Answer:

Width 130 ft and

Length 320 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

  • Length of the rectangular base is 70 ft less than three times the width;
  • Perimeter of the rectangular base is 900 ft

We are required  to determine the dimensions of the rectangular base;

Assuming the width of the rectangular base is x ft

Then length will be (3x - 70) ft

But;

Perimeter = 2L + 2W

Thus;

900 ft = 2(3x-70) + 2(x)

900 ft = 6x -140 +2x

1040 = 8x

 x = 130

Thus;

Width = 130 ft

Length = 3x -70 = 320 ft

Hence the dimensions of the rectangular base are width 130 ft and length 320 ft

Suppose that the cost of drilling x feet for an oil well is C=f(x) dollars. a) What are the units of f'(x)? b) In practical term
antiseptic1488 [7]
A. The term "units" refers to the measurements in the original question or problem. When looking at the question, the units we are measuring are dollars/feet. 
B. In this case, the f'(x) means we are looking for the cost (in dollars) to drill the next foot down. 
C. Since the cost increases the more feet we drill down, the sign of f'(x) is positive.

Find x. Give reasons to justify your solution. b Lines AB and CD are straight lines.
MArishka [77]

Answer:

x = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that lines AB and CD are straight lines that intersects at O, it follows that the pair of opposite vertical angles formed are congruent.

Thus,

<AOD = <BOC

<AOD = 152°

<BOC = 3x + x + (x + 12) (angle addition postulate)

<BOC = 5x + 12

Since <AOD = <BOC, therefore,

152° = 5x + 12 (substitution)

152 - 12 = 5x (subtraction property of equality)

140 = 5x

140/5 = x (division property of equality)

28 = x

x = 28

Write an equation of the line that passes through (−5, −2)(−5, −2) and is parallel to y=23x+1y=23x+1.
Klio2033 [76]
Assuming you meant 2/3
y=2/3x+1 and (-5,-2)

paralell means same slope
y=mx+b
m=slope

y=2/3x+1
sllope=2/3

point slope
y-y1=m(x-x1)
for slope=m
a point is (x1,y1)

slope=2/3
point=(-5,-2)

y-(-2)=2/3(x-(-5))
y+2=2/3(x+5)
or
y=2/3x+16/3
