Answer:

The area of a trench is 5.5 m² .

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

Area of a rectangle = Length × Breadth

As given

Tanya has a garden with a trench around it.

$The\ garden\ is\ a\ rectangle\ with\ width\ 2\frac{1}{2}\ m\ and\ length\ 2\ m.$

i.e

$The\ garden\ is\ a\ rectangle\ with\ width\ \frac{5}{2}\ m\ and\ length\ 2\ m.$

Put in the above formula

$Area\ of\ garden = \frac{5\times 2}{2}$

= 5 m²

As given

$The\ trench\ and\ garden\ together\ make\ a\ rectangle\ with\ width\ 3 \frac{1}{2}\ m\ and\ length\ 3 m.$

i.e

$The\ trench\ and\ garden\ together\ make\ a\ rectangle\ with\ width\ \frac{7}{2}\ m\ and\ length\ 3 m.$

$Area\ of\ garden\ with\ trench = \frac{7\times 3}{2}$

$Area\ of\ garden\ with\ trench = \frac{21}{2}$

= 10.5 m²

Area of the trench = Area of garden with trench - Area of garden

Put the value in the above

Area of the trench = 10.5 m² - 5 m²

= 5.5 m ²

Therefore the area of a trench is 5.5 m² .

10 1/2 for area, you take length times width so for this you take 3 1/2 x 3 = 10 1/2

Determine any asymptotes (Horizontal, vertical or oblique). Find holes, intercepts and state it's domain.

vesna_86 [32]

Factorize the denominator:

$\dfrac{x^2-4}{x^3+x^2-4x-4}=\dfrac{x^2-4}{x^2(x+1)-4(x+1)}=\dfrac{x^2-4}{(x^2-4)(x+1)}$

If $x\neq\pm2$ , we can cancel the factors of $x^2-4$ , which makes $x=-2$ and $x=2$ removable discontinuities that appear as holes in the plot of $g(x)$ .

We're then left with

$\dfrac1{x+1}$

which is undefined when $x=-1$ , so this is the site of a vertical asymptote.

As $x$ gets arbitrarily large in magnitude, we find

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to-\infty}g(x)=\lim_{x\to+\infty}g(x)=0$

since the degree of the denominator (3) is greater than the degree of the numerator (2). So $y=0$ is a horizontal asymptote.

Intercepts occur where $g(x)=0$ ( $x$ -intercepts) and the value of $g(x)$ when $x=0$ ( $y$ -intercept). There are no $x$ -intercepts because $\dfrac1{x+1}$ is never 0. On the other hand,

$g(0)=\dfrac{0-4}{0+0-0-4}=1$

so there is one $y$ -intercept at (0, 1).

The domain of $g(x)$ is the set of values that $x$ can take on for which $g(x)$ exists. We've already shown that $x$ can't be -2, 2, or -1, so the domain is the set

$\{x\in\mathbb R\mid x\neq-2,x\neq-1,x\neq2\}$

The hourly wage increase each employee receives each year depends on their number of years of service. Every three years of serv

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The wording in the problem statement is ...

... "less than 3 years"

... "at least 3. but less than 6 years"

so we expect the inequality symbols to look like ...

... 0 ≤ x < 3

... 3 ≤ x < 6

These match <em>the second piecewise function</em>.

What is the product??

tangare [24]

Answer:

The answer to your question is the third choice

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, just multiply 6 by each of the numbers of the matrix and simplify.

6 | 4 -2 1 | = | (6 x 4) (6 x -2) (6 x 1) |

| 7 3 0| | (6 x 7) (6 x 3) (6 x 0) |

= | 24 -12 6 |

| 42 18 0 |

The first choice is wrong because only multiply by six the first row.

The second and fourth rows are incomplete.

A line passes through the point (-6, 6) and (-6, 2). In two or more complete sentences, explain why it is not possible to write

Alenkinab [10]

The line passes through two points that have the same x-coordinate.
It is a vertical line. To find the slope of a line, use any two points. Subtract the y-coordinates. Subtract the x-coordinates in the same order. Then divide the difference of the y-coordinates by the difference of the x-coordinates. Since in this case, the x-coordinates are both -6, the difference between the x-coordinates is zero. Division by zero is not defined, so the slope of this line is undefined. You can't write its equation in point-slope form, because there is no slope for this line.
