Answer:

Length and the width of the rectangle is 15.5 inches and 8.5 inches respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length = 7 inches + Width

=> P = 48 inches

=> L = (7 + W) inches............. (1)

Perimeter 'P' is the sum of all sides of the rectangle 2 (L + W)

∴ 48 inches = 2 (L + W) .................(2)

Substitute for L in equation (2)

∴ 48 inches = 2 [(7 + W) + W]

48 = 2[7 + 2W]

48 = 14 +4W

48 - 14 = 4W

34 = 4W

W = 8.5 inches

Recall that: Length, L = (7 + W)

∴ L = (7 + 8.5)

L = 15.5 inches

Answer:

Width = 8.5 inches

Length = 15.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Width = W

Length = 7 + W

Perimeter = 2(Length) + 2(Width)

Substitute

48 = 2(7 + W) + 2(W)

Multiply

48 = 14 + 2W + 2W

Add

48 = 14 + 4W

Subtract 14 from both sides of the equation

34 = 4W

Divide both sides of the equation by 4

W = 8.5

Width = 8.5 inches

Length = 7 + Width = 7 + 8.5 = 15.5 inches

Hope this helps :)

Mike has a barrel in the barn to keep water for his cows. The barrel is 4.5 feet tall and has a diameter of 3 feet. Approximatel

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

Approximately $238\ gallons$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of a cylinder (barrel) is equal to

$V=\pi r^{2}h$

in this problem we have

$h=4.5\ ft$

$r=3/2=1.5\ ft$ -----> the radius is half the diameter

substitute

$V=(3.14)(1.5^{2})(4.5)=31.7925\ ft^{3}$

<u>Convert to gallons</u>

$31.7925\ ft^{3}*7.5=238.44\ gallons$

At a pet store, one fifth of the animals are cats and three-fourth are fish. There are 40 animals at the pet store. How many are

dybincka [34]

Answer:

2 animals

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of animals=40

Fraction of fish=3/4

=>number of fish=3/4*40=30

Fraction of cats=1/5

=>number of cats=1/5*40=8

Animals which are not cats or fish are=total number of animals-(number of cats + number of fish)

Animals which are not cats or fish=40-(8+30)

40-38

2 animals

Suppose that f : [a, b] → [a, b] is continuous. Prove that f has a fixed point. That is, prove that there exists c ∈ [a, b] such

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

define the function:

$g(x) = f(x) -x$

As both $f(x)$ and x are continuous functions, $g(x)$ will also be continuous.

Now, what can we say about $g(a) = f(a) -a$ ?

we know that $a\leq f(a) \leq b$ , thus:

$a-a\leq f(a)-a \leq b-a\\0 \leq g(a) \leq b-a$

thus $g(a)$ is non-negative.

What about $g(b)$ ? Again we have:

$a\leq f(b) \leq b\\a-b \leq f(b) -b \leq 0\\a-b \leq g(b) \leq 0$

That means that $g(b)$ is not positive.

Now, we can imagine two cases, either one of $g(a)$ or $g(b)$ is equal to zero, or none of them is. If either of them is equal to zero, we have found a fixed point! In fact, any point $c$ for which $g(c)=0$ is a fixed point, because:

$g(c) = 0 \implies f(c) -c = 0 \implies f(c) = c$

Now, if $g(a) \neq 0$ and $g(b) \neq 0$ , then we have that

$g(a) >0$ and $g(b) < 0$ . And by Bolzano's theorem we can assert that there must exist a point c between a and b for which $g(c)=0$ . And as we have shown before that point would be a fixed point. This completes the proof.
