Answer:

She should make a rectangle with dimensions 14.4 cm by 4.2 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The diagonal of a rectangle is represented by \sqrt{length^2+width^2}.
  • Area of rectangle is = length×width
  • Perimeter of a  rectangle = 2(length+width).

Assume x be the width of the rectangle.

The length of the rectangle is to be 6 cm more than twice the width.

The length of the rectangle is= (2x+6) cm

Then the diagonal of the rectangle is \sqrt{length^2+width^2}

                                                             =\sqrt{(2x+6)^2+x^2}

                                                            =\sqrt{4x^2+24x+36+x^2}

                                                             =\sqrt{5x^2+24x+36} cm

According to the problem,

\sqrt{5x^2+24x+36}=15

Squaring both sides

\Rightarrow{5x^2+24x+36}=15^2

\Rightarrow{5x^2+24x+36}=225

\Rightarrow{5x^2+24x+36-225=0

\Rightarrow{5x^2+24x-189=0

⇒5x²+45x-21x-189=0

⇒5x(x+9)-21(x+9)=0

⇒(x+9)(5x-21)=0

⇒x+9=0  or,   5x-21=0

\Rightarrow x=-9, \frac{21}5

⇒x= -9, 4.2

Since the width of a rectangle can not negative.

So, x=4.2 cm

The width of rectangle is = 4.2 cm

The length of the rectangle is =(2×4.2+6)

                                                  =14.4 cm

She should make a rectangle with dimensions 14.4 cm by 4.2 cm.

How do I write a recursive formula for this sequence? 2, 6, 18, 54, 162, ... I already know the common difference is x3.
dmitriy555 [2]
For the sequence 2, 6, 18, 54, ..., the explicit formula is: an = a1 ! rn"1 = 2 ! 3n"1 , and the recursive formula is: a1 = 2, an+1 = an ! 3 . In each case, successively replacing n by 1, 2, 3, ... will yield the terms of the sequence. See the examples below.

Simplify (2*4)−1.

The simplification form of the number expression (2⁴)⁻¹ is 1/2⁴ option (B) one over two raised to the fourth power is correct.

<h3>What is an integer exponent?</h3>

In mathematics, integer exponents are exponents that should be integers. It may be a positive or negative number. In this situation, the positive integer exponents determine the number of times the base number should be multiplied by itself.

It is given that:

The number expression is:

= (2⁴)⁻¹

Using the properties of the integer exponent:

= 1/2⁴

The above number is one over two raised to the fourth power

Thus, the simplification form of the number expression (2⁴)⁻¹ is 1/2⁴ option (B) one over two raised to the fourth power is correct.
