The length of a swimming pool is 10 ft shorter than twice the width. the length is 35 ft. what is the width

1 answer:

8 0

Okay so we need to figure out the width of the swimming pool using the length, and we know the width is 10 ft shorter than twice the width. I believe the easiest way to do this would be to first do 35-10, and then divide it in half. That gives us 12.5. To check our work I'll do the problem 12.5+12.5+10=35.

The width of the swimming pool is 12.5 ft.

Divide the number of people who bought tickets by total people in the seats:

15 / 22 = 0.681818

The 8181 part continues forever, so there will be a line above the 81.

The answer is the first one.

The length of a rectangle is 2 foot less than 3 times its width. Find the the dimensions of this rectangle if the area is 96 squ

Xelga [282]

For example,area = a, length = l, width = w
First we write two equations. The easier equation is the area equation, which we know to be
a = l x w
So that the first equation is :
96 = l x w 

we make the second equation of the following statements :
The length of a rectangle is 2 foot less than 3 times its width.
so it becomes :
l = 3w - 2

To solve, we can use the substitution method.

$96 = l \times w\\96=(3w-2) \times w\\96=3w^{2}-2w\\3w^{2}-2w-96=0~~~~~~[now\ factor\ the\ equation]\\ (3w+16)(w-6)=0$

$3w+16=0\\3w=-16\\w= -\frac{16}{3}~~~~\Rightarrow~~~answer\ doesnt\ make\ sense\ , negative\ width.
$

$w-6=0\\\boxed{w=6~~~~~~~\Rightarrow~~~~positive\ answer\ for\ width\ makes\ sense }
$

So if our width is 6, Now substitute the value of w = 6 into equation 2 

$l=3w-2\\l=3(6)-2\\l=18-2\\l=16$

So "w" = 6 and "l" = 16, and if we multiply them together, we get the correct area, 96. So our dimensions are 6 by 16.

MATRECIES: Suppose ={u,v,w}⊆R3 is linearly independent. Determine if the set 4 ={u, v, v−w, u+v+w} is linearly independent or li

AlladinOne [14]

The set is linearly dependent.

To explicitly prove this, we need to show there is at least one choice of constants $c_1,c_2,c_3,c_3\in\Bbb R$ such that

$c_1 u + c_2 v + c_3(v-w) + c_4(u+v+w) = 0$

or equivalently,

$(c_1 + c_4) u + (c_2 + c_3 + c_4) v + (-c_3 + c_4) w = 0$

which is the same as solving the system of equations

$\begin{cases} c_1 + c_4 = 0 \\ c_2 + c_3 + c_4 = 0 \\ -c_3 + c_4 = 0 \end{cases}$

From the first and last equations, we have $c_1=-c_4$ and $c_3=c_4$ . Substituting these into the second equation leaves us with $c_2-2c_1=0$ , and so the overall solution set is
