Mathematics

Answer:

Dimensions of the rug = 13 ft × 26 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimensions of the room = 21 ft × 34 ft

Area of the room = 21 × 34 = 714 ft²

Cynthia wants to leave a uniform strip of floor around the rug.

Let the width of the rug = x ft

Then the dimensions of the rug will be = (21- 2x)ft × (34 - 2x)ft

Area of the rug = (21 - 2x)×(34 - 2x) square feet

338 = (21 - 2x)×(34 - 2x)

338 = 714 - 68x - 42x + 4x²

4x² - 110x + 714 - 338 = 0

4x² - 110x + 376 = 0

2x² - 55x + 188 = 0

2x² - 47x - 8x + 188 = 0

x(2x - 47) - 8(x - 47) = 0  

(x - 4)(2x - 47) = 0

x = 4, \frac{47}{2}

For x = 23.5 area of the rug will be negative.

Therefore, x = 4 ft will be the width of the rug.

Dimensions of the rug will be 13 ft × 26 ft.

Which of the following values would complete the ordered pair if the point is on the graph of f (x) = -3x + 2 ?
Scrat [10]

Answer: the y-coordinate that completes the point is 5.


Explanation:


An ordered pair (x, y) indicates the x-and-y coordinates of a general point, where x is the input value of a function and y is the output value.


The output value is y = f(x) and must be found applying the rule (function) to the given input value.


In this case the rulte is f(x) = - 3x + 2, and the input value, x,  is - 1 (the first value of the ordered pair).


This is the mathematical procedure:

  • x = - 1
  • f(x) = f (-1) = -3 (-1) + 2 = 3 + 2 = 5.
