Gavin needs $80 to buy a fish tank. He has saved $8 and plans to work as a babysitter to earn $9 per hour. Which inequality shows the minimum number of hours, n, that Gavin should work as a babysitter to earn enough to buy the fish tank? 8 + 9n ≥ 80, so n ≥ 8 8 + 9n ≤ 80, so n ≤ 8 9n ≥ 80 + 8, so n ≥ 9.8 9n ≤ 80 + 8, so n ≤ 9.8
Answer:
Answer:
The width is 4 units, and the length is 10 units.
Step-by-step.
Step-by-step explanation:
area of rectangle = length * width
Let L = length; let W = width.
"The length is 6 units greater than the width.": L = W + 6
area = LW = 40
Since L = W + 6, we substitute L with W + 6.
(W + 6)W = 40
W^2 + 6W = 40
W^2 + 6W - 40 = 0
(W - 4)(W + 10) = 0
W - 4 = 0 or W + 10 = 0
W = 4 or W = -10
A width cannot be a negative number, so we discard the solution W = -10.
W = 4
L = W + 6 = 4 + 6 = 10
The width is 4 units, and the length is 10 units.
You would need the 3rd side length of the triangle, in order to find the area.
Answer:
0.049168726 light-years
Step-by-step explanation:
The apparent brightness of a star is
where
<em>L = luminosity of the star (related to the Sun)
</em>
<em>d = distance in ly (light-years)
</em>
The luminosity of Alpha Centauri A is 1.519 and its distance is 4.37 ly.
Hence the apparent brightness of Alpha Centauri A is
According to the inverse square law for light intensity
where
light intensity at distance 
light intensity at distance 
Let be the distance we would have to place the 50-watt bulb, then replacing in the formula
Remark: It is worth noticing that Alpha Centauri A, though is the nearest star to the Sun, is not visible to the naked eye.
