Brice wants to build a table and put a border around it. The table and border must have an area of 3,006 square inches. The tabl

e is 36 inches wide and 72 inches long without the border. Which quadratic equation can be used to determine the thickness of the border, x?
A. 4x2 + 216x + 2,592 = 0

B. 4x2 + 216x − 414 = 0

C. 2x2 + 216x − 3,004 = 0

D. x2 + 108x + 2,592 = 0

B is the correct answer.

We are adding the border of x thickness to all 4 sides of the table.  This makes the new width of the table 36+x+x = 36+2x and the new length of the table 72+x+x=72+2x.  To find the area, we multiply the length and width:

(36+2x)(72+2x) = 3006

Multiplying the binomials, we get:
36*72 + 36*2x + 2x*72 + 2x*2x = 3006
2592 + 72x + 144x + 4x² = 3006

Combining like terms gets us
2592 + 216x + 4x² = 3006

Subtract 3006 from both sides:
2592 + 216x + 4x² - 3006 = 3006 - 3006
-414 + 216x + 4x² = 0

Writing in standard form we have
4x²+216x-414=0

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

  209 : 40  or  5.225 : 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Your calculator can tell you the ratio 8.36/1.60 is 5.225. Writing that decimal as a fraction, you can factor out 25 to get ...

  8.36 : 1.6 = 5.225 : 1 = 5225 : 1000 = (25)(209) : (25)(40) = 209 : 40

levacccp [35]

Answer:

1877 computer users

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that for 95% of confident, the value of z has a value of 1.96 (attached table about it), they also mention the margin of error (E) that is 10 and finally the standard deviation (sd) that has a value of 221.

We apply the following formula:

n = [z * sd / E] ^ 2

replacing:

n = [1.96 * 221/10] ^ 2

n = 1876.27

that is, the minimum sample size is 1877

Answer:

80, 40, 40

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule is if the number before the tens place is 5 or more round up and if it is 4 or less round down.

I like to look at it without the rule and what makes sense.

82.14:  my choices are 80 or 90.  What number is 82.14 closer to on the number line?  80.

38.5  The choices are 30 and 40.  This number on a number line would be closer to 40

41.3  The choices are 40 and 50.  On a number line this number would be closer to 40.
