Answer:

$P = 74\ meters$

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition the perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of the lengths of its 4 sides.

The formula for calculating the perimeter of a rectangle is as follows:

$P = 2w + 2l$

Where P is the perimeter, w is the width and l is the length.

In this case we want to find P and we know that:

$w =16\ meters$

$l =21\ meters$

Therefore:

$P = 2(16) + 2(21)$

$P = 32 + 42$

$P = 74\ meters$

Answer:

$\large\boxed{\bold{NO\ REAL\ SOLUTIONS}}\\\boxed{x=4-2i,\ x=4+2i}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$Domain:\\c-4\neq0\ \wedge\ c-5\neq0\Rightarrow c\neq4\ \wedge\ c\neq5\\\\\dfrac{c}{c-5}=\dfrac{4}{c-4}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\c(c-4)=4(c-5)\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\\\\c^2-4c=4c-20\qquad\text{subtract}\ 4c\ \text{from both sides}\\\\c^2-8c=-20\qquad\text{add 20 to both sides}\\\\c^2-8c+20=0\qquad\text{use the quadratic formula}$

$\text{for}\ ax^2+bx+c=0\\\\\text{if}\ b^2-4ac0,\ \text{then the equation has two solutions}\ x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$x^2-8x+20=0\\\\a=1,\ b=-8,\ c=20\\\\b^2-4ac=(-8)^2-4(1)(20)=64-80=-16$

$\text{In the set of complex numbers:}\\\\i=\sqrt{-1}\\\\\text{therefore}\ \sqrt{b^2-4ac}=\sqrt{-16}=\sqrt{(16)(-1)}=\sqrt{16}\cdot\sqrt{-1}=4i\\\\x=\dfrac{-(-8)\pm4i}{2(1)}=\dfrac{8\pm4i}{2}=\dfrac{8}{2}\pm\dfrac{4i}{2}=4\pm2i$

Convert 39°C to degrees Fahrenheit.

posledela

Given a temperature C in celsius, you can convert it to Fahrenheit by using the formula

$F=32 + \dfrac{9C}{5}$

In your case C=39, so you have

$F = 32 + \dfrac{9\cdot 39}{5} = 32+70.2=102.2$

Find the first, fourth, and tenth terms of the arithmetic sequence described by the given rule.

vekshin1

Simplify:

A(n) = -6 + (n - 1)(6) = -6 + (n)(6) + (-1)(6) = -6 + 6n - 6 = 6n - 12

Put n = 1, n = 4 and n = 10 to the expression:

A(1) = 6(1) - 12 = 6 - 12 = -6

A(4) = 6(4) - 12 = 24 - 12 = 12

A(10) = 6(10) - 12 = 60 - 12 = 48

<h3>Answer:</h3><h3>first term = -6, fourth term = 12 and tenth term = 48.</h3><h3>-6, 12, 48</h3>
