The formula for the area of a rectangle is length times width, or A=l·w

The Area A=256 
The width is w
The lenght is given as 6 feet less than 4 times its width, or in math language this is l=4w-6

Let's go back to the formula
A=l·w ⇒ 256=(4w-6)·w
simplify ⇒ 256=4w²-6w
put everything on the same side and set the equation equal to zero 
⇒ 4w²-6w-256=0
Solve for w using quadratic formula

You are going to get two answers after using the quadratic formula: one positive and one negative. Just remember it doesn't make sense to get a negative answer if we are talking about width, so use the positive answer only

w≈8.7851 units

Width is x
Length is 4x-6
total area=256
256=length*width
256=x*(4x-6)
256=4x^2-6x
256=4x^2-6x
0=4x^2-6x-256
You can solve the equation-
you should get (3+-√1033)/4- Hope this helps

Cos(3pi/4)= HELLPPPP
Kitty [74]
3π/4 angle is in the second quadrant, so cos (3π/4) is going to be negative.

Reference angle of 3π/4 is (π - 3π/4) = π/4

cos(π/4) = √2/2

cos (3π/4) = - √2/2

Answer is C.

The Volume () of gas vanes inversely to the pressure (P). The volume of gas is 200 cm ^ 3 under pressure of 32 kg/cm^ 2 What wil
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

0.025 Kg/ cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

if two variables vary inversely, there is a negative relationship between both variables. the increase in one variable leads to a decrease in the other variable

the equation that represents inverse proportion :

y = \frac{b}{x}

where b = constant of proportionality

to determine the answer in this question :

1. determine constant of proportionality

200 = k / 32

k = 6400

2. Determine the amount of pressure using the constant of proportionality

256, 000 = 6400 / pressure

pressure = 6400 / 256, 000 = 0.025
