What is the explicit formula for this sequence? -5, -3, -1, 1, 3, ...

To the nearest tenth, find the perimeter of ABC with vertices A (-2,-2) B (0,5) and C (3,1)

Pavlova-9 [17]

the perimeter will then just be the sum of the distances of A, B and C, namely AB + BC + CA.

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points}\\\\A(\stackrel{x_1}{-2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-2})\qquadB(\stackrel{x_2}{0}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{5})\qquad \qquadd = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2}\\\\\\AB=\sqrt{[0-(-2)]^2+[5-(-2)]^2}\implies AB=\sqrt{(0+2)^2+(5+2)^2}\\\\\\AB=\sqrt{4+49}\implies \boxed{AB=\sqrt{53}}\\\\[-0.35em]\rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\B(\stackrel{x_2}{0}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{5})\qquad C(\stackrel{x_1}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{1})\\\\\\BC=\sqrt{(3-0)^2+(1-5)^2}\implies BC=\sqrt{3^2+(-4)^2}$

$\bf BC=\sqrt{9+16}\implies \boxed{BC=5}\\\\[-0.35em]\rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\C(\stackrel{x_2}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{1})\qquad A(\stackrel{x_1}{-2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-2})\\\\\\CA=\sqrt{(-2-3)^2+(-2-1)^2}\implies CA=\sqrt{(-5)^2+(-3)^2}\\\\\\CA=\sqrt{25+9}\implies \boxed{CA=\sqrt{34}}\\\\[-0.35em]\rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\~\hfill \stackrel{AB+BC+CA}{\approx 18.11}~\hfill$

A pigpen is to be enclosed using 640 m of fencing along three of its sides, the fourth side being a barn. Determine the dimensio

Basile [38]

Answer:

$W_{max}=480m\\ L_{max}=160m$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know we only have 640 feet of fence available, we know that L + W + L = 640, $\implies$ 2L + W = 640. This allows us to represent the width, W, in terms of L: W = 640 – 2L

Remember, the area of a rectangle is equal to the product of its width and length, therefore,

$A_{\rm pigpen}=L(640-2L)\implies 640L-2L^2$

Notice that, quadratic has been vertically reflected, since the coefficient on the squared term is negative, so the graph will open downwards, and the vertex will be a maximum value for the area.

recall,

$x_{max}=-b/2a$
$f(x)_{max}=f(x_{max})$

Since our function is A(L)=640L-2L², we get

a=-2
b=640

plug in the value of a and b into the first formula:

$L_{max}=-(640)/2(-2)\implies 160$

$A(L)_{max}=640(160)-2(160)^2\implies 76800$

hence,the dimensions of the pen that will maximize the area are L=160m and W=76800/160=480m

and we're done!

Find the distance between the points given. (-3, 2) and (9, -3)

klemol [59]

Answer:

Distance = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the distance formula, plug in the two points:

d = sqrt(9-(-3))^2+(-3-2)^2

d = sqrt(12)^2+(-5)^2

d = sqrt144+25

d = sqrt169

d = 13

"the quotient of a number and 4"

ladessa [460]

Answer:

a number divided by 4

Step-by-step explanation:

a number = n (it's a variable used in equations.)

so n over 4, or n divided by 4
