Answer: the length is 87 feet

The width is 40 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L represent the length of the playing field.

Let W represent the width of the playing field.

The playing field is rectangular. The formula for determining the perimeter of a rectangle is expressed as

Perimeter = 2(L + W)

The perimeter of a playing field for a certain sport is 254 ft. This means that

254 = 2(L + W)

L + W = 254/2

L + W = 127 - - - - - - - - - - - -1

The length is 47 ft longer than the width. This means that

L = W + 47

Substituting L = W + 47 into equation 1, it becomes

W + 47 + W = 127

2W + 47 = 127

2W = 127 - 47 = 80

W = 80/2 = 40

L = W + 47 = 40 + 47

L = 87

if the circumference of the shield is 100.48inches, nits radius is 16 inches and the area of the front of the shield is about 803.84 square inches.

proof

circumference = 2x r x Pi implies r =circumference / 2Pi=100.48/2x3.14=16

area = Pi x r²=3.14 x 16²=804.84

A) Find a recurrence relation for the number of bit strings of length n that contain a pair of consecutive 0s.

Fed [463]

Answer:

A) $a_{n} = a_{n-1} + a_{n-2} + 2^{n-2}$

B) $a_{0} = a_{1} = 0$

C) for n = 2

$a_{2}$ = 1

for n = 3

$a_{3}$ = 3

for n = 4

$a_{4}$ = 8

for n = 5

$a_{5}$ = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

A) A recurrence relation for the number of bit strings of length n that contain a pair of consecutive Os can be represented below

if a string (n ) ends with 00 for n-2 positions there are a pair of consecutive Os therefore there will be : $2^{n-2}$ strings

therefore for n ≥ 2

The recurrence relation for the number of bit strings of length 'n' that contains consecutive Os

$a_{n} = a_{n-1} + a_{n-2} + 2^{n-2}$

b ) The initial conditions

The initial conditions are : $a_{0} = a_{1} = 0$

C) The number of bit strings of length seven containing two consecutive 0s

here we apply the re occurrence relation and the initial conditions

$a_{n} = a_{n-1} + a_{n-2} + 2^{n-2}$

for n = 2

$a_{2}$ = 1

for n = 3

$a_{3}$ = 3

for n = 4

$a_{4}$ = 8

for n = 5

$a_{5}$ = 19

Evan saves $2 for every $5 he earns mowing lawns. How much will Evan have saved when he has earned $150?

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

he will have saved 45$

Step-by-step explanation:

if you take 2 from every 5 and 5 x 15 = 150, you would do 2 x 15 and get 30. So, the answer is 30$

Write an equation in point slope form of the line that passes through the point (6,-5) and has the slope 1/2

babymother [125]

Step-by-step explanation:

To find an equation of a line in point slope form when given the slope and a point we use the formula

$y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$

where

m is the slope

( x1 , y1) is the point

From the question we have the final answer as

$\huge y + 5 = \frac{1}{2} (x - 6) \\$

Hope this helps you
