Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Width= x

Length= 2x + 1

Area = 28

Area =>width × length

28 = x(2x + 1)

28 = 2x^2 + x

2x^2 + x - 28 = 0

x = 7/2 or -4

:- x = 7/2

Width = 3 1/2m

Length = 2x + 1 = 2(7/2) + 1

Length = 7 + 1 = 8m

Two containers hold several balls. Once a second, one of the balls is chosen at random and switched to the other container. Afte

natka813 [3]

Answer:

(a) 8 balls

(b) 4 balls

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

$N \to$ Number of balls

For a box, the probability that there are N balls in it is:

$Pr = 0.5^N$

For 2 boxes, it is:

$Pr = 2 * 0.5^N$

From the question, we have:

$\frac{80}{10000} \to$ Favorable outcome

To solve for N, we have:

$2 * 0.5^N = \frac{80}{10000}$

$2 * 0.5^N = 0.008$

Divide both sides by 2

$0.5^N = 0.004$

Take log of both sides

$\log(0.5^N) = \log(0.004)$

Apply law of logarithm

$N\log(0.5) = \log(0.004)$

Make N the subject

$N = \frac{\log(0.004)}{\log(0.5)}$

$N =7.966$

Approximate

$N = 8$

Solving (b): Balls in one of the two boxes.

Here, we assume that each ball will have almost the same number of balls at a given instance;

Hence, we have:

$Balls \approx \frac{N}{2}$

$Balls \approx \frac{8}{2}$

$Balls \approx 4$

<em>4 balls in each box</em>

Jenny is diving into a swimming pool from a diving board. The expression below represents Jenny's vertical height x, in feet, ab

fredd [130]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The projectile motion of Jenny's dive can be represented by $-at^2 + v_0t + h_0$ where a is acceleration, v_0 is velocity, t is time, and h_0 is initial height.

Jenny's vertical height above the water is represented by $-16x^2+12x+10$ . 10 is h_0 and is Jenny's initial height.

The summer has ended and it’s time to drain the swimming pool. 20 minutes after pulling the plug, there is still 45 000L of wate

WITCHER [35]

Answer:

a) -900 L/min

b) 63000 L

c) v = -900t +63000

d) 7200 L

Step-by-step explanation:

a) You are given two points on the curve of volume vs. time:

(t, v) = (20, 45000) and (70, 0)

The rate of change is ...

Δv/Δt = (0 -45000)/(70 -20) = -45000/50 = -900 . . . . liters per minute

__

b) In the first 20 minutes, the change in volume was ...

(20 min)(-900 L/min) = -18000 L

So, the initial volume was ...

initial volume -18000 = 45000

initial volume = 63,000 . . . . liters

__

c) Since we have the slope and the intercept, we can write the equation in slope-intercept form:

v = -900t +63000

__

d) Put the number in the equation and do the arithmetic.

When t=62, the amount remaining is ...

v = -900(62) +63000 = -55800 +63000 = 7200

7200 L remain after 62 minutes.
