Answer:

9 and 14

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the perimeter is equal to:

P = 2l + 2w = 46

If we divide by 2, we are left with:

l + w = 23

I = 23 - w

Now the area is equal to:

A = l * w = 126

l * w = 126

Now replacing it, we are left with:

(23 - w) * (w) = 126

(-w ^ 2) + 23 * w = 126

Rearranging:

w ^ 2 + -23 * w + 126 = 0

We factor and we have:

(w - 9) * (w - 14) = 0

w - 9 = 0 => w = 9

w - 14 = 0 => 2 = 14

If w = 9, l = 23 - 9 = 14

If w = 14, l = 23-14 = 9

So the dimensions are 9 and 14.

erastovalidia [21]

Complete question :

Between 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM, cars arrive at Citibank’s drive-thru at the rate of 6 cars per hour (0.1 car per minute). The following formula from statistics can be used to determine the probability that a car will arrive within t minutes of 12:00 PM. F(t)=1−e^−0.1t

Determine how many minutes are needed for the probability to reach 80%.

Answer:

16.09 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function :

F(t)=1−e^−0.1t

To attain 80% probability ; 80% = 0.8

0.8 = 1 - e^-0.1t

0.8 - 1 = - e^-0.1t

-0.2 = - e^-0.1t

Take the In of both sides

In(0.2) = In( e^-0.1t)

−1.609437 = - 0.1t

Divide both sides by - 0.1

−1.609437 / -0.1 = - 0.1t / 0.1

16.09 = t

Hence, the time it'll take will be 16.09 minutes

Factorise the following.​
Alika [10]

Answer:

x⁴ - y⁴= (x²)²- (y²)² = (x² + y²)(x²- y²) = (x²+y²)(x)²-(y)²=(x²+y²)(x+y)(x-y)

49x²-16/25= (7x)²- (4/5)²=(7x+4/5)(7x-4/5)

A parabola is given by the equation y = x^2 + 4x + 4.
insens350 [35]
Y = x² + 4x + 4.. Since the coefficient of x² =1, is positive, then this parabola opens upward & has a minimum.


Its axis of symmetry is = -b/a = -4/1 = 4 (so x=4)

1) When x=4, y= 4²+4(4)+4 => y=36 so the VERTEX has a minimum is at (4,36) 

2)FOCUS.: To be able to calculate the focus, rewrite the equation in a standard form: y-k =a(x-h)² & y = x² + 4x + 4 could be written y=(x+2)², this means that k=0 & h=-2.
Now p being the distance between the VERTEX & the FOCUS, we apply the formula (x-2)² = 4P (y-k) , but k=0 & h=2 then (x-2)² = 4P(y-0) then P =1/4

3) DRECTRICE : y=k-P = 0-1/4 ==> y=-1/4 is the directrix

A conference center has 12 rooms that each have a floor area of 875 square feet and 6 rooms that each have a floor area of 950 s
Katyanochek1 [597]
875 x 12 = 10500ft squared
950 x 6 = 5700ft squared
10500 + 5700 = 16200

the total floor area is 16200 squared feet
