Answer:

You can denote the width of the rectangle as x,

than the length of the rectangle will be 2x

and the perimeter of the rectangle will be two length plus two width and it should be equal to 54 in

and the equation will look 2(2x)+2x=54

solving the equation 6x=54, x=9in

So the width of the rectangle is 9in and the length is 9*2=18in

and the area of the rectangle is 9*18=162 sq in.

Well, that's incorrect because according to the Order of Operation [GEMS\BOMDAS\PEMDAS etc.], that -7 has to be distributed amongst all the other terms in parentheses. Besides, you did the wrong operation when you inserted that subtraction symbol in substitution of the parentheses, which means to MULTIPLY. So, the order goes as follows:

12 - 7[72]

-504 + 12 = -492 [OR 12 - 504]

-492 is your answer. You get it now?

Does this graph show a function? explain how you know

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertical line test is basically just drawing a vertical line and seeing if the line intersects the graph more than once. If it does, then it is not a function, if it doesn't than it is a function.

A fisherman uses a spring scale to weigh a tilapia fish. He records the fish weight as a kilograms and notices that the spring s

belka [17]

Answer:

k = $\frac{980a}{b}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Fisherman noticed a stretch in the spring = 'b' centimetres

Weight of the fish = a kilograms

If force applied on a spring scale makes a stretch in the spring then Hook's law for the force applied is,

F = kΔx

Where k = spring constant

Δx = stretch in the spring

F = weight applied

F = mg

Here 'm' = mass of the fish

g = gravitational constant

F = a(9.8)

= 9.8a

Δx = b centimetres = 0.01b meters

Therefore, 9.8a = k(0.01b)

k = $\frac{9.8a}{0.01b}$

k = $\frac{980a}{b}$

Therefore, spring constant of the spring will be determined by the expression, k = $\frac{980a}{b}$
