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.

The graph has a y-intercept of 2 and is shifted to the right 6 from the parent function.

The parent function, y=√x, looks like a parabola laid on its side.  We generally only consider the positive square root unless told otherwise.  Since we have √(x-6) instead of just √x, the graph is shifted to the right 6 units.  The +2 at the end of the equation shifts the graph up 2.

The table shows the outputs y for different inputs x:
Rasek [7]
Part A: Yes, the data represent a function. The definition of a function is a relation in which no value of x will have two different values of y.
(Every time you plug in 3 as x, you will always get 4 as y; it's ok if you plug in 3 and 5 as x and get the same y, you just can't get two different y's for one x; sorry, it is pretty confusing). None of the numbers in the table repeat, so we can safely say that the relation is a function.

Part B: All we have to do is plug in 11 for x in the function given to find the answer:
f(x)=5x-21\\f(x)=5(11)-21\\f(x)=55-21\\f(x)=34
In the table, y = 8 when x = 11, but in the function given, y = 34 when x = 11, so the function given is greater.

Part C: To find the answer to C, just plug in 99 for f(x), as it tells you to do:
f(x) = 5x-21\\99=5x-21\\99+21=5x-21+21\\120=5x\\120/5=5x/5\\24=x

How do you do this question?
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

C) π/6

Step-by-step explanation:

The area under the curve from x=-π/2 to x=k is 3 times the area under the curve from x=k to x=π/2.

\int\limits^k_{-\frac{\pi }{2}} {cos\ x} \, dx = 3\int\limits^{\frac{\pi }{2}}_k {cos\ x} \, dx\\sin\ x\ |^{k}_{-\frac{\pi }{2}} = 3\ sin\ x\ |^{\frac{\pi }{2}}_k\\(sin\ k - (-1)) = 3\ (1 - sin\ k)\\sin\ k + 1 = 3 - 3\ sin\ k\\4\ sin\ k = 2\\sin\ k = \frac{1}{2}\\k = \frac{\pi}{6}
