Area of a rectangle = l * w

l = length

w = width

In this problem,

w = x

l = 2x - 4

Area = 70 in^2.

Plug these numbers into the area formula above.

70 = (2x - 4)x.

Distribute the x

70 = 2x^2 - 4x.

Subtract 70 from both sides

0 = 2x^2 -4x - 70

Factor the expression on the right side

0 = 2(x - 7) (x + 5) .

Set each term equal to zero

2 = 0.

x + 5 = 0.

Subtract 5 from each side

x = -5. Side lengths cannot he negative so we need to check the last term

x - 7 = 0

Add 7 to each side

x = 7

The width = 7 and we know that the length = 2(width) - 4, therefore,

l = 2(7) - 4

Simplify the expression

l = 10

The length is 10 inches and the width is 7 inches

A questionnaire was sent to 34,000 randomly chosen individuals living in USA asking about their current and past smoking habits.
kherson [118]

Answer:

The targeted population is USA residents who died of heart disease.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to this case, "the death rates due to heart disease among the smokers and nonsmokers are compared to see if smoking causes heart disease."  This implies that the study targets those USA residents who died of heart disease to find out if the cause of death can be traced to heart disease caused by smoking or not.  The main concentration for the study defines the targeted population.  It is this group of residents who died of heart disease that is the population of interest.  This means that the targeted population is a certain group of the population that share similar characteristics, especially death resulting from heart disease caused by smoking.
