(i) The length of the longer side is 3 cm

(ii) The length of the longer side is 6 cm

(iii) The length of the longer side is 15 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangle has sides in the ratio 1 : 3, we need to find the length of the longer side if:

  • The length of the shorter side is 1 cm
  • The length of the shorter side is 2 cm
  • The length of the shorter side is 5 cm

Let us use the ratio method to solve the problem

(i)

∵ The ratio of the two sides of the rectangle is 1 : 3

∵ The length of the shorter side is 1 cm

→  Shorter    :    Longer

→  1               :    3

→  1               :    x

By using cross multiplication

∴ 1 × x = 1 × 3

∴ x = 3

∵ x represents the length of the longer side

∴ The length of the longer side = 3 cm

The length of the longer side is 3 cm

(ii)

∵ The ratio of the two sides of the rectangle is 1 : 3

∵ The length of the shorter side is 2 cm

→  Shorter    :    Longer

→  1               :    3

→  2               :    x

By using cross multiplication

∴ 1 × x = 2 × 3

∴ x = 6

∵ x represents the length of the longer side

∴ The length of the longer side = 6 cm

The length of the longer side is 6 cm

(iii)

∵ The ratio of the two sides of the rectangle is 1 : 3

∵ The length of the shorter side is 5 cm

→  Shorter    :    Longer

→  1               :    3

→  5               :    x

By using cross multiplication

∴ 1 × x = 5 × 3

∴ x = 15

∵ x represents the length of the longer side

∴ The length of the longer side = 15 cm

The length of the longer side is 15 cm

E^2x - e^x - 6 = 0 (solve exponential equation(
krek1111 [17]

Let's assume, e^x = y.

Hence, the given equation can be written as:

y² - y - 6 = 0

Next step is to factor the trinomial. For that, break down the constant -6 into two multiples so that their addition will result the coefficient of y =-1.

So, 6 = -3* 2

And sum of -3 and 2 will give -1.

Therefore, we can replace -y with -3y + 2y. So,

y² - 3y + 2y - 6 =0

(y² - 3y) + (2y - 6) =0 Make the group of terms.

y(y - 3)+ 2(y -3) =0 Take out the common factor from each group.

(y - 3 ) (y + 2) = 0 Take out the common factor (y - 3).

So, y - 3 = 0 and y + 2 =0 Equate both factor equal to 0.

Hence, y = 3 and -2.

So, e^x = 3 , e^x=-2

lne^x =ln 3 , lne^x=ln(-2) Taking ln to each sides.

So, x = ln 3

But ln (-2) is not defined.

So, x = ln (3) is the real solution of the given equation.
