Answer:

(a) The strip should be 5ft wide

(b) The strip around the outside field is 10ft wide.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of the rectangular field, L= 200 ft

width of the rectangular field, w = 100 ft

Area of the rectangular field, A = 200ft x 100ft = 20000 ft^2

let the width of the strip = x

The strip around the outside field = 2x

If the field is increased by 15.5%

New area of the field = 1.155 x 20000 = 23,100 ft^2

The increase in area of the field = 3,100 ft

3,100 = New area of field - old area of the field

3100 = (200 + 2x)(100 + 2x) - 20000

3100 = 20000 + 400x 200x + 4x^2 - 20000

3100 = 600x + 4x^2

Divide through by 4

775 = 150x + x^2

x^2 + 150x - 775 = 0

Factorize

(x + 155)(x-5) = 0

x = 5 ft

The strip should be 5ft wide.

The strip around the outside field = 2 x 5 ft = 10 ft

Thus, the strip around the outside field is 10ft wide.

Given that x overbarequals3.6667​, s Subscript xequals2.0656​, y overbarequals4.2167​, s Subscript yequals1.5613​, and requalsne
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

y = 0.7063x+2.7790

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

x bar = 3.6667\\s_x= 2.0656\\y bar = 4.2167\\s_7 = 1.5613\\r = -0.9344

We have slope of linear regression line is

a=r*\frac{s_y}{s_x} =0.9344(\frac{1.5613}{2.0656} )\\=0.7063

So regression line would be of the form

y-4.2167 = 0.7063(x-2.0656) (since it passes through xbar, y bar)

y = 0.7063x+2.7790

is the equation of regression line.

Because bernard has some health issues, he must pay 15% more for life insurance. about how much more annually will a $115,000 10
Sergeu [11.5K]

The amount more annually a $115,000 10-year term insurance at age 35 cost Bernard than someone of the same age without health issues is $24.

<h3>What are insurance premiums?</h3>

The insurance premium is paid as a cost to cover a possible loss that is unseen.

The annual premium rate as a percentage of the value insured a person at age 35 has to pay is 0.14%.

From the given information, we have that the amount a 35-year-old without health issues will pay per $1,000 is $1.40

The amount to be paid for $115,000 is 115 × $1.4 = $161

The amount Bernard pays = 15% more

= 1.15 × $161

= $185.15

Therefore,

The amount more Bernard has to pay = $185.15 - $161

= $24.15 ≈ $24

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

  • Initial amount of the material is 67 kg
  • Hal-life is 83 hours

<u>The required equation is:</u>

  • m(x) = 67 * (1/2)^{x/83}, where m- remaining amount of the radioactive material, x - number of hours

<u>After 5 hours the material remains:</u>

  • m(5) = 67 * (1/2)^{5/83} = 64.260 (rounded)
