Hi there!

We can find the perimeter of a rectangle by using the following formula:

perimeter = 2 × width + 2 × length

In the question, we are given the following data: the length of the rectangle is 12 in and the perimeter is 56. Let's substitute this into our formula!

56 = 2 × width + 2 × 12
Multiply first.

56 = 2 × width + 24
Now subtract 24 from both sides.

32 = 2 × width
And finally, to find the width of the rectangle, divide both sides of the equation by 2.

16 = width
(we can eventually switch sides in the equation).

width = 16

Homer wants to identify the center and radius of the circle defined by the equation x2 + y2 - 14x +
Klio2033 [76]

Homer has made mistake in step 2

When you complete the square, you need to add the values to both sides of equation

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

<em><u>Given equation of circle:</u></em>

x^2 + y^2 -14x + 2y -25 = 0

Let us first calculate center and radius and find out where he did the mistake

<em><u>Step 1:</u></em>

Group the terms

x^2 -14x + y^2 + 2y = 25\\\\(x^2 -14x) + (y^2 + 2y) = 25

<em><u>Step 2:</u></em>

(x^2 -14x + 49) + (y^2 + 2y + 1) = 25 + 49 + 1

But homers step 2 is:

(x^2 -14x + 49) + (y^2 + 2y + 1) = 25

So homer has made mistake in this step

When you complete the square, you need to add the values to both sides of equation

But homer did not add 49 and 1 to right side of equation

Correct steps are:

(x^2 -14x + 49) + (y^2 + 2y + 1) = 75\\\\(x-7)^2 + (y+1)^2 = 75

Comparing general equation of circle,

(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2

Therefore, center is ( 7, -1) and radius is 8.66

Do the ratios 16/8 and 6/3 form a proportion?<br><br> Yes or no?
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

Yes. Reduce 16/8 by dividing by 8. 16/8= 2, 8/8= 1. 16/8= 2. Reduce 6/3 by dividing by 3. 6/3= 2 , 3/3= 1. 6/3= 2.

The sum of the two <em>rational</em> equations is equal to (3 · n² + 5 · n - 10) / (3 · n³ - 6 · n²).

<h3>How to simplify the addition between two rational equations</h3>

In this question we must use <em>algebra</em> definitions and theorems to simplify the addition of two <em>rational</em> equations into a <em>single rational</em> equation. Now we proceed to show the procedure of solution in detail:

  1. (n + 5) / (n² + 3 · n - 10) + 5 / (3 · n²)      Given
  2. (n + 5) / [(n + 5) · (n - 2)] + 5 / (3 · n²)     x² - (r₁ + r₂) · x + r₁ · r₂ = (x - r₁) · (x - r₂)
  3. 1 / (n - 2) + 5 / (3 · n²)     Associative and modulative property / Existence of the multiplicative inverse
  4. [3 · n² + 5 · (n - 2)] / [3 · n² · (n - 2)]       Addition of fractions with different denominator
  5. (3 · n² + 5 · n - 10) / (3 · n³ - 6 · n²)       Distributive property / Power properties / Result

Answer:

Median for sample 1 = 142

Median for sample 2 = 134

Step-by-step explanation:

For Sample 1:

For finding median, the data is first arranged into ascending or descending order. We are arranging the data in ascending order.

120, 130, 132, 136, 139, 142, 142, 144, 156, 165, 167

The formula for calculating the term which will be median is:

Median= ((n+1)/2)

Here in sample 1, n=11

So, putting n=11 in the formula

= ((11+1)/2)

= (12/2)

=6th term

The sixth term is 142, so

Median of sample 1=142

For Sample 2:

For finding median, the data is first arranged into ascending or descending order. We are arranging the data in ascending order.

112, 112, 113, 114, 125, 134, 141, 145, 146, 163, 165

The formula for calculating the term which will be median is:

Median= ((n+1)/2)

Here in sample 2, n=11

So, putting n=11 in the formula

=((11+1)/2)

=(12/2)

=6th term

The sixth term is 134, so

Median of sample 2=134
