Answer:

The length of the rectangle 'l' = 20

The width of the rectangle 'w' = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Explanation</u>:-

Let 'x' be the width

Given data the length of a rectangular patio is 8 feet less than twice its width

2x-8 = length

The area of rectangle = length X width

Given area of rectangle = 280 square feet

x(2x-8) = 280

2(x)(x-4) =280

x(x-4) =140

x^2 -4x -140=0

x^2-14x+10x-140=0

x(x-14)+10(x-14)=0

(x+10)(x-14) =0

x = -10 and x = 14

we can choose only x =14

The width of the rectangle 14

The length of the rectangle 2x-8 = 2(14)-8 = 28 -8 =20

The length of the rectangle 'l' = 20

The width of the rectangle 'w' = 14

if you roll a fair 6-sided die 9 times, what is the probability that at least 2 of the rolls come up as a 3 or a 4?
Kay [80]

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0.857 = 85.7% probability that at least 2 of the rolls come up as a 3 or a 4.

For each die, there are only two possible outcomes, either a 3 or a 4 is rolled, or it is not. The result of a roll is independent of any other roll, hence, the <em>binomial distribution</em> is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

The parameters are:

  • x is the number of successes.
  • n is the number of trials.
  • p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

In this problem:

  • There are 9 rolls, hence n = 9.
  • Of the six sides, 2 are 3 or 4, hence p = \frac{2}{6} = 0.3333

The desired probability is:

P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2)

In which:

P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)

Then

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{9,0}.(0.3333)^{0}.(0.6667)^{9} = 0.026

P(X = 1) = C_{9,1}.(0.3333)^{1}.(0.6667)^{8} = 0.117

Then:

P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.026 + 0.117 = 0.143

P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2) = 1 - 0.143 = 0.857

0.857 = 85.7% probability that at least 2 of the rolls come up as a 3 or a 4.

Jerald jumped from a bungee tower. If the equation that models his height, in feet, is h = –16t2 + 729, where t is the time in s
Snezhnost [94]

Answer. First option: t > 6.25


Solution:

Height (in feet): h=-16t^2+729

For which interval of time is h less than 104 feet above the ground?

h < 104

Replacing h for -16t^2+729

-16t^2+729 < 104

Solving for h: Subtracting 729 both sides of the inequality:

-16t^2+729-729 < 104-729

-16t^2 < -625

Multiplying the inequality by -1:

(-1)(-16t^2 < -625)

16t^2 > 625

Dividing both sides of the inequality by 16:

16t^2/16 > 625/16

t^2 > 39.0625

Replacing t^2 by [ Absolute value (t) ]^2:

[ Absolute value (t) ]^2 > 39.0625

Square root both sides of the inequality:

sqrt { [ Absolute value (t) ]^2 } > sqrt (39.0625)

Absolute value (t) > 6.25

t < -6.25 or t > 6.25, but t can not be negative, then the solution is:

t > 6.25
