Answer:

The rectangles that have exactly 100 squares are 1 by 100  4 by 11 and 5 by 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

A 2 by 3 rectangle contains 8 squares

A 3 by 4 rectangle contains 20 squares

A 4 by 6 rectangle contains 50 squares  

We note that the number of squares varies proportionately to the increase in the dimension of the rectangle, that is we have;

2 by  3 rectangle contains 8 squares

3 by 4 rectangle contains 20 squares increase by 12 = 3 × 4

4 by 5 rectangle contains 40 squares increase by 20 = 4 × 5

The number of squares formed can therefore be arranged in a matrix as follows(please see attached matrix);

Column,     1,       2,     3,      4,       5,     6,        7,       8,         9,           10,         11

Row

1

2

3

4

5

6

7

8

9

10

11

It will be observed that after reaching a point where the row and column are equal, (x, x) the rate of increase in the number of squares become constant and equal to x × ((x - 1) × 0.5) + 1) = x × (x + 1)/2

From the matrix, the rectangles that have exactly 100 squares are 1 by 100  4 by 11 and 5 by 8 and there are no more as presented in the attached matrix, the number of squares formed keeps increasing for each column and row added.

Domain and range of the function f(x)= 7x^5<br> PLEASE HELP I LITERALLY CANT DO IT
sineoko [7]

Answer:

Domain: all real numbers

Range: all real numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain is all x values, and the range is all y values.

<u><em>Domain:</em></u>

The domain is all real numbers except where the slope is undefined (a vertical line). In this case, no number makes the expression undefined, so the domain is:

all real numbers

<u><em>Interval notation:</em></u><em>  </em>(-∞,∞)

all negative numbers and positive numbers (all real numbers)

<em><u>Set-Builder Notation:</u></em> {x | x ∈ R }

<em><u>Range:</u></em>

The range is the set of all valid values. Graph the line and check. Since all values of y are valid, the range is:

all real numbers

<u><em>Interval notation:</em></u><em>  </em>(-∞,∞)

all negative numbers and positive numbers (all real numbers)

<em><u>Set-Builder Notation:</u></em> {x | x ∈ R }

:Done
