$x-\ width\\
y-\ length\\
4x=y\\
(y+4)(x-1)=60\\
(4x+4)(x-1)=60\\
4x^2-4x+4x+4=60\ \ | subtract\ 4\\
4x^2=56\ \ | divide\ by\ 4\\
x^2=14\\
x=\sqrt{14}\\
y=4\sqrt{14}\\\\
Dimensions:\ width=\sqrt{14}in,\ length=4\sqrt{14}in.$

The exponential function modeled by the following table?

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

$f(x)=3^x$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the table;

When x=2, $y=9=3^2$

When x=3, $y=27=3^3$

When x=4, $y=81=3^4$

We can infer from the pattern that;

$f(x)=3^x$

If the length of rectangle is three times its width and its perimeter is 24 cm,what is the lenght and with

mezya [45]

x=width

3x=length

3x+x=24

4x=24

4x/4=24/4

x=6

x=width=6cm

3x=length=18cm

18/2=9 cm

6/2=3cm

Length=9cm

width=3cm

because there are two length sides and 2 width sides

The linear density of a rod of length 4 m is given by rho(x) = 6 + 5 x measured in kilograms per meter, where x is measured in m

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

M(t) = 64 Kgs

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total mass of the rod, we have to integrate the expression

M(x) = ∫₀⁴ rho(x)*dx

Where rho (x) = 6 + 5*x in Kgs /m

M(x) = ∫₀⁴ ( 6 + 5*x ) dx ⇒ M(x) = ∫₀⁴ 6 dx + ∫₀⁴ 5*x dx

M(x) = 6x |₀⁴ + 5* x²/2 |₀⁴

M(x) = 6( 4 - 0 ) + 5/2 ( 16 - 0 )

M(x) = 24 + 40 Kgs

M(t) = 64 Kgs

Roll a die 10 sided die 3 times. What is the probability that the sequence is strictly increasing or decreasing?

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

The probability of obtaining a sequence which is neither strictly increasing nor decreasing in 0.76.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 10 possible outcomes on a single throw.

So, outcomes in 3 throws = $10^{3} =1000$ outcomes.

Let x be the number of strictly increasing arrangements.

Let y be the number of strictly decreasing arrangements.

Let z be the number of outcomes that are neither strictly decreasing nor strictly increasing

So, we have $x+y+z=1000$

If we look at a strictly increasing arrangement from the other/opposite side, it will look like a strictly decreasing arrangement.

So, x = y

Hence, we can say the final equation will be :

$2x+z=1000$

And for strictly increasing arrangements ,all 3 numbers will be different and it can be done in 10C3 ways.

10C3= $\frac{10!}{3!7!}$ = 120 ways

So, $2x=2\times120=240$

Thus $z=1000-240=760$

So, the probability is = $\frac{760}{1000} = 0.76$

Therefore, the probability of obtaining a sequence which is neither strictly increasing nor decreasing in 0.76.
