Side of the original square is 5 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Let the side of the original square be x. Then side of the new square = x + 3 and Area of new square = 64 cm²

Area of a square = (side)²

⇒ 64 = (x + 3)²

⇒ 64 = x² + 6x + 9

⇒ x² + 6x - 55 = 0

⇒ x² + 11x - 5x - 55 = 0        (Since 6x = 11x - 5x as part of factorizing)

⇒ x(x + 11) - 5(x + 11) = 0

⇒ (x + 11)(x - 5) = 0

⇒ x = -11 and x = 5 (Lengths can't be negative)

Side of the original square is 5 cm.

If my heart beats 2790 times every three quarters of an hour, what is your heart rate per minute?
kodGreya [7K]

Your heart rate is the number of times each minute that your heart beats, which is normally between 60 and 100 times per minute for adults. Your pulse is a way you can feel each time your heart beats. Measuring your heart rate helps you monitor your own health and know if you’re exercising at the right level to get the most benefits to your health.

Your pulse is your heart rate, or the number of times your heart beats in one minute. Pulse rates vary from person to person. Your pulse is lower when you are at rest and increases when you exercise (more oxygen-rich blood is needed by the body when you exercise). Knowing how to take your pulse can help you evaluate your exercise program.

attashe74 [19]

Answer: Paul will be 30 years old

Step-by-step explanation:Let the age of her sister be x, then from the given data

=> 4x = 20

=> x = 5 years

The age of her sister is 5 years

In the second case, paul is twice as old as his sister

=> Age of paul = 2(x)

=> Age of paul = 10 years

Paul will be 10 years old when he is twice as old as his sister

If f(x) = x2, and<br> g(x) = x – 1, then<br> f(g(x)) = [? ]x2+[?]+ [?]
Basile [38]

Answer:

f(g(x)) = x² - 2x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find f(g(x)), substitute x = g(x) into f(x) , that is

f(g(x))

= f(x - 1)

= (x - 1)² ← expand using FOIL

= x² - 2x + 1
