Answer:

Width is 10 Length is 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = 60

Length = W + 10

P = 2L + 2W Write the equation for perimeter

60 = 2(W + 10) + 2W Substitute your variables

60 = 4W + 20

- 20 - 20 Subtract 20 from both sides

40 = 4W Divide both sides by 4

10 = W

Answer:

width is 10 and length is 20

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2><u>find the length and width</u></h2><h3>perimeter of a rectangle is = 2*length + 2*width</h3>

lets give length and with a variable

length = l

width = w

hence perimeter formula is 2l +2 w

The perimeter of a rectangle is 60. The length is 10 more than the width.

<h3><u>hence this statement helps us to create 2 formulas</u></h3>

l = w + 10

and

2l + 2w = 60

<h3><u>finding w </u></h3>

we can make use of the substitution method. where l is in the second formula place w+ 10 there.

2(w + 10 )+2w = 60

2w + 20 +2w = 60

4w + 20 = 60

4w = 60-20

4w = 40

<u></u>

place the value of w into the first formula so we can find l

l = 10 +10

<u></u>

hence this shows that the <u>width is 10 and length is 20 </u>

Jessica and Riley are selling wrapping paper for a school fundraiser. Customers can buy rolls of plain wrapping

bixtya [17]

Answer:

Cost of one roll of plain wrapping: $\$5$

Cost of one roll of holiday wrapping paper: $\$19$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "p" the cost in dollars of one roll of plain wrapping paper and "h" the cost in dollars of one roll of holiday wrapping paper.

Based on the information given, we can set up this system of equations:

$\left \{ {{5p+13h=272} \atop {11p+16h=359}} \right.$

In order to solve it, we can use the Substitution method. The steps are:

1. Solve for "p" from the first equation:

$5p+13h=272\\\\5p=272-13h\\\\p=\frac{272-13h}{5}$

2. Substitute the above into the second equation and solve for "h":

$11(\frac{272-13h}{5})+16h=359\\\\598.4-28.6h+16h=359\\\\-12.6h=359-598.4\\\\h=\frac{-239.4}{-12.6}\\\\h=19$

3. Substitute the value of "h" into $p=\frac{272-13h}{5}$ :

$p=\frac{272-13(19)}{5}\\\\p=5$

Line p passes through points (6, 8) and (2, 11). Line q is perpendicular to p. What is the slope of line q?

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of p= $\frac{11-8}{2-6}$

= - $\frac{3}{4}$

∵line q is perpendicular to p

∴Slope of q x slop of p=-1

Slope of line q= $\frac{4}{3}$

(a) Use the power series expansions for ex, sin x, cos x, and geometric series to find the first three nonzero terms in the powe

Fofino [41]

Answer:

a) $\mathbf{4 + \dfrac{x}{1!}- \dfrac{2x^2}{2!} ...}$

b) See Below for proper explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The objective here is to Use the power series expansions for ex, sin x, cos x, and geometric series to find the first three nonzero terms in the power series expansion of the given function.

The function is $e^x + 3 \ cos \ x$

The expansion is of $e^x$ is $e^x = 1 + \dfrac{x}{1!}+ \dfrac{x^2}{2!}+ \dfrac{x^3}{3!} + ...$

The expansion of cos x is $cos \ x = 1 - \dfrac{x^2}{2!}+ \dfrac{x^4}{4!}- \dfrac{x^6}{6!}+ ...$

Therefore; $e^x + 3 \ cos \ x = 1 + \dfrac{x}{1!}+ \dfrac{x^2}{2!}+ \dfrac{x^3}{3!} + ... 3[1 - \dfrac{x^2}{2!}+ \dfrac{x^4}{4!}- \dfrac{x^6}{6!}+ ...]$

$e^x + 3 \ cos \ x = 4 + \dfrac{x}{1!}- \dfrac{2x^2}{2!} + \dfrac{x^3}{3!}+ ...$

Thus, the first three terms of the above series are:

$\mathbf{4 + \dfrac{x}{1!}- \dfrac{2x^2}{2!} ...}$

The series for $e^x + 3 \ cos \ x$ is $\sum \limits^{\infty}_{x=0} \dfrac{x^x}{n!} + 3 \sum \limits^{\infty}_{x=0} ( -1 )^x \dfrac{x^{2x}}{(2n)!}$

let consider the series; $\sum \limits^{\infty}_{x=0} \dfrac{x^x}{n!}$

$|\frac{a_x+1}{a_x}| = | \frac{x^{n+1}}{(n+1)!} * \frac{n!}{x^x}| = |\frac{x}{(n+1)}| \to 0 \ as \ n \to \infty$

Thus it converges for all value of x

Let also consider the series $\sum \limits^{\infty}_{x=0}(-1)^x\dfrac{x^{2n}}{(2n)!}$

It also converges for all values of x
