Answer:

l = 2 1/2 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Area is given by the formula

A = l*w

We know the area is 8 1/2  

Changing this to an improper fraction  8 1/2 = (2*8 +1)/2 = 17/2

The width is 3 2/5  as an improper fraction  = (5*3+2)/5 = 17/5

A = l*w

17/2 = l* 17/5

Multiply each side by 5/17

17/2 * 5/17 = l* 17/5 * 5/17

5/2 = l

2 1/2 = l

Answer:

l = 2.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

A = lb

8.5 = l * 3 2/5

8.5 = l * 3.4

l = 8.5 / 3.4

l = 2.5 <u>feet</u> <u>(</u>Always remember to put the units, otherwise you may not get points.)

Can someone explain to me the steps how they got 2 √4^2+2x-3-2 from this question…
Naddik [55]

Step-by-step explanation:

with your square root symbol I never know what is inside the square root and what is possibly outside.

so, I can only guess and see what comes close.

f(x) = 2x² + x - 1

g(x) = sqrt(2x - 1) ??? is that so ?

h(x) = -2

2g(f(x)) + h(x)

g(f(x)) means that the whole f(x) expression is used as x in g(x).

the whole combined function is then

2×sqrt(2(2x² + x - 1) - 1) - 2

2×sqrt(4x² + 2x - 2 - 1) - 2

2×sqrt(4x² + 2x - 3) - 2

and if I am not mistaken, then this is the solution you mentioned at the beginning (if I try to read between the typos and missing info).

this is how people get to this.

do you understand it now ? or is there still something unclear ?

write an equation for the line passing through the point (3,5) and perpendicular to the line y=-1/3x+5
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

y= 3x -4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line can be written in the form of y=mx +c, where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept. This is also known as the slope-intercept form.

y =  -  \frac{1}{3} x + 5

Since the given equation is in the slope-intercept form, we can identify its slope from the coefficient of x.

Slope= -⅓

The product of the slopes of perpendicular lines is -1.

Slope of perpendicular line

=  - 1 \div ( -  \frac{1}{3} )

=  -  1 \times ( -  \frac{3}{1} )

= 3

Thus, the equation of the perpendicular line is given by:

y= 3x +c

Substitute a pair of coordinates that the line passes through to find the value of c.

When x= 3, y= 5,

5= 3(3) +c

5= 9 +c

<em>Minus 9 on both sides:</em>

c= 5 -9

c= -4

Hence, the equation of the perpendicular line is y= 3x -4.

Use the distance formula to show algebraically and graphically that the following two circles do not intersect. (x-1)²+(y+2)²=1
lesya692 [45]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

C1) (x-1)²+(y+2)²=1  C1 (1,-2) R1 = √1 = 1

C2) (x+5)²+(y-4)²=4 C2 (-5,4) R2 = √4 = 2

DISTANCE FORMULA: d² = (y₂-y₁)²+(x₁-x₂)²

calculating the distances between the 2 center:

d² = (4-(-2))²+(-5-1)² = (6)²+(-6)² = 36 + 36 = 72 ⇒ d = √72

√72 ≈ 8.49

R1 = 1 and R2 = 2

If the circles were secants, d would be < than R1 + R2.

If the circles were tangent, d would be = to  R1 + R2

As d > than R1 + R2, we know that the circles do not intercept.
