Kimmy has 47 ft.² of cement blocks each square block has size 1 foot long what is the greatest perimeter of a rectangle that she

can make with the cement blocks
Mathematics

blagie [28]3 years ago

Answer:

The larges perimeter she can make becomes is 96 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we note that the available brick is 47 ft²

Therefore, she has 47 square cement blocks

Let the length of the sides of the rectangle with the most perimeter be x and y

Then 2·x + 2·y = 47 which is not possible because 47 is a prime number

Hence we have the possible sides of the rectangle is a single line of square blocks such that

x × y  = 47 ft² where y = 1 hence x = 47

The larges perimeter she can make becomes, 2 × (1 + 47) = 96 ft.

How many sets of three consecutive integers are there in which the sum of the three integers equals their product?
skad [1K]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

since the 3 integers are consecutive, we are dealing with x, x+1, x+2.

and their sum is the same as their product :

x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = x(x + 1)(x + 2)

3x + 3 = x(x² + 3x + 2) = x³ + 3x² + 2x

x³ + 3x² - x - 3 = 0

this is a polynomial of third degree.

and as such it has 3 solutions.

of course, it could be that some of them are the same or are even in the realm of complex numbers (i = sqrt(-1)), but usually these 3 solutions are different real numbers.

I tried x=1 just to see, and, hey, it is a solution for this equation.

x = 1 means that the other 2 consecutive integers are 2 and 3.

and indeed, 1+2+3 = 1×2×3 = 6.

now it is easier to find the other 2 solutions, as a zero solution can be expressed as a factor of the whole expression.

for x = 1 the factor term is (x - 1), as this term is then turning 0, when x = 1.

I can divide the main expression by this factor and then analyze the quotient about the other 2 solutions.

x³ + 3x² - x - 3 : x - 1 = x² + 4x + 3

- x³ - x²

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

0 4x² - x

- 4x² - 4x

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

0 + 3x - 3

- 3x - 3

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

0 0

so, the original expression can be written as

(x² + 4x + 3)(x - 1).

now we need to find the 2 zero solutions for x²+4x+3

the general solution to a quadratic equation is

x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/(2a)

in our case

a = 1

b = 4

c = 3

so,

x = (-4 ± sqrt(4² - 4×1×3))/(2×1) =

= (-4 ± sqrt(16 - 12))/2 = (-4 ± sqrt(4))/2 =

= (-4 ± 2)/2 = -2 ± 1

x1 = -2 + 1 = -1

x2 = -2 - 1 = -3

so, we have the additional solutions :

-1 0 1

-3 -2 -1

-1 + 0 + 1 = -1×0×1 = 0

-3 + -2 + -1 = -3×-2×-1 = -6

and there we have it fully proven :

there are 3 different sets of 3 consecutive integers with the same sum as product.

A factory that manufactures screws is performing a quality control experiment. Each object should have a length of no more than
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

a) Null Hypothesis: length of each screw is less than 14 centimeters

b) Alternate Hypothesis: length of each screw is equal to or greater than 14 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete question

A factory that manufactures screws is performing a quality control experiment. Each object should have a length of no more than 14 centimeters. The factory believes that the length of the screws exceeds this value and measures the length of screws. The sample mean screw length was centimeters. The population standard deviation is known to be centimeters.

1. What is the null hypothesis?

2. What is the alternative hypothesis?

Solution :

The null hypothesis is basically the problem statement that needs to be tested.

Alternate hypothesis is opposite of that of null hypothesis

a) Null Hypothesis: length of each screw is less than 14 centimeters

b) Alternate Hypothesis: length of each screw is equal to or greater than 14 centimeters

The answer to this, i don’t understand it
Akimi4 [234]
Answer:
9.2

Step-by-step explanation:
Since it is a right triangle, you can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the third side which is the hypotenuse.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2
7^2 + 6^2 = c^2
49 + 36 = c^2
85 = c^2
9.219 = C
So, the answer rounded to the nearest tenth would be: 9.2
