Ok, First, change 2/3 to 8/12 by multiplying 3 x 4 which gives you 12. So, 8/12 - 8/12 gives you 0. Hope this helped.

You times the denominator from 2/3 by 4 so it can be equivalent to 8/12
2/3 x 4 = 8/12-8/12=0

Determine whether the given length can be side lengths of a right triangle. 12m, 60m, 61m

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the converse of Pythagoras' identity.

If the longest side squared is equal to the sum of the squares of the other 2 sides then the triangle is right.

The longest side = 61, thus

61² = 3721

12² + 60² = 144 + 3600 = 3744 ≠ 3721

Thus these sides do not form a right triangle.

A population of insects increases at a rate of 1.5% per day. About how long will it take the population to double?

never [62]

The correct answer is:

46.6 days

Explanation:

The general form for exponential growth is

$A=p(1+r)^t$ , where A is the total amount, p is the initial amount, r is the percent of growth, and t is the amount of time (in this case, days).

We do not know the initial amount, the total amount, or the amount of time. We do know that r, the percent of growth, is 1.5%; 1.5% = 1.5/100 = 0.015:

$A=p(1+0.015)^t$

We also know we want the total amount, A, to be twice that of the initial amount, p:

$2p = p(1+0.015)^t
\\
2p=p(1.015)^t$

Divide both sides by p:

$\frac{2p}{p}=\frac{p(1.015)^t}{p}
\\
\\ 2=1.015^t$

Using logarithms to solve this,

$\log_{1.015}(2)=t
\\
\\46.6=t$

A rectangle Has an area of 252 yd.². The length of the rectangle is 10 yards longer than twice it’s worth. Find the width and le

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

Width = 9 yds

Length = 28 yds

Step-by-step explanation:

Width = x

Length = 2x + 10

Area is 252 yd²

x(2x + 10) = 252

2x² + 10x - 252 = 0

2 (x + 14) (x - 9) = 0

(x + 14) (x - 9) = 0

x = - 14 or x = 9

Width = 9 yds

Length = 2x9 + 10 = 28 yds
