A homeowner wants to increase the size of a rectangular deck that now measures 14 feet by 22 feet. The building code allows for

a deck to have a maximum area of 800 square feet. If the length and width are increased by the same number of feet, find the maximum number of whole feet each dimension can be increased.

Answer:

10.6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Length = 22ft

width= 14ft

Maximum area = 800 sq. ft

Let X be increase in the number of feet for the length and width.

The new length = (22 + x) ft

New width= (14 + x) ft

Area = (22+x)(14+x) ≤ 800

308 + 36x + x^2 ≤ 800

x^2 + 36x + 308 - 800 ≤ 0

x^2 + 36x - 492 ≤ 0

Solve using quadratic equation

x = (-b +/- √b^2 - 4ac) / 2a

a= 1, b = 36, c= 492

x = (-36 +/- √36^2 - 4*1*-492)/ 2*1

= (-36 +/- √1396 + 1968) / 2

= (-36 +/- √3264) / 2

= (-36 +/- 57.13) / 2

x = (-36 + 57.13)/2 or (-36 - 57.13)/2

x = 21.13/2 or -93.13/2

x = 10.6 or -31.0

x = 10.6 ft

The length and width must increase by 10.6 ft each

A set of wrist watch prices are normally distributed with a mean of 767676 dollars and a standard deviation of 101010 dollars. W
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

0.8224

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

  • mean: $76
  • standard deviation, sd: $10
  • first value of interest, x1: $63
  • second value of interest, x2: $90

z-score for x1:

z1 = (x1 - mean)/sd = (63 - 76)/10 = -1.3

z-score for x2:

z2 = (x2 - mean)/sd = (90 - 76)/10 =  1.4

The  proportion of wrist watch prices are between $63 and $90 is:

P(z1 < z < z2) = P(z < 1.4) - P(z < -1.3)

P(z < 1.4) = 0.9192 (see first picture attached)

P(z < -1.3) = 0.0968 (see second picture attached)

P(z1 < z < z2) = 0.9192 - 0.0968 = 0.8224

Determine whether this statement is true or false. if two lines have the same slope, their equations describe the same line.
maksim [4K]

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

When you say "slope", Im guessing your referring to the gradient (the steepness of the line).

If two lines have the same gradient their equations won't usually describe the same line because their 'y intercepts' will be different (the point in which the line crosses the y axis)
