----------------------------------
Define x :
----------------------------------
Let the width be x.
Width = x
Length = 2x + 5                // Length is 5ft longer than twice the width

----------------------------------
Formula for Perimeter :
----------------------------------
Perimeter = 2 (Length + Width)

----------------------------------
Find Width :
----------------------------------
58 = 2 ( 2x + 5 + x)         // Substitute Length and Width into formula
58 = 2 (3x + 5)                // Combine like terms
58 = 6x + 10                    // Apply distributive property
48 = 6x                            // Take away 10 from both sides
6x = 48                            // Switch sides. Make x the subject
x = 8                                // Divide by 6 on both sides

----------------------------------
Find Length and Width :
----------------------------------
Width = x = 8 ft
Length = 2x + 5 = 2(8) + 5 = 21 ft

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The length is 21 ft and the width is 8 ft.

Length= 5+2x
Width = x

Perimeter = 2(l+w)=58
= 2(5+2x+x)=58
= 2(5+3x)=58
= 10+6x =58
= 6x= 48
X= 8
Width=8
Length= 21

What is the conjugate? See image below! Please help asap
Stolb23 [73]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • 2 +3i
  • 8 -i√5
  • 7 +2i
  • 4 +√7

Step-by-step explanation:

The conjugate is found by changing the sign of the square root term.‡ (For this purpose, i = √-1.)

a) the sign of 3i is changed: 2 + 3i

b) the sign of sqrt(-5) is changed: 8 -sqrt(-5) = 8 -i√5

c) the sign of 2i is changed: 7 +2i

d) the sign of sqrt(7) is changed: 4 +√7

_____

‡ Actually, the conjugate of a binomial is formed by changing the sign <em>between</em> terms. The purpose is to allow the product of the binomial and its conjugate to be the difference of squares.

Conventionally, the conjugate of a complex number is the value with the sign of the imaginary part reversed. That is why (-2i+7)* = 7+2i.

Determine if the lines are parallel, perpendicular or neither y=-3/2x-4 and y=2/3x-7
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

<u>They are perpendicular</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negated versions of the other or positive versions of the slope of the other. The slopes are also flipped.

Parallel lines have the same slope.

Neither is when the lines do not follow either of these definitions.

The slope of your two lines are -3/2 and 2/3. These slopes are flipped and the opposite negations of each other. <u>This means the lines are perpendicular.</u>

Which statement below about roots is false.Immersive Reader (5 Points) Simplified radicals have a positive and a negative root.
scoray [572]

Answer:

Statement (B)

Step-by-step explanation:

Which statement below about roots is false?

Let's arrange the statements by assigning option-letters a, b, c, d to them.

(A) Simplified radicals have a positive and a negative root.

This is true, as the root of any number is either a positive or a negative; especially if the rooting index is an even number like 2 or 4. For example, the square root (when the index is 2) of 9 is either +3 or -3. To check, find their squares. +3 x +3 = 9 and -3 x -3 = 9.

(B) A radicand is the symbol used when working with roots.

This statement is false, as the name for the symbol used in root operations is "radical symbol". A radicand is the number or expression whose roots are about to be found. It is the expression that lies under or inside the radical symbol!

(C) Exponents and Roots are inverses.

Exponents are the powers to which mathematical expressions are raised. Roots are the indexes by which mathematical expressions are divided. Exponents are hence the opposites or inverses of roots.

(D) Roots can be squared, cubed, quadrupled, or raised to higher powers.

Yes! The root of a mathematical expression or figure can be raised to any number or power, be it 2 (square), 3 (cube), 4 (quadruple), 5 (quintuple) or 100 (cent).
