Answer:

The length is 14 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

length = L

width = W

perimeter = P

"The perimeter of a rectangle is twice the sum of its length and its width."

P = 2(L + W)

"The perimeter is 40 meters"

40 = 2(L + W)

"and its length is 2 meters more than twice its width."

L = 2W + 2

Replace L with 2W + 2 in equation 40 = 2(L + W):

40 = 2(2W + 2 + W)

40 = 2(3W + 2)

20 = 3W + 2

3W = 18

W = 6

The width is 6 meters.

L = 2W + 2 = 2(6 m) + 2 m = 12 m + 2 m = 14 m

Answer: The length is 14 m.

Question:

Find the number of real number solutions for the equation. x^2 + 5x + 7 = 0

Answer:

The number of real solutions for the equation $x^{2}+5 x+7=0$ is zero

Solution:

For a Quadratic Equation of form : $a x^{2}+b x+c=0$ ---- eqn 1

The solution is $x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}$

Now , the given Quadratic Equation is $x^{2}+5 x+7=0$ ---- eqn 2

On comparing Equation (1) and Equation(2), we get

a = 1 , b = 5 and c = 7

In $x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}$ , $b^2 - 4ac$ is called the discriminant of the quadratic equation

Its value determines the nature of roots

Now, here are the rules with discriminants:

1) D > 0; there are 2 real solutions in the equation

2) D = 0; there is 1 real solution in the equation

3) D < 0; there are no real solutions in the equation

Now let solve for given equation

$D= b^2 - 4ac\\\\D = 5^2 - 4(1)(7)\\\\D = 25 - 28 \\\\D = -3$

Since -3 is less than 0, this means that there are 0 real solutions in this equation.

A hexagonal pyramid is cut by a plane as shown in the diagram. What is the shape of the resulting cross section? see diagram

Alenkasestr [34]

From the diagram you can see that plane cuts each lateral face of hexagonal pyramid and do not cut the base. A hexagonal pyramid has six lateral faces. The intersection of each of these lateral faces with given cutting plane is segment. The figure which consists of these segments is hexagon. This hexagon is not the same as base and even is not similar to the base because the cutting plane is not parallel to the base.

Answer: resulting cross section is a hexagon, correct choice is option 4.
