Answer:

C. 77

Step-by-step explanation:

Let l be length and w be the width of the rectangle,

Thus, the perimeter of the rectangle = 2 ( length + width )

= 2 ( l + w )

According to the question,

l - w = 4 ⇒ l = 4 + w

Also, 2(l+w)=36

2(4 + w +w)=36

4 + 2 w = 18

2w = 14

⇒ w = 7

So, the width of the rectangle is 7 inches.

And, length = 4 + 7 = 11 inches

Thus, the area of the rectangle = length × width

= 11 × 7

= 77 in²

Option 'C' is correct.

Width= 7
Length= 11
Area: 11•7=77 (C)

In one turn of the wheel, you will move the circumference of the wheel. To find the circumference, you just do π × diameter, so π × 34 = 106.8 inches. In 5 turns, you will just go 5 times the circumference, so you multiply by 5 to get 534.1 inches. I hope this helps!

3+-√(-3)^2 - 4(5)(-1)

Alona [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Easy way to do this is step by step. Your quadratic, from your entry, must be

$5x^2-3x-1$ .

Step by step looks like this, one thing at a time:

$x=\frac{3+\sqrt{(-3)^2-4(5)(-1)} }{2(5)}$ becomes

$x=\frac{3+\sqrt{9-(-20)} }{10}$ becomes

$x=\frac{3+\sqrt{9+20} }{10}$

and this of course is

$x=\frac{3+\sqrt{29} }{10}$

Do the same with the subtraction sign to get the other solution.

If you're unsure of how to enter it into your calculator, do it step by step so you don't mess up the sign. If you enter it incorrectly, you could end up with an imaginary number when it should be real, or a real one that should be imaginary.

Just my advice as a high school math teacher.
