Answer:

1430 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that $1\text{ acre}=\dfrac{1}{640}\text{ square mile}.$ Then

$25\text{ acres}=\dfrac{25}{640}\text{ square mile}.$

If one side of the restangular field measures exactly $\dfrac{1}{4}$ mile, then let the second side be x miles and

$\dfrac{25}{640}=\dfrac{1}{4}\cdot x,\\ \\x=\dfrac{\frac{25}{640}}{\frac{1}{4}}=\dfrac{25}{640}\cdot \dfrac{4}{1}=\dfrac{25}{160}=\dfrac{5}{32}\ mile.$

The perimeter of the rectangle will be

$P=2\cdot \dfrac{1}{4}+2\cdot \dfrac{5}{32}=\dfrac{2\cdot 8+10}{32}=\dfrac{26}{32}=\dfrac{13}{16}\ mile.$

Since $1\ mile=1760\ yards,$ then $\dfrac{13}{16}\ mile=\dfrac{13}{16}\cdot 1760=1430\ yards.$

Given:

A line through the points (7,1,-5) and (3,4,-2).

To find:

The parametric equations of the line.

Solution:

Direction vector for the points (7,1,-5) and (3,4,-2) is

$\vec {v}=\left$

$\vec {v}=\left$

$\vec {v}=\left$

Now, the perimetric equations for initial point $(x_0,y_0,z_0)$ with direction vector $\vec{v}=\left$ , are

$x=x_0+at$

$y=y_0+bt$

$z=z_0+ct$

The initial point is (7,1,-5) and direction vector is $\vec {v}=\left$ . So the perimetric equations are

$x=(7)+(-4)t$

$x=7-4t$

Similarly,

$y=1+3t$

$z=-5+3t$

Therefore, the required perimetric equations are $x=7-4t, y=1+3t$ and $z=-5+3t$ .

In your own words, explain how to find the incenter and the circumcenter of a triangle and what the Circumcenter Theorem and Inc

LekaFEV [45]

Circumcenter is where three perpendicular bisectors intersect and incenter is where the three angle bisectors intersect.

Way to find them and the theorems are mentioned below.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find Incenter :

Construct angle bisectors of each angle of the triangle and their intersection point gives the incenter.

To find Circumcenter:

Construct perpendicular bisectors of all sides of triangle and their intersection point gives the circumcenter.

Circumcenter Theorem: It states that the vertices of a triangle are equidistant from the circumcenter.

Incenter Theorem: It states that the incenter is equidistant from the sides of the triangle.

F(x+h) = (x+h)² + 3(x+h)^3<br><br> How would I distribute this?

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

f(x + h) = 3x³ + x² + 9h²x + 3h³ + h² + 9hx² + 2hx

General Formulas and Concepts:

Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
Distributive Property
Expand by FOIL (First Outside Inside Last)
Combining like terms

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define function</u>

f(x) = x² + 3x³

f(x + h) is x = x + h

<u>Step 2: Simplify</u>

Substitute: f(x + h) = (x + h)² + 3(x + h)³
Expand by FOILing: f(x + h) = (x² + 2hx + h²) + 3(x + h)³
Rewrite: f(x + h) = (x² + 2hx + h²) + 3(x + h)²(x + h)
Expand by FOILing: f(x + h) = (x²+2hx+h²) + 3(x² + 2hx + h²)(x+h)
Distribute/Expand: f(x + h) = (x²+2hx+h²) + 3(x³+3hx²+3h²x+h³)
Distribute 3: f(x + h) = (x²+2hx+h²)+(3x³+9hx²+9h²x+3h³)
Combine like terms: f(x + h) = 3x³+x²+9h²x+3h³+h²+9hx²+2hx
