Answer:

AB = 4.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = sum of areas of two rectangles

36 = [x(x - 4)] + [(x - 2)(2x + x)]

36 = x² - 4x + 3x² - 6x

4x² - 10x - 36 = 0

Dividing by 2:

2x² - 5x - 18 = 0

2x² - 9x + 4x - 18 = 0

x(2x - 9) + 2(2x - 9) = 0

(2x - 9)(x + 2) = 0

x = -2, 9/2

AB = x = 4½ cm

Answer:

AB = 9/2 cm

AB = 4.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of small rectangle

x * (x-4) = x^2 -4x

The area of  the big rectangle

The height is 2x +x  and the width is x-2

(2x+x) * (x-2)

(3x) * (x-2)

3x^2 -6x

Add the areas together

x^2 -4x + 3x^2 -6x

4x^2 -10x

This is equal to 36

4x^2 -10x=36

Subtract 36 from each side

4x^2 -10x -36=36-36

4x^2 -10x-36=0

Divide each side by 2

2x^2 -5x -18=0

Factor

(x + 2) (2 x - 9) = 0

Using the zero product property

x+2=0  2x-9=0

x = -2   2x =9

x = -2   x = 9/2

Since we cant have a negative length

x = 9/2

AB = 9/2 cm

What is true of the graph of two lines 3y-8=-5x and 6y=-10x+16
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Both lines are equal (they are the same)

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3y - 8 = -5x

6y = -10x + 16

Required

What is true about graph of both lines

<em>Questions like this are better solved when there's option(s) to select from. However, some of the properties of line equation that I'll consider are to check  if both lines are either parallel or perpendicular</em>

<em />

To do this,

The first thing to do is to calculate the slope of both lines

3y - 8 = -5x

Add 8 to both sides

3y - 8 + 8 = -5x + 8

3y = -5x + 8

Divide both sided by 3

\frac{3y}{3} = -\frac{5x}{3} + \frac{8}{3}

y = -\frac{5x}{3} + \frac{8}{3}

The slope of the line is the coefficient of x;

Slope = -\frac{5}{3}

Solve for the y intercept; <em>Let x = 0</em>

y = -\frac{5 * 0}{3} + \frac{8}{3}

y = 0 + \frac{8}{3}

y = \frac{8}{3}

Solve for the x intercept; <em>Let y = 0</em>

0 = -\frac{5x}{3} + \frac{8}{3}

Subtract \frac{8}{3} from both sides

0 - \frac{8}{3} = -\frac{5x}{3} + \frac{8}{3} - \frac{8}{3}

- \frac{8}{3} = -\frac{5x}{3}

Subtract both sides by -\frac{3}{5}

-\frac{3}{5}*- \frac{8}{3} = -\frac{5x}{3} * -\frac{3}{5}

-\frac{3}{5}*- \frac{8}{3} = x

\frac{3}{5} * \frac{8}{3} = x

\frac{8}{5} = x

x = \frac{8}{5}

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6y = -10x + 16

Divide both sides by 6

\frac{6y}{6} = -\frac{10x}{6} + \frac{16}{6}

y = -\frac{10x}{6} + \frac{16}{6}

Simplify fractions to lowest term

y = -\frac{5x}{3} + \frac{8}{3}

The slope of the line is the coefficient of x;

Slope = -\frac{5}{3}

Solve for the y intercept; <em>Let x = 0</em>

y = -\frac{5 * 0}{3} + \frac{8}{3}

y = 0 + \frac{8}{3}

y = \frac{8}{3}

Solve for the x intercept; <em>Let y = 0</em>

0 = -\frac{5x}{3} + \frac{8}{3}

Subtract \frac{8}{3} from both sides

0 - \frac{8}{3} = -\frac{5x}{3} + \frac{8}{3} - \frac{8}{3}

- \frac{8}{3} = -\frac{5x}{3}

Subtract both sides by -\frac{3}{5}

-\frac{3}{5}*- \frac{8}{3} = -\frac{5x}{3} * -\frac{3}{5}

-\frac{3}{5}*- \frac{8}{3} = x

\frac{3}{5} * \frac{8}{3} = x

\frac{8}{5} = x

x = \frac{8}{5}

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

By comparing the slope, x intercept and y intercept of both lines;

It'll be observed that they have the same slope, x intercept and y intercept

<em>This implies that both lines are equal; in other words, they are the same.</em>

Customers enter the waiting line to pay for food as they leave a cafeteria on a first-come, first-served basis. The arrival rate
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

The answer is B) 0.57.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem we have to apply queueing theory.

It is a single server queueing problem.

The arrival rate is  \lambda=4 and the service rate is \mu=7.

The proportion of time that the server is busy is now as the "server utilization"and can be calculated as:

p=\frac{\lambda}{c\mu} =\frac{4}{1*7}=0.57

where c is the number of server (in this case, one server).
