Answer: The width of the pool is 24m and the length of the pool is 29m

Step-by-step explanation: The dimensions of the rectangular pool is not given, but the clues we have are that the length of the pool is 5 meters longer than it’s width. With that information, we can say that the width is W, while the length is W + 5.

Also the pool is surrounded by a walk 4m wide. That means the total length including the two walkways is W + 5 + 4 + 4 (that equals W + 13), and the total width including the two walkways is W + 4 + 4 (that equals W + 8). We have yet another clue, which states that the total area of the pool and walk is 488m more than the area of the pool.

We shall label the area of the pool as AP. If Area = L x W, then area of pool is

AP = (W + 5) x W

AP = W^2 + 5W

Also the total area of the pool and walk shall be labeled as APW. Therefore,

APW = (W + 13) x (W + 8)

APW = W^2 + 8W + 13W + 104

APW = W^2 + 21W + 104

Having calculated the area of the pool as W^2 + 5W and the total area of the pool and walk as W^2 + 21W + 104, and remembering that the area of pool and walk is 488 meters more than the area of the pool, we can now write the following equation;

W^2 + 21W + 104 = W^2 + 5W + 488

Collecting like terms we now have

W^2 - W^2 + 21W - 5W = 488 - 104

16W = 384

Divide both sides of the equation by 16

W = 24.

If the length of the pool has been given as 5 meters more than its width, then length of the pool equals 24 + 5 and that equals 29 meters. Therefore

Length = 29m and Width = 24m

Answer:

30 c + 100 m = 700

c+ m = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write a system of equations.

The product of the number of movies where the song was played (m) multiplied by the earnings per movie (30) plus the product of the number of commercials where the song was played (m) multiplied by the earnings per commercial, must be equal to $700.

30 c + 100 m = 700

The number of movies (m) plus the number of commercials (c) is equal to 14.

c+ m = 14

The system is:

30 c + 100 m = 700

c+ m = 14

A blind taste test will be conducted with 9 volunteers to determine whether people can taste a difference between bottled water
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

The answer is \frac{1}{256}

Step-by-step explanation:

If we assume that people cannot taste a difference between bottled water, then the probability of identifying tap water is 0.5

Thus, P(identify tap water)=0.5

The probability that at least 8 of the 9 people identify the tap water correctly is the sum of the probabilities

  • 8 of 9 people identified correctly or
  • 9 of 9 people identified correctly

Since P(identify tap water)=0.5 each probabilities are the same and equal to

0.5^9 =\frac{1}{512}

So we have 2*\frac{1}{512} = \frac{1}{256}

4. Mr. Downey used the function f(x) = -3x2 + 12x to model the flight of a glider. In Mr. Downey's
tankabanditka [31]

Answer: 120 seconds

Step-by-step explanation: In order to find the maximum value of a function, you can take the derivative of the function and equalize the result to 0.

f'(x)=(-3x^2 + 12x)'=-6x+12=0

x=2

When x is 2, the function will reach its maximum value.

f(2)=-3(2)^2 + 12.2 = -12 + 24 = 12

The maximum value (f(x)) is equal to 12 and the time passed is 2 minutes which is equal to 120 seconds.
