Answer:

6 inches

Explanation:

Area of a rectangle with length, l and breadth, b = <span>l⋅b</span>

Given <span>l=2b+8</span> and <span>A=120</span>

Area A = <span>l⋅b=<span>(2b+8)</span>⋅b=2<span>b2</span>+8b=120</span> =>

<span><span>2<span>b2</span>+8b−120=0</span> =><span><span>b2</span>+4b−60=0</span> =><span><span>b2</span>+10b−6b−60=0</span> =><span>b<span>(b+10)</span>−6<span>(b+10)</span>=0</span> =><span><span>(b−6)</span><span>(b+10)</span>=0</span>; =><span>b=6</span> as b cannot be <span>−10</span>.</span>

Width is 6 inches

L x W = 120
L = 2 x W + 8

(2W + 8) x (W) = 120
2W^2 + 8W = 120
W^2 + 4W - 60 = 0
(W+ 10) x (W-6) = 0
W= -10, 6 
(( shouldn't be negative, so therefore W = 6 ))

Jack is investing $3,000 into an account
marin [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I think this is the equation for annual compunt interest

FV = PV(1 + int)^time        PV is present value    FV is the future value

PV + Interest  =  FV

FV - PV = Interest

                           FV                   -      PV

Interest  = [3000(1 + 0.03)^30]   -   3000

              =    3000(1.03)^30    -   3000

              =    3000(2.4272)   -   3000

              =    7281.79   -   3000

              =    $4282     to the nearest dollar    <------------    Fianl Answer

Suppose 12% of students are veterans. From a sample of 263 students, how unusual would it be to have less than 22 veterans?
kkurt [141]

Answer:

Yes, both np and n(1-p) are ≥ 10

Mean = 0.12 ; Standard deviation = 0.02004

Yes. There is a less than 5% chance of this happening by random variation. 0.034839

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

p = 12% = 0.12 ;

Sample size, n = 263

np = 263 * 0.12 = 31.56

n(1 - p) = 263(1 - 0.12) = 263 * 0.88 = 231.44

According to the central limit theorem, distribution of sample proportion approximately follow normal distribution with mean of p = 0.12 and standard deviation sqrt(p*(1 - p)/n) = sqrt (0.12 *0.88)/n = sqrt(0.0004015) = 0.02004

Z = (x - mean) / standard deviation

x = 22 / 263 = 0.08365

Z = (0.08365 - 0.12) / 0.02004

Z = −1.813872

Z = - 1.814

P(Z < −1.814) = 0.034839 (Z probability calculator)

Yes, it is unusual

0.034 < 0.05 (Hence, There is a less than 5% chance of this happening by random variation.

Can someone explain how to work this out please
valina [46]

Answer:

8/37

Step-by-step explanation:

First subtract 450 - 370.

450 - 370 = 80

Then put it into fraction form where the increase is the numerator and the cost from last year is the denominator.

80/370

Then, simply the fraction (if possible).

8/37

Need URGENT help with #10-#14!!
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for circumference = 2πr

where r = radius

π = 3.14

10. Radius = 4in

Circumference = 2πr = 2 × 3.14 × 4

= 25.12in

11. Radius = 7 yard

Circumference = 2πr = 2 × 3.14 × 7

= 43.96 yard

12. Radius = 3.6 km

Circumference = 2πr = 2 × 3.14 × 3.6

= 22.608 km

13. Radius = 1.1mm

Circumference = 2πr = 2 × 3.14 × 1.1

= 6.908mm

14. Radius = 1/4mi

Circumference = 2πr = 2 × 3.14 × 0.25

= 1.57mi

Point T is on line segment \overline{SU} SU . Given ST=12ST=12 and TU=3,TU=3, determine the length \overline{SU}. SU
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

SU = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Point T is on line segment SU. So,

SU = ST + TU

Putting all the values, we get :

SU = 12 + 3

SU = 15

Hence, the length of SU is 15 units.
