Answer:

length: 16 m; width: 13 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Write each of the statements as an equation. You know that the formula for the perimeter is ...

P = 2(L +W)

so one of your equations is this one with the value of P filled in:

• 2L + 2W = 58

The other equation expresses the relation between L and W:

• L = W +3 . . . . . . . . the length is 3 meters greater than the width

There are many ways to solve such a system of equations. Since you have an expression for L, it is convenient to substitute that into the first equation to get ...

2(W+3) +2W = 58

4W +6 = 58 . . . . . . . simplify

4W = 52 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 6

W = 13 . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 4

We can use the expression for L to find its value:

L = 13 +3 = 16

The length is 16 meters; the width is 13 meters.

Find the indefinite integral. (Use C for the constant of integration.)

mart [117]

Answer:

$\int\ {(3x^2-2x+1)\,(x^3-x^2+x)^7} \, dx = \frac{1}{8} (x^3-x^2+x)^8+C$

tep-by-step explanation:

In order to find the integral:

$\int\ {(3x^2-2x+1)\,(x^3-x^2+x)^7} \, dx$

we can do the following substitution:

Let's call

$u=(x^3-x^2+x)$

Then

$du = (3x^2-2x+1) dx$

which allows us to do convert the original integral into a much simpler one of easy solution:

$\int\ {(3x^2-2x+1)\,(x^3-x^2+x)^7} \, dx = \int\ {u^7 \, du = \frac{1}{8} \,u^8 +C$

Therefore, our integral written in terms of "x" would be:

$\int\ {(3x^2-2x+1)\,(x^3-x^2+x)^7} \, dx = \frac{1}{8} (x^3-x^2+x)^8+C$

Using basic proportionality theorem

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{x}{10}=\dfrac{14}{7}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{x}{10}=2$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto x=10(2)$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto x=20$
