Answer: The  length of the shorter side of a golden rectangle is about 24.7 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A golden rectangle has side lengths in the ratio of about 1 to 1.62.

Since 1.62 > 1 , so

\dfrac{\text{Length of shorter side}}{\text{Length of longer side}}=\dfrac{1}{1.62}

If the length of the longer side is 40 inches , then we have

\dfrac{\text{Length of shorter side}}{\text{40 inches}}=\dfrac{1}{1.62}\\\\ \Rightarrow\ \text{Length of shorter side}=\dfrac{1}{1.62}\times \text{40 inches}\\\\ \Rightarrow\  \text{Length of shorter side}=24.6913580247\approx24.7\text{ inches}

Hence, the  length of the shorter side of a golden rectangle is about 24.7 inches.

Solve the system of linear equations below. <br><br> X+y=4<br> 2x+3y=0
deff fn [24]
X + y = 4...x = 4 - y

2x + 3y = 0
2(4-y) + 3y = 0
8 - 2y + 3y = 0
-2y + 3y = 0 - 8
y = -8

x + y = 4
x - 8 = 4
x = 4 + 8
x = 12

solution is : (12,-8)

Which graph represents a function?
Sliva [168]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

A function is where each input (here, the input is x) corresponds to exactly one output (here, the output is y). In other words, if a function is graphed, we should be able to draw a vertical line through every single part of it that will intersect it at only one place.

Let's examine each choice.

(A) Well, if we draw a vertical line through the graph, it will obviously intersect the entire line - which is an infinite number of intersections, so this is not a function.

(B) If we draw a vertical line through the portion of the graph that lies near the positive x-axis, we note that it will intersect twice, so this is not a function.

(C) If we strategically draw a vertical line through the y-axis, we see it will intersect two times, so this is not a function.

(D) We can draw a vertical line through any portion of this graph and know that it will only intersect once.

Therefore, the answer is D.
