Answer:

9 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of rectangle= length ×width

Let the length of the rectangle be x inches.

Width of rectangle= (x +2) inches

since the width is 2 more than the length.

63= x(x+2)

63= x(x) +2x

Bringing constant to one side,

x² +2x -63= 0

(x +9)(x-7) = 0 (factorise)

x+9= 0 or x-7= 0

x= -9 or x= 7

(reject)

width of rectangle

= 7+2

= 9 inches

*We reject x= -9 since the length of the rectangle cannot be a negative number.

Set $f(x)=2x^3-3x^2+2$ . Find the tangent line $\ell_1(x)$ to $f(x)$ at the point when $x=x_1$ :

$f'(x)=6x^2-6x\implies f'(x_1)=12$ (slope of $\ell_1$ )

$\implies\ell_1(x)=12(x-x_1)+f(x_1)=12(x+1)-3=12x+9$

Set $x_2=-\dfrac9{12}$ , the root of $\ell_1(x)$ . The tangent line $\ell_2(x)$ to $f(x)$ at $x=x_2$ has slope and thus equation

$f'(x_2)=\dfrac{63}8\implies\ell_2(x)=\dfrac{63}8\left(x+\dfrac9{12}\right)-\dfrac{17}{32}=7x+\dfrac{151}{32}$

which has its root at $x_3=-\dfrac{151}{224}\approx-0.6741$ .

(The actual value of this root is about -0.6777)

4. (a) A woman whose annual salary is $55,400 gets a 4% raise. What is her new annual salary?

Kamila [148]

Answer:

$57616

Step-by-step explanation:

When you have a percent value, you may change it into a decimal by moving the decimal place 2 to the left. This means that 4% turned into a decimal is 0.04. In order to solve this problem we must multiply 55,400 by 0.04. When we do this, we get 2216. Last but not least, we must add 55,400 and 2216 together to get her salary with the raise.

Hope this helps -Cam ♡
