oxana [17]

The linear function for the number of trimmers assembled is:

y = 7 + 4x.

--------------------------------

A linear function has the following format:

$y = ax + b$

In which:

a is the rate of change.
b is the fixed amount.

--------------------------------

In an earlier shift, 7 trimmers had already been produced, thus 7 is the fixed amount, that is, $b = 7$ .
Diane assembles 4 trimmers per hour, thus the rate of change is 4, that is, $a = 4$
The <u>amount of trimmers y produced after x hours</u> is given by:

$y(x) = 4x + 7$

2. In 2010, the population of a town is 8500. The population decreases by 4.5% each year.

Korvikt [17]

This exponential growth/decay (in this case decay because r<1) of the form:

f=ir^t, f=final value, i=initial value, r=common ratio or "rate", t=time.

Since the population decreases by 4.5% each year the common ratio is:

r=(100-4.5)/100=0.955 so we can say

P(t)=8500(0.955^t)

....

7000=8500(0.955^t)

14/17=(955/1000)^t taking the natural log of both sides

ln(14/17)=t ln(955/1000)

t=ln(14/17)/ln(955/1000)

t≈4.22 years (to nearest hundredth of a year)

Since t is the years since 2010, the population will fall to 7000 in the year (2010+4.22=2014.22, more than four years will have elapsed) 2015.

since sweet can't be divided in decimal places so it will be 3, 7, 10

An environmentalist wants to find out the fraction of oil tankers that have spills each month. Step 2 of 2 : Suppose a sample of

rewona [7]

Answer:

The 80% confidence interval for the population proportion of oil tankers that have spills each month is (0.199, 0.257).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence level of $1-\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}$ .

Suppose a sample of 333 tankers is drawn. Of these ships, 257 did not have spills.

333 - 257 = 76 have spills.

This means that $n = 333, \pi = \frac{76}{333} = 0.228$

80% confidence level

So $\alpha = 0.2$ , z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{0.2}{2} = 0.9$ , so $Z = 1.28$ .

The lower limit of this interval is:

$\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.228 - 1.28\sqrt{\frac{0.228*0.772}{333}} = 0.199$

The upper limit of this interval is:

$\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.228 + 1.28\sqrt{\frac{0.228*0.772}{333}} = 0.257$

The 80% confidence interval for the population proportion of oil tankers that have spills each month is (0.199, 0.257).
