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

boeing plans to increase its price for jetliners. with a selling price $201.5 million and a cost of $190.1 million, what was the
scoray [572]

so from 190.1 to 201.5 is 201.5 - 190.1 = 11.4.

now, if we take 190.1 as the 100%, what is 11.4 off of it in percentage?

\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 190.1&100\\ 11.4&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{190.1}{11.4}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies 190.1x=1140 \\\\\\ x=\cfrac{1140}{190.1}\implies x\approx 5.99684

A=130(1.05)^x by what percent does the balence increase each year?
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

5%

Step-by-step explanation:

The question showing a growing function that commonly used in compound interest calculation. The formula for compound interest is:

A = P (1 +r) ^ t

A= amount of the balance after a period of t

P= principal, the initial money deposit

r= rate

t= time

The percent of balance increase should be represented by the rate(r). In this equation, the principal will be 130, (1+r) will be 1.05, and time will be x.

The value of rate (r) will be:

(1+r) = 1.05

r= 1.05-1= 0.05 = 5%
