Find the dimensions of a rectangle whose width is 8 miles less than its length and whose area is 84 square miles

Mathematics

Vikki [24]4 years ago

We are going to name variables to solve the problem:
 x = length
 (x-8) = width
 The area of the rectangle by definition is:
 A = (x) * (x-8) = 84
 Rewriting:
 (x) * (x-8) = 84
 x ^ 2-8x-84 = 0
 Solving the polynomial:
 (x-14) * (x + 6) = 0
 x = 14
 x = -6
 We need the values x> 0
 Thus,
 x = 14 (length)
 (14-8) = 6 (wide)
 Answer:
 the dimensions of a rectangle are
 length = 14 mi
 wide = 6 mi

How to tell if a table is a exponential decay function an exponential growth function or neither
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

Exponential function: a*b^x

if B is less than 1, it is a decay function

if B is more than 1, then it is a growth function  

if B is 0, then the function neither decreases nor increases

Example 1: 100*0.14^x

The y-intercept is decreasing by 86%

Example 2: 3000*1.14^x

The y-intercept is increasing by 14%

Example 3: 400*0

The y-intercept is neither decreasing nor increasing

Going back to the function, <u>a</u> is the y-intercept, and <u>b</u> is the rate

<u>I hope this will help you, I just started to learn about exponential functions..</u>

Whose good at Geomtry, specifically trigonometry?!!?
ddd [48]

Answer:

C. 2.8 miles per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you that ...

... Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

In the relevant triangle, the side opposite the angle at the observer is the altitude of the airplane, 2 miles. The side adjacent is the horizontal distance to the airplane. At the first observation, that distance (d1) is ...

... tan(40°) = (2 mi)/d1

At the second observation, the horizontal distance to the airplane (d2) is ...

... tan(50°) = (2 mi)/d2

Solving for d1 and d2 and finding the difference (∆d), we have ...

... d1 = (2 mi)/tan(40°)

... d2 = (2 mi)/tan(50°)

... ∆d = d1 -d2 = (2 mi)(1/tan(40°) -1/tan(50°) ≈ 2·(1.1918 -0.8391) mi

... ∆d ≈ 2°0.3526 mi ≈ 0.7053 mi

This distance was flown by the plane in 15 seconds, so it will travel 4 times this distance in 60 seconds (1 minute).

... ∆d/∆t = (0.7053 mi)/(1/4 min) = 4·0.7053 mi/min ≈ 2.8 mi/min
