Answer:

The percentage increase in Area of rectangle is 200%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The  ratio of the width to the length of a rectangle is 2:3

Let The length of rectangle = 2 x

Let The width of rectangle = 3 x

∵ Area of rectangle = length × width

So, A_1 = 2 x × 3 x

Or,  A_1  =  6 x²

<u>Again</u>

The increased length of rectangle = 2 x + 2 x = 4 x

The increase width of rectangle = 3 x + 50% of 3 x

I.e The increase width of rectangle = 3 x + 1.5 x = 4.5 x

∵ Increased Area of rectangle = increased length × increased width

Or,   A_2  = 4 x × 4.5 x  = 18 x²

So, The percentage increase in area = \dfrac{A_2 - A_1}{A_1} × 100

Or, The percentage increase in area = \frac{18 x^{2}-6x^{2}}{6x^{2}} × 100

Or , The percentage increase in area = \dfrac{12}{6} × 100

∴ The percentage increase in area  = 200

Hence, The percentage increase in Area of rectangle is 200% Answer

So, We Have A Rate That We Need To Simplify. We Have:
88 students for every 4 classes
So, We Need To Simplify This Rate. In Order To Do This, We Need To Change Is To A Fraction. It Is:
88 students
---------------
  4 classes

Now, We Have To Simplify. We Can Do That By Remembering How To Simplify Fractions.

So,
88 ÷ 2 =  44   ÷ 2  =   22 students
---            ---               ---------------
 4  ÷ 2 =   2    ÷ 2  =           1

So, The Unit Rate For 88 Students For 4 Classes Is:

Create a 5th degree trinomial that has a constant term of 3.
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

4x^5\:+\:9x^2\:+\:3 is a trinomial having three terms, with degree 5 and the constant term '3'.

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the trinomial

4x^5\:+\:9x^2\:+\:3

As the polynomial contains 3 terms, so it is a trinomial.

As the highest power of the variable 'x' is 5, so the degree of this polynomial is 5.

Any term with no variable is called a constant term. so, 3 is a term with no variable. Therefore, the constant term is 3.

Therefore, 4x^5\:+\:9x^2\:+\:3 is a trinomial having three terms, with degree 5 and the constant term '3'.

What are all of the x-intercepts of the continuous function in the table? (0, 8) (–4, 0) (–4, 0), (4, 0) (–4, 0), (0, 8), (4, 0)
dusya [7]

The answer would be (–4, 0) (–4, 0), (4, 0) (–4, 0) and (4, 0)


You would be looking for anything that is on the X access on the coordinate plan, so it would somewhat have to be a straight line, the way you can find that is (x, y)  so whatever is in X will be your answer!
