Answer:

The width of the piece is 11 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the length of the rectangular piece of aluminum in inches

y ----> the width of the rectangular piece of aluminum in inches

we know that

The perimeter of the rectangular piece of aluminum is equal to

$P=2(x+y)$

we have

$P=64\ in$

$64=2(x+y)$

simplify

$32=x+y$ ----> equation A

$x=y+10$ ----> equation B

Solve the system by substitution

substitute equation B in equation A

$32=y+10+y$

solve for y

$32=2y+10$

$2y=32-10$

$2y=22$

$y=11$

therefore

The width of the piece is 11 inches

In your own words, explain to me what is absolute value? Make sure to talk about the definition of it, how you find it, and how

Tom [10]

Answer:

It's a function that associates a real number x with a positive real number using the flowing definition: If the number is not negative (so either positive or 0) the absolute value is x. If x is negative, the absolute value is -x.

This means that to find the absolute value of x you must first determine if x is negative or not, and if it is, multiply it by -1. If it isn't, leave it as it is.

Since the absolute value is a function (of a given number), you can't just plot that number in the number line but the function (so in this case absolute value must be taken first.

The absolute value of x is never negative, so given the absolute value of x we can't determinate if x was positive or negative (if x =/ 0) before the absolute value was taken.

What’s the geometric mean of 12 and 5

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

The geometric mean is √(60) or about 7.75

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the geometric mean, you have to use the following equation.

GM = √(a×b)

Now we input the two numbers for a and b

GM = √(a×b)

GM = √(12×5)

GM = √(60) or about 7.75

Write an explicit formula for this table

Artist 52 [7]

The explicit formula would be $g_n=5(3)^{n-1}$ .

This is a geometric sequence, since we are multiplying each term by a constant to find the next term.

The explicit formula for a geometric sequence is given by
$g_n=g_1(r)^{n-1}$ ,
where g₁ is the first term and r is the common ratio, or the number that is multiplied to get the next term.

Our first term is 5, and the common ratio is 3.
