Answer:

11 m and 7 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Width = x

Length = x+4

P=2L+2W

P=2(x+4) + 2x=4x +8

36 = 4x + 8

4x = 28

x=7 Width

x+4=7+4=11 Length

The sale price of every item in a store is 85% of its usual price.

Vladimir [108]

Answer

a. The backpack is $4.50

b. The sweatshirt is $2.70

Step-by-step explanation:

a. 30 x 0.15 = 4.50 (The 0.15 is from the price you are actually paying for the item. Because the item is 85% off, you are paying for 15% of the usual price. 15% as a decimal is 0.15 so you multiply that to the original price to find the amount u will pay.)

b. 18 x 0.15 = 2.70

Y = -3x-2 Slope intercept form

lana66690 [7]

Answer:The equation of any straight line, called a linear equation, can be written as: y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept of this line is the value of y at the point where the line crosses the y axis.

The computers of nine engineers at a certain company are to be replaced. Four of the engineers have selected laptops and the oth

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

(a) There are 70 different ways set up 4 computers out of 8.

(b) The probability that exactly three of the selected computers are desktops is 0.305.

(c) The probability that at least three of the selected computers are desktops is 0.401.

Step-by-step explanation:

Of the 9 new computers 4 are laptops and 5 are desktop.

Let X = a laptop is selected and Y = a desktop is selected.

The probability of selecting a laptop is = $P(Laptop) = p_{X} = \frac{4}{9}$

The probability of selecting a desktop is = $P(Desktop) = p_{Y} = \frac{5}{9}$

Then both X and Y follows Binomial distribution.

$X\sim Bin(9, \frac{4}{9})\\ Y\sim Bin(9, \frac{5}{9})$

The probability function of a binomial distribution is:

$P(U=k)={n\choose k}\times(p)^{k}\times (1-p)^{n-k}$

(a)

Combination is used to determine the number of ways to select <em>k</em> objects from <em>n</em> distinct objects without replacement.

It is denotes as: ${n\choose k}=\frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}$

In this case 4 computers are to selected of 8 to be set up. Since there cannot be replacement, i.e. we cannot set up one computer twice or thrice, use combinations to determine the number of ways to set up 4 computers of 8.

The number of ways to set up 4 computers of 8 is:

${8\choose 4}=\frac{8!}{4!(8-4)!}\\=\frac{8!}{4!\times 4!} \\=70$

Thus, there are 70 different ways set up 4 computers out of 8.

(b)

It is provided that 4 computers are randomly selected.

Compute the probability that exactly 3 of the 4 computers selected are desktops as follows:

$P(Y=3)={4\choose 3}\times(\frac{5}{9})^{3}\times (1-\frac{5}{9})^{4-3}\\=4\times\frac{125}{729}\times\frac{4}{9}\\ =0.304832\\\approx0.305$

Thus, the probability that exactly three of the selected computers are desktops is 0.305.

(c)

Compute the probability that of the 4 computers selected at least 3 are desktops as follows:

$P(Y\geq 3)=1-P(Y$

Thus, the probability that at least three of the selected computers are desktops is 0.401.

If f(x) = 4(3x - 5), find f-1(x)

deff fn [24]

Answer:

$f^{-1}(x) = \frac{1}{12}(x+20)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: f(x) = 4(3x - 5)

Is required to find f⁻¹(x)

f(x) = y = 4(3x - 5)

∴ y = 4 * 3x - 4 * 5

∴ y = 12x - 20 ⇒ add 20 to both sides

∴ y + 20 = 12x ⇒ divide both sides by 12

∴ $\frac{1}{12} (y+20) = x$

Replace the places of x and y.

∴ $y=\frac{1}{12} (x+20)$

∴ $f^{-1}(x) = \frac{1}{12}(x+20)$
