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

A line has a y-intercept at (0,4) and an x-intercept at (6,0). What is the slope of the line?
Iteru [2.4K]
3/2 is the answer
i say this because you have to think of the problem as

4y=6x

divide the 4

y=6x/4

simplify

Find a power series representation for the function. (Give your power series representation centered at x = 0.) f(x) = x/6x^2 +
timama [110]

Looks like your function is

f(x)=\dfrac x{6x^2+1}

Rewrite it as

f(x)=\dfrac x{1-(-6x^2)}

Recall that for |x|, we have

\dfrac1{1-x}=\displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^\infty x^n

If we replace x with -6x^2, we get

f(x)=\displaystyle x\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac(-6x^2)^n=\sum_{n=0}^\infty (-6)^n x^{2n+1}

By the ratio test, the series converges if

\displaystyle\lim_{n\to\infty}\left|\frac{(-6)^{n+1} x^{2(n+1)+1}}{(-6)^n x^{2n+1}}\right|=6|x^2|\lim_{n\to\infty}1=6|x|^2

Solving for x gives the interval of convergence,

|x|^2

We can confirm that the interval is open by checking for convergence at the endpoints; we'd find that the resulting series diverge.

Answer: D is correctly written in scientific notation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The base has to be between 1 and 10.

A has a base of 16.4 which is greater than 9.

B is not even in scientific because the base it being raise to an exponent

C has 0.71 as base which is less that.
