ipn [44]4 years ago

Answer:

5.6, 21.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the width.

We know that the length is 10+2x. The area of a rectangle is length times width, so substitute the values.

x*(10+2x)=120

10x+2x^2=120

Divide both sides by 2.

x^2+5x=60

Add 25/4 to both sides so we can make a square.

x^2+5x+ 25/4= 60+25/4=265 /4

Factor the left side.

(x+ 5 /2 )^2= 265 /4

x+2.5=(positive or negative) sqrt(265/4)

x=(positive or negative) sqrt(265/4)-2.5

But, we know that if the equation is negative, the width of the rectangle would be negative. Therefore, x=positive sqrt(265/4)-2.5

Then, we will find the sides.

sqrt66.25-2.5=5.63941, or about 5.6

10+(2(sqrt66.25-2.5))= 21.278821, or about 21.3

How are exponential functions related to logarithmic functions?<br> Model that with an example.
scoundrel [369]
Exponential functions are related to logarithmic functions in that they are inverse functions. Exponential functions move quickly up towards a [y] infinity, bounded by a vertical asymptote (aka limit), whereas logarithmic functions start quick but then taper out towards an [x] infinity, bounded by a horizontal asymptote (aka limit).
If we use the natural logarithm (ln) as an example, the constant "e" is the base of ln, such that:
ln(x) = y, which is really stating that the base (assumed "e" even though not shown), that:
{e}^{y}  = x
if we try to solve for y in this form it's nearly impossible, that's why we stick with ln(x) = y
but to find the inverse of the form:
{e}^{y}  = x
switch the x and y, then solve for y:
{e}^{x}  = y
So the exponential function is the inverse of the logarithmic one, f(x) = ln x

Tina is saving to buy a notebook computer. She has two options. The first option is to put $200 away initially and save $10 ever
omeli [17]

The <em>correct answers</em> are:


It would take 5 months and she would save $250.


Explanation:


Let m be the number of months.


For the first way of saving, $200 up front and $10 each month, the expression would be

200+10m.


For the second way of saving, $100 up front and $30 each month, the expression would be

100+30m.


Setting them equal gives us the equation

200+10m = 100+30m


Subtract 10m from each side:

200+10m-10m = 100+30m-10m

200 = 100+20m


Subtract 100 from each side:

200-100 = 100+20m-100

100 = 20m


Divide both sides by 20:

100/20 = 20m/20

5 = m


It would take 5 months.


$200 up front and $10 each month for 5 months:

200+10m

200+10(5)

200+50

250


She would save $250.

An engineer created a scale drawing of a building using a scale in which 0.25 inch represents 2 feet. The length of the actual b
Nady [450]

The length of the building in the scale drawing is 31. 25 Inches

<h3>How to determine the value</h3>

From the information given, we have that;

  • Scale drawing was used
  • 0. 25 inches represents 2 feet
  • The length of the building is 250 feet

Then,

If 0. 25 inches = 2 feet

Then x inches = 250 feet

cross multiply
x × 2 = 0. 25 × 2500

Multiply through, we have;

2x = 62. 5

Make 'x' the subject by dividing both sides by 2

2x/2 = 62. 5/ 2

x = 31. 25 Inches

Thus, the length of the building in the scale drawing is 31. 25 Inches

5. Guests are given a random goodie bag at a party. There are less than 15 bags, but more than 8. Part A: How many bags were pre
Artemon [7]

Answer:

  • 12 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of the bags = between 8 and 15  and

  • 1/2 of bags contain money
  • 1/6 of bags contain candy
  • 1/3 of bags contain a toy

As per above the number is divisible by 2, 3 and 6. LCM of the three numbers is 6.

<u> The number between 8 and 15 and divisible by 6:</u>

  • This number is 6*2 = 12

So the number of bags is 12
