Answer:

24 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

2.5 inches represents 15 miles,

so 1 inch must represent 15/2.5 = 6 miles.


Since the cities are 4 inches apart on map, they will be 6*4 = 24 miles apart in actual.

The length of the rectangle is x cm. The length of a diagonal of the rectangle is 8 crn. The perimeter of the rectangle is 20 cm
klemol [59]

Answer:

x^2-10x+18=0

<em>a</em> = -10 and <em>b</em> = 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>w</em> represent the width of the rectangle.

We are given that the perimeter of the rectangle is 20 cm, this means that:

20=2(x + w)

Let's put <em>w</em> in terms of <em>x</em>. Divide both sides by two:

10=x+w

And solve for <em>w:</em>

<em />w=10-x<em />

So, the rectangle measures <em>x</em> by (10 -<em> x</em>) cm.

<em />

According to the Pythagorean Theorem:

a^2+b^2=c^2

<em>a</em> and <em>b</em> are the legs and <em>c</em> is the hypotenuse.

Substitute <em>x</em> for <em>a, w</em> for <em>b</em>, and 8 for <em>c:</em>

<em />x^2+w^2=8^2<em />

Simplify and substitute:

x^2+(10-x)^2=64

Square:

x^2+(100-20x+x^2)=64

Isolate the equation. So:

2x^2-20x+36=0

Since the leading coefficient is one, divide both sides by two:

x^2-10x+18=0

Therefore, <em>a</em> = -10 and <em>b</em> = 18.

Answer:

P=40(1.03526)^{t}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Exponential Growth </u>

The natural growth of some magnitudes can be modeled by the equation:

P=P_o(1+r)^{t}

Where P is the actual amount of the magnitude, Po is its initial amount, r is the growth rate and t is the time.

The initial number of bacteria is Po=40 and it doubles (P=2Po) at t=20 min. With that point we can find the value of r:

2P_o=P_o(1+r)^{20}

Simplifying:

(1+r)^{20}=2

Solving for 1+r:

1+r=\sqrt[20]{2}

1+r=1.03526

The exponential function that models the situation is:

\mathbf{P=40(1.03526)^{t}}

Ralph buys a desk that regularly sells for $250 and a desk chair that regularly sells for $145. both items are on sale at 15% of
Lunna [17]
C) (0.85 + x/100)(250+145) does not give the correct answer.

Explanation
A) works; adding the two costs together is 250+145=395.  We multiply this by 0.85 because 100%-15%=85%=0.85.  We also have x% tax, which is represented by x/100, added to 100% of the value, or 1.00.  Altogether this gives us 
395(0.85)(1+x/100) = 395(0.85 + (0.85x/100)) = 395(0.85) + 395(0.85x/100)
= 395(0.85) + 395(0.0085x)
B) works; we have 250+145 for the original price; we have 85% = 0.85 of the value; we also have 100% + x%, which is (100+x)/100.
C) does not work; (0.85+x/100)(395) does not take into consideration that you are finding the tax after taking the 85%.  This will simplify out to
0.85*395 + (x/100)(395) = 335.75 + 395x/100 = 335.75 + 3.95x, which is too much.
D) works; simplifying the expression from A, we have 395(0.85) + 395(0.0085x) = 335.75 + 3.3575x.
