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.

What is 150,000,000 in scientific notion, PLEASE answer asap im so far behind!!
dybincka [34]

To write a number in scientific notation, you need to write the number as a product of a number from 1 to under 10 multiplied by a integer power of 10.

First, what number from 1 to under 10 can you get out of the digits of 150,000,000 just by changing the decimal point? The answer is 1.5 since 1.5 is greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10.

150,000,000 = 1.5 * 100,000,000

Now we change 100,000,000 into a power of 10. A 1 followed by a number of zeros is the same as 10 to the power equal to the number of zeros. In 100,000,000 the 1 is followed by 8 zeros, so 100,000,000 = 10^8.

150,000,000 = 1.5 * 10^8

All of the expressions that have the same value as LaTeX: 892\div8892 ÷ 8. Group of answer choices LaTeX: 8920\div808920 ÷ 80 La
algol13

Answer:

(a) 8920\div80

(e) 0.892\div0.008

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

892\div8

Required

Select equivalent expression

8920\div80

894\div10

89.2\div0.08

8.92\div0.8

0.892\div0.008

Start  by solving the given expression (using a calculator)

892\div8 = 111.5

Then we solve the given options (using a calculator)

(a) 8920\div80

8920\div80 = 111.5

(b) 894\div10

894\div10 = 89.4

(c) 89.2\div0.08

89.2\div0.08 = 1115

(d) 8.92\div0.8

8.92\div0.8 = 11.15

(e) 0.892\div0.008

0.892\div0.008 = 111.5

The equivalent expressions are (a) and (e)

Which parent function is represented by the graph?
sattari [20]

Answer:

D. The linear parent function

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear functions are always characterized by a straight line graph with or without an intercept on the vertical or horizontal axis. A linear function usually has an independent variable and a dependent variable. The independent variable is commonly depicted as x while the dependent variable is y.

Thus a linear equation is an equation of the type y=ax where a is a constant term. The equation of a straight line graph his y=mx +c, where;

m= gradient of the straight line graph

x= the independent variable

y= the dependent variable

c= the vertical intercept
