Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let width = w in

Length = w + 5 in

Area of rectangle = 150 square inches

length * width = 150

(w +5) * w  = 150

w*w + w*5 = 150

w² + 5w -150 = 0

Sum = 5

Product = -150

Factors = 15 , -10

w² + 5w - 150 = 0

w² + 15w - 10w - 10*15 = 0

w(w + 15) - 10(w - 15) =0

(w + 15)(w -10)= 0

Ignore w +15 because measurement won't come in negative

Therefore, w - 10 = 0

                    w = 10 inches

length = w + 5 = 10 +5 = 15 inches

Length = 15 inches

Width = 10 inches

Answer:

Width: 10 inches

Length: 15 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width be w.

Since the length is 5 inches longer than its width, the length = w +5.

Area of rectangle = length x width

w (w +5) = 150

w^2 + 5w = 150

w^2 + 5w -150 = 0

Using quadratic formula,

w = 10 or -15

Since the width cannot be negative,

the width is 10 inches.

Now just substitute w=10 into length = w +5.

length = 10 + 5

= 15 inches

Answer:1. -6 ≤ x < -1 . . . . conjunction

2. x ≤ 6 . . or . . 10 ≤ x . . . . disjunction

3. 7 ≤ x < 12 . . . . conjunction

4. x < -9 . . or . . -3 ≤ x . . . . disjunction

5. 2 ≤ x ≤ 5 . . . . conjunction

6. x ≤ 54 . . or . . 66 ≤ x . . . . disjunction

7. 39 < x ≤ 43 . . . . conjunction

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm assuming its "Pattern". This is because its in a pattern of "Conjunction, Disjunction, Conjunction, Disjunction, etc." and theres 7 letters in the word Pattern.

Usually a problem with this wording will have a list of numbers with letter designators. You find the number that is in the solution set and the corresponding letter is part of the "secret word

a construction crew built 4 1/2 miles of Road and 3 3/8 days. What is the unit rate in miles per day? Write your answer as a fra
sineoko [7]

The construction crew took 3\frac{3}{8} days to build 4\frac{1}{2} miles of road.

Therefore, in 1 day, the crew built \frac{4\frac{1}{2} }{3\frac{3}{8} } miles of road

= \frac{\frac{9}{2} }{\frac{27}{8} } =\frac{9}{2}times\frac{8}{27}=\frac{4}{3} miles of road

Thus, the required rate is \frac{4}{3} miles or 1\frac{1}{3} miles per day.

Divide the following polynomials using the long division model (4x ^ 4 - 5x ^ 3 + 2x ^ 2 - x + 5) + (x ^ 2 + x + 1)
densk [106]

Answer:

The ramainder is equal -86

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the polynomial degree Q(x) is 1, the remainder of the division must be a number. Therefore we only need to calculate the value of polynomial for x = -2

What is the slope of the line perpendicular to the line with equation 4x-5y+13=0
motikmotik

Answer:

m = - 5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

If two lines are perpendicular, their slopes are negative reciprocals, which means that their product is -1

We can write the equation

4*x - 5*y + 13  = 0

as:      5*y  =  4*x  + 13      or    

y  = (4/5)*x  + 13        (1)

Equation (1) is the equation of a straight line in its slope point form, 4/5 is the slope, according to this  the slope of a perpendicular line is

-5/4
