The length of a rectangle is six times its width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 98 yd , find its area.

1 answer:

4 0

P=2(W + L)
p= 2W + 2L
98=2W + 2(6W)
98=2W + 12W
98=W
98/14=14W/14
W=7

L= 6W
L = 6(7)
L= 42

CHECK
p=2(7 +42)
p=2(49)
p= 98

Area of a rectangle = W X L
Area of a rectangle = 7 X 42
Area of a rectangle = 294

Martin says that f(x)=2(4)^x starts at 4 and has a constant ratio of 2. What error did Martin make? Explain.

grigory [225]

Answer:

A general exponential equation is written as:

f(x) = A*(r)^x

Where:

A is the initial value, this is the value that the function takes when x = 0.

r is the rate of growth

x is the variable.

In this case, the function is:

f(x) = 2*(4)^x

The initial value is:

f(0) = 2*(4)^0 = 2*1 = 2

The initial value is 2.

And the rate of growth is 4.

So Martin seems to mixed these two values (he said initial value = 4, and rate = 2, which is the opposite of what we found)

Solve for X 1) 5 2) 6 3) 4 4) 3

Molodets [167]

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

given 2 chords intersecting inside a circle , then

the product of the parts of one chord is equal to the product of the parts of the other chord, that is

9 × 4x = 8(4x + 2)

36x = 32x + 16 ( subtract 32x from both sides )

4x = 16 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 4

In a large population, 3% of the people are heroin users. A new drug test correctly identifies users 93% of the time and correct

kari74 [83]

Answer:

(a) The probability tree is shown below.

(b) The probability that a person who does not use heroin in this population tests positive is 0.10.

(c) The probability that a randomly chosen person from this population is a heroin user and tests positive is 0.0279.

(d) The probability that a randomly chosen person from this population tests positive is 0.1249.

(e) The probability that a person is heroin user given that he/she was tested positive is 0.2234.

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the events as follows:

X = a person is a heroin user

Y = the test is correct.

Given:

P (X) = 0.03

P (Y|X) = 0.93

P (Y|X') = 0.99

(a)

The probability tree is shown below.

(b)

Compute the probability that a person who does not use heroin in this population tests positive as follows:

The event is denoted as (Y' | X').

Consider the tree diagram.

The value of P (Y' | X') is 0.10.

Thus, the probability that a person who does not use heroin in this population tests positive is 0.10.

(c)

Compute the probability that a randomly chosen person from this population is a heroin user and tests positive as follows:

$P(X\cap Y)=P(Y|X)P(X)=0.93\times0.03=0.0279$

Thus, the probability that a randomly chosen person from this population is a heroin user and tests positive is 0.0279.

(d)

Compute the probability that a randomly chosen person from this population tests positive as follows:

P (Positive) = P (Y|X)P(X) + P (Y'|X')P(X')

$=(0.93\times0.03)+(0.10\times0.97)\\=0.1249$

Thus, the probability that a randomly chosen person from this population tests positive is 0.1249.

(e)

Compute the probability that a person is heroin user given that he/she was tested positive as follows:

$P(X|positive)=\frac{P(Y|X)P(X)}{P(positive)} =\frac{0.93\times0.03}{0.1249}= 0.2234$

Thus, the probability that a person is heroin user given that he/she was tested positive is 0.2234.
