Answer:

4:9 ratio

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the sides cannot be the same because it is a rectangle, therefore there is a width and length.

For the width, which is the shortest side, we will keep the radius as it is, that is, for rectangle 1 it will be 2 and for rectangle 2 it will be 3.

For the length, which is the longest side, we multiply the radius by two, which means that rectangle 1 will be 4 (2 * 2) and for rectangle 2 it would be 6 (2 * 3)

If we calculate the area it would be:

rectangle 1:

2 * 4 = 8

rectangle 2:

3 * 6 = 18

Which means that the radius is 8/18 = 4/9

Which value of x makes the equation 0.5(x + 15) = 2 + 0.75(x - 4) true?

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{1}{2}(x+15) = 2 + \frac{3}{4}(x-4)$

To make this easier, to get ride of the fractions, we can multiply both sides by 4

$2(x+15) = 8 + 3(x-4)$

now use the distributive property

$2x + 30 = 8 + 3x - 12\\$

now we want to isolate x to one side and isolate all the constants to the other

$2x - 3x = 8 - 12 - 30\\$

now simplify

$-x = -34\\x = 34$

to test, we can plug in back to the original

$\frac{1}{2}(34+15) = \frac{49}{2}\\\frac{8}{4} + \frac{3}{4}(34-4) = \frac{8}{4} + \frac{90}{4} = \frac{98}{4} = \frac{49}{2}$

it works

Question: x-10<6-5x is it x<8/3 OR x<-8/3 help ;-;

Montano1993 [528]

You need to isolate/get x by itself in the inequality:

x - 10 < 6 - 5x Add 5x on both sides

x + 5x - 10 < 6 - 5x + 5x

6x - 10 < 6 Add 10 on both sides

6x - 10 + 10 < 6 + 10

6x < 16 Divide 6 on both sides to get x by itself

$x$ Simplify the fraction

$x$ So the 1st option

A method for determining whether a critical point is a minimum

avanturin [10]

Answer:

First and Second Derivative Tests. First identifies critical points. The second determines behavior around the point.

Concave up is a minimum
Concave down is a maximum

Step-by-step explanation:

The extreme points of a function are called the maximum and/or minimums. AT these points, the function (or y-values) are at their highest or lowest. These points are often the peaks and valleys of a function on a graph. You can determine if a function has max or min using the first and second derivative tests. The first determines critical points of the function. The second determines behavior around a point. If the value is positive then the function is concave up. It forms a valley and the point is a minimum. If the value is negative then the function is concave down. It forms a peak which has a maximum.
