Answer:

length = 24, width = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the length and width of the first rectangle w + 15 and w respectively. This means that the length and width of the second rectangle is (w + 15) - 2 and w + 5 respectively. Since the perimeter of the second rectangle is 72, we can write:

2 * ((w + 15) - 2 + w + 5) = 72 because perimeter = 2 * (length + width)

(w + 15) - 2 + w + 5 = 36 (Divide by 2)

2w + 18 = 36 (Combine like terms)

2w = 18 (Subtract 18)

w = 9 (Divide by 2)

This means that the length and width are 24 and 9.

Answer:

1. 4x^{3} + 26x² + 4x - 48

2. 2x^{3} - 23x² + 60x - 32

3. x^{5} + 7x^{3} - 4x + 2x^{4} + 14x² - 8

4. 2x^{7} + x^{6} - 28x^{5} + 3x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

To multiply polynomials, simply distribute whatever's outside the largest set of parenthesis, then combine like terms.

1) Distribute the parenthesis (x + 6):

x(4x² + 2x - 8)  +  6(4x² + 2x - 8)

4x^{3} + 2x² -8x  +  6(4x² + 2x -8)

4x^{3} + 2x² -8x + 24x² + 12x - 48

Combine like terms:

4x^{3} + 26x² + 4x - 48

2) Distribute the parenthesis (x - 8):

x(2x² - 7x + 4)  +  (-8)(2x² - 7x + 4)

2x^{3} - 7x² + 4x  +  (-8)(2x² - 7x + 4)

2x^{3} - 7x² + 4x  +  -16x² + 56x - 32

Combine like terms:

2x^{3} - 23x² + 60x - 32

3) Distribute the parenthesis (x + 2):

x(x^{4} + 7x² - 4)  +  2(x^{4} + 7x² - 4)

x^{5} + 7x^{3} - 4x  +  2(x^{4} + 7x² - 4)

x^{5} + 7x^{3} - 4x + 2x^{4} + 14x² - 8

No like terms to combine, so:

x^{5} + 7x^{3} - 4x + 2x^{4} + 14x² - 8

4) Distribute the parenthesis (x + 4):

x(2x^{6} - 7x^{5} + 3)  +  4(2x^{6} - 7x^{5} + 3)

2x^{7} - 7x^{6} + 3x  +  4(2x^{6} - 7x^{5} + 3)

2x^{7} - 7x^{6} + 3x + 8  x^{6} - 28x^{5} + 12

Combine like terms:

2x^{7} + x^{6} - 28x^{5} + 3x + 12

hope this helps!

Water is being pumped into a 12-foot-tall cylindrical tank at a constant rate.
Stels [109]

Answer:

4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that:

• At 2:30 p.m., the water depth was 2.6 feet.  

• It is now 5:00 p.m., and the depth of the water is 3.6 feet.

So in 2.5 hours ( 5pm - 2:30pm) the water rose 1 feet (3.6 - 2.6).

Now <em><u>we can find how much water rises in 1 hour by setting up a ratio (let x be the depth increase of water in 1 hr):</u></em>

\frac{2.5}{1}=\frac{1}{x}\\2.5x=1*1\\2.5x=1\\x=\frac{1}{2.5}\\x=0.4

So, in 1 hour, the water level will rise 0.4 feet

So, at 6pm (1 hour from 5 pm) it will rise to 3.6 + 0.4 = 4 feet

The perimeter of a triangle is 86 inches. The largest side is four inches less than twice the smallest side. The third side is 1
Xelga [282]
Hello,
Assume x the smallest side.
y the third side
z the largest side
z=2x-4
y=10+x
x+y+z=86
==>x+(10+x)+(2x-4)=86
==>4x=86-10+4
==>x=20, y=30 and z=36

The function f(x) = −x^2 − 5x + 50 shows the relationship between the vertical distance of a diver from a pool's surface f(x), i
pychu [463]
Set the function to equal zero:

-x^2 - 5x + 50 = 0

To find the zeros, or solutions, to this problem, we will use the quadratic formula:

x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

Plug the values into the equation:

a = -1, b = -5, c = 50

x=\frac{5\pm\sqrt{-5^2-4(-1)(50)}}{2(-1)}

x=\frac{5\pm\sqrt{25+200}}{-2}

x=\frac{5\pm15}{-2}

Solve for both plus and minus:

\frac{5 + 15}{-2} = \frac{20}{-2} = -10

\frac{5 - 15}{-2} = \frac{-10}{-2} = 5

x = -10, x = 5

The question cannot use a negative value for x, as the diver cannot dive a negative distance from the board.

The answer is '<span>x = 5; the diver hits the water 5 feet away horizontally from the board', because x represents the horizontal distance away from the board.</span>
