The length of a rectangle is 5 ft less than three times the width, and the area of the rectangle is 50 ft². Find the dimensions

Mariulka [41]

Answer

Length = 10 ft

Width = 5 ft

Explanation

Area of the rectangle given = 50 ft²

Let the width of the rectangle be x

So this means the length of the rectangle will be 3x - 5

What to find:

The dimensions of the rectangle.

Step-by-step solution:

Area of a rectangle = length x width

i.e A = L x W

Put A = 50, L = 3x - 5, W = x into the formula.

$\begin{gathered} 50=(3x-5)x \\ 50=3x^2-5x \\ 3x^2-5x-50=0 \end{gathered}$

The quadratic equation can now be solve using factorization method:

$\begin{gathered} 3x^2-5x-50=0 \\ 3x^2-15x+10x-50=0 \\ 3x(x-5)+10(x-5)=0 \\ (3x+10)(x-5)=0 \\ 3x+10=0\text{ }or\text{ }x-5=0 \\ 3x=-10\text{ }or\text{ }x=5 \\ x=-\frac{10}{3}\text{ }or\text{ }x=5 \end{gathered}$

Since the dimension can not be negative, hence the value of x will be = 5.

Therefore, the dimensions of the rectangle will be:

$\begin{gathered} Length=3x-5=3(5)-5=15-5=10\text{ }ft \\ \\ Width=x=5\text{ }ft \end{gathered}$

Human visual inspection of solder joints on printed circuit boards can be very subjective. Part of the problem stems from the nu

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

The probability that the selected joint was judged to be defective by neither of the two inspectors is $P(A' n B' ) = 0.8855$

The probability that the selected joint was judged to be defective by inspector B but not by inspector A is $P(A' n B) =0.0403$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The sample size is $n_s = 10000$

The number of outcome for inspector A is $n__{A}} = 742$

The number of outcome for inspector B is $n__{B}} = 745$

The number of joints judged defective by both inspector is $n(A u B) = 1145$

The the probability that the selected joint was judged to be defective by neither of the two inspectors is mathematically represented as

$P(A' n B' ) = 1 - P(A u B)$

Now

$P(A\ u \ B) = \frac{n(Au B)}{n_s }$

substituting values

$P(A\ u \ B) = \frac{1145}{ 10 000 }$

$P(A' n B' ) = 1 - \frac{1145}{10 000}$

$P(A' n B' ) = 0.8855$

the probability that the selected joint was judged to be defective by inspector B but not by inspector A is mathematically represented as

$P(A' n B) = P(A \ u \ B) -P(A)$

Now

$P(A) = \frac{n__{A}}{n_s}$

substituting values

$P(A) = \frac{742}{10 000}$

$P(A' n B) = \frac{1145}{10 000} - \frac{742}{10 000}$

$P(A' n B) =0.0403$

Laura rents a movie for a flat fee of $2.00 plus an additional $0.50 for each night she keeps the movie. Choose the cost functio

daser333 [38]

Answer:

The cost function that represents this scenario is c(x) = 2 + 0.50x .

Option (b) is correct .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

Laura rents a movie for a flat fee of $2.00 plus an additional $0.50 for each night she keeps the movie.

if x equals the number of nights Laura has the movie.

Than the cost function that represents this scenario .

c(x) = Flat fee + Cost for x equals the number of nights Laura has the movie.

c(x) = 2 + x × 0.50

c(x) = 2 + 0.50x

Therefore the cost function that represents this scenario is c (x) = 2 + 0.50x .

Option (b) is correct .
