The answer should not depend on which machine or which pencil you use to
find it. If you work a problem two different ways and get two different answers,
then at least one of them is wrong, and there's a pretty good chance that both
of them are.
(9.99 of anything) + (1.11 of the same thing) = 11.1 of them
9.99 (x 10^-2) + 1.11 (x 10^-2) = <em>11.1 (x 10^-2)</em> .
Can we do any more with that ?
10^-2 = 1 / 10^2 = 1 / 100 .
11.1 x 10^-2 = 11.1 / 100 = <em>0.111</em>
Answer:
10m x 15m
Step-by-step explanation:
You are given some information.
1. The area of the garden: A₁ = 150m²
2. The area of the path: A₂ = 186m²
3. The width of the path: 3m
If the garden has width w and length l, the area of the garden is:
(1) A₁ = l * w
The area of the path is given by:
(2) A₂ = 3l + 3l + 3w + 3w + 4*3*3 = 6l + 6w + 36
Multiplying (2) with l gives:
(3) A₂l = 6l² + 6lw + 36l
Replacing l*w in (3) with A₁ from (1):
(4) A₂l = 6l² + 6A₁ + 36l
Combining:
(5) 6l² + (36 - A₂)l +6A₁ = 0
Simplifying:
(6) l² - 25l + 150 = 0
This equation can be factored:
(7) (l - 10)*(l - 15) = 0
Solving for l we get 2 solutions:
l₁ = 10, l₂ = 15
Using (1) to find w:
w₁ = 15, w₂ = 10
The two solutions are equivalent. The garden has dimensions 10m and 15m.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A dependent variable in an expression is one whose value can be determined only when the value of other variable (i.e independent) is known.
A. The cost at the fitness center depends on the number of months (x).
The cost is the dependent variable, and number of months (x) is the independent variable.
f(x) = 100 + 40x
Example, the cost paid for 12 months can be determined as;
f(12) = 100 + 40(12)
= 100 + 480
= 580
Thus, $580 would be paid for 12 months at the fitness center.
B. The lettuce is sold at $1.69 per pound. The cost depends on the number of pounds of lettuce bought.
The cost is the dependent variable, while the number of pounds of lettuce (x) bought is the independent variable.
So that;
f(x) = 1.69x
The cost of 10 pounds of lettuce can be determined as;
f(x) = 1.69(10)
= 16.9
Thus, the cost of 10 lb of lettuce is $16.90.
Answer:
Sea level
Step-by-step explanation:
In geography, 'Elevation' is measured in relation to sea level, so sea level would be zero.
Thus, Chicago is 600 feet above sea level and Seely, California is 200 feet below sea level.
If there were nothing but flat land all the way from Seely to the ocean, sea water would come in and cover Seely. Fortunately for the people in Seely. California's coastal mountain range is between the town and the ocean, so that does not happen.
