Answer:length=7 feet Width=5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Area=35

Length=L

Width=L

L+8=3 x w L=3w-8

Area=L x w

35=Lw

35=w(3w-8)

35=3w^2-8w

3w^2-8w-35=0

3w^2+7w-15w-35=0

w(3w+7)-5(3w+7)=0

(w-5)(3w+7)=0

w-5=0 3w+7=0

w=5 3w=-7 w=-7/3

We are only interested in The positive answer which is width =5 feet

substitute w=5 in 35=L X w

35=L x w

35=L x 5

L=35/5

L=7

Length =7 feet

Bingel [31]

Answer: 175

Step-by-step explanation: First, a group of five hundred combs produces 34 defective combs. So if they make 2,500, you multiply how many times you add 500 to get to 2,500, which should be 5. Now multiply that to 34 and you get 175! To check it, divide: 34 divide by 150. Hope this helps!

Determine whether each of these functions is O(x^2 ).
otez555 [7]

Answer:

  • (a)  no
  • (b)  yes
  • (c)  no
  • (d)  no

Step-by-step explanation:

"Of the order x^2" means the dominant behavior matches that of x^2 as x gets large. For polynomial functions, the dominant behavior is that of the highest-degree term.

For other functions, the dominant behavior will typically be governed in some other way. Here, the rate of growth of the x·log(x) function is determined by log(x), which has decreasing slope as x increases.

Only answer selection B has a highest-degree term of x^2, so only that one exhibits O(x^2) behavior.

The interior angles formed by the sides of a quadrilateral have measures that sum to 360°.
vova2212 [387]

add all the angles and make them equal to 360

88 + 108 + (3x-6) + 2x = 360

196 + 5x -6 = 360

190 + 5x = 360

5x = 170

x = 34 = answer

Which two values of x are roots
FrozenT [24]
The answer is C. 

To solve these types of equations you first need to make sure that you equation is equal to 0. In this case all of the numbers are already on the same side so no work needs to be done there. Then we can get a, b and c values for the quadratic equation by looking at the coefficients. 

a = 4 (number attached to x^2)
b = -6 (number attached to x)
c = 1 (number with no variable attached)

Now we can put this into the quadratic equation. 

\frac{-b +/-  \sqrt{ b^{2} -4ac} }{2a}

\frac{6 +/- \sqrt{ -6^{2} -4(4)(1)} }{2(4)}

\frac{6 +/- \sqrt{20} }{8}
