Answer:

width: 5.5 yd; length: 8 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w represent the width of the rectangle in yards. Then 2w-3 is the length and the area is the product of length and width:

w(2w-3) = 44

2w^2 -3w -44 = 0 . . . . put the equation into standard form

(w+4)(2w -11) = 0 . . . . . factor the equation

w = -4 or 11/2 . . . . . . . . the negative solution is extraneous

Then the length is 2·(11/2) -3 = 8.

The width of the rectangle is 5.5 yards; the length is 8 yards.

Kryger [21]
The Fibonacci Sequence is a stream of numbers that typically begins with a "0" or "1". From there, any number placed after would be added to the previous number. 
For instance, if I started with a "1", and the next number was a "2", the number after would be a "3". From this "3", it would be a "5", the next number would then be a "8". 
It would look like this:
1, 2, 3, 5, 8

Which function has the greatest rate of exponential growth?
Veronika [31]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find which of the expressions have the greatest rate of exponential growth.

The easiest way to go about this is have a substitution for the term t;

Let’s say t = 6

Thus;

h(t) = 1.18^1 = 1.18

K(t) = 0.375^6 = 0.002780914307

f(t) = 1.36^6 = 6.327518887936

g(t) = 0.86^6 = 0.404567235136

Another way to find this is to express each as a sum of 1

f(t) = (1+ 0.36)^t

g(t) = (1-0.14)^t

k(t) = (1-0.625)^t

We can see clearly that out of all the terms in the brackets asides 1, 0.36 is the biggest in value

Identify the type of slope and then find the slope of the line.
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

  • -1/2, negative slope

Step-by-step explanation:

As per graph it is visible that the slope is negative, it goes down when x-value increases

<u>Use two points to find the slope:</u>

  • (-4, -1) and (0, -3)

<u>Slope formula:</u>

  • m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

<u>Value of the slope:</u>

  • m = (-3 - (-1))/(0 - (-4)) = -2/4 = -1/2
