The sisters weight is 16 this is because we know that the brother equals 36. Subtract 4 from that 36 to get the problem to 3w=w+32. So we know that 32 is 2/3 of the 3w because there is only 1 w on that side of the problem. That means that 32 has to equal 2w so divide 32 by 2 to find what w equals.

The length of a rectangle is 6 units and its width is 4 units. What is the approximate length of the diagonal of the rectangle?
ss7ja [257]
The correct answer is:  [D]:  " 7.2 units" .
_______________________________________________________
Explanation:
________________________________________________________
Use the Pythagorean theorem:

a² + b² = c² ;

in which:  "6 units" and "4 units" equal the lengths of the right angle (formed by the rectangle);  and "c" is the length of the diagonal of the rectangle, or the "hypotenuse", of the right triangle formed by the rectangle;  We wish to solve for "c" ;
_______________________________________________

6² + 4² = c² ;  Solve for "c" ;

↔ c² = 6² + 4² ; 

         = (6*6) + (4*4) ;
 
         = 36 + 16 ;

        =  52 ;

    c² = 52 ;

Take the "positive square root" of each side of the equation; to isolate "c" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "c" ; 

  √(c²)  =  √52 ; 

    c = √52 ;  

At this point, we know the 7² = 49 ;  8² = 64 ;  so, the answer is somewhere between "7" and "8" ; yet closer to "7" ;  so among the answer choices given; 

The correct answer is:  [D]:  " 7.2 units" .
_________________________________________
However, let use a calculator:

c = √52 = 7.2111025509279786 ; which rounds to "7.2" ;
   which corresponds to:

Answer choice:  [C]:  " 7.2 units" .

Find the numbers b such that the average value of f(x) = 7 + 10x − 9x2 on the interval [0, b] is equal to 8.
barxatty [35]

Answer:

The numbers b such that the average value of f(x) = 7 +10\cdot x - 9\cdot x^{2} on the interval [0, b] is equal to 8 are b_{1} \approx 1.434 and b_{2} \approx 0.232.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean value of function within a given interval is given by the following integral:

\bar f = \frac{1}{b-a}\cdot \int\limits^b_a {f(x)} \, dx

If f(x) = 7 +10\cdot x - 9\cdot x^{2}, a = 0, b = b and \bar f = 8, then:

\frac{1}{b}\cdot \int\limits^b_0 {7+10\cdot x -9\cdot x^{2}} \, dx = 8

\frac{7}{b}\int\limits^b_0 \, dx  + \frac{10}{b}  \int\limits^b_0 {x}\, dx - \frac{9}{b}  \int\limits^b_0 {x^{2}}\, dx = 8

\left(\frac{7}{b} \right)\cdot b + \left(\frac{10}{b} \right)\cdot \left(\frac{b^{2}}{2} \right)-\left(\frac{9}{b} \right)\cdot \left(\frac{b^{3}}{3} \right) = 8

7 + 5\cdot b - 3\cdot b^{2} = 8

3\cdot b^{2}-5\cdot b +1 = 0

The roots of this polynomial are determined by the Quadratic Formula:

b_{1} \approx 1.434 and b_{2} \approx 0.232.

The numbers b such that the average value of f(x) = 7 +10\cdot x - 9\cdot x^{2} on the interval [0, b] is equal to 8 are b_{1} \approx 1.434 and b_{2} \approx 0.232.

Which vector best describes the translation below?
Nimfa-mama [501]
<h3>Answer: Choice A)  <9,0></h3>

Explanation:

Focus on one of the points in the figure on the left. Let's say we go for the upper left corner point (-7, 4)

Notice it moves to the corresponding image point (2,4). It has shifted 9 units to the right to follow the translation rule (x,y) \to (x+9, y). We've added 9 to the x coordinate, and the y coordinate stays the same.

This notation can be shortened to <9, 0>

In general, the notation (x,y) \to (x+a, y+b) is shortened to the translation vector notation < a, b >. In this case, a = 9 and b = 0.
