Answer:

17 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the area of a rectangle is the product of its length and width, then;

Area of a rectangle = Length × Width

Given that the width of the poster is greater than 10 inches and is prime, this means and W>10

Area of the rectangle = 204in²

On substituting the values in the formula;

A = LW

204 = LW

Since W is greater than 10 and is prime, it can be between the prime numbers 11, 13 and 17. Note that L must be a whole number as well for any number to be the right answer we seek.

Let's test each values of the prime width that will give a length that is a whole number.

If W = 11

204 = 11×L

L = 204/11

L = 18.54

Since the length didn't give us a whole number, this means our width is not 11.

If W = 13

204 = L × 13

L = 204/13

L = 15.69

Also, we can see that the length is not also a whole number for the value of 13 as the prime width.

If W = 17

204 = L × 17

L = 204/17

L = 12

It can be seen that the length of the rectangle gave us a whole number when we used the prime width of 17, hence the width of the poster that is greater than 10 inches and is prime that makes both length and width to be a whole number is 17 inches.

Jaina and Tomas compare their compound interest accounts to see how much they will have in the accounts after three years. They
stellarik [79]

Formula for compound interest is

Interest = Amount - Principal

Interest = P(1+r)^{t} - P

Where r = rate in percent

t = time in years

For Jaina,

P = $300

r= 7%

t = 3 yrs

So, Interest = 300(1+0.07)^{3} - 300

For Tomas

P = $400

r= 4%

t = 3 yrs

So, Interest = 400(1+0.04)^{3} - 400

So pair of equations for Jaina and Tomas are

Interest = 300(1+0.07)^{3} - 300

Interest = 400(1+0.04)^{3} - 400

If h(x)= 6x - 17, find h(8). *
Lena [83]

The value of h(8) in h(x)= 6x - 17 is 31

<h3></h3>

What are functions:

Functions relate input and output. Therefore, a function takes elements from a set (the domain) and relates them to elements in a set (range).

h(x)= 6x - 17

Let's find h(8)

h(8) = 6(8) - 17

h(8) = 48 - 17

h(8) = 31
