The short sides of a rectangle are 2 inches. The long sides of the same rectangle are three less than an unknown number of inche

s. Two students are told that the perimeter of this rectangle is at least 30 inches. The first student says, "The length of the long side must be at least 13 inches". The second student says, "The unknown number must be at least 10 inches". Which of the following statements is true?

<u>Answer</u>

The first student was right.

The length of the long side is at least 13 inches.

<u>Explanation</u>

The perimeter of any figure is the distance all round.

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l+w). Where l is length and w is the width.

2(l + w) ≥ 30

2{(x-3) + 2} ≥ 30

2(x-3+2) = 30

2(x - 1) ≥ 30

x - 1 ≥ 15

x ≥ 16

When x = 16,

l = 16-3

  = 13 inches

The length of the long side is 13 inches. The first student was right.

Answer:

The true statement is <em>"The length of the long side must be at least 13 inches"</em><em>.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The short sides of a rectangle are 2 inches which will be its width.

The perimeter of the rectangle is known which is 30 inches.

The longest side (length) is said to be 3 less an unknown number, so assuming an unknown number x, it will be x - 3.

We can write an equation for perimeter:

<em>Perimeter = 2l + 2w</em>

<em>Perimeter <= 2(x-3) +2(2) </em>

30 <= 2x - 6 + 4

2x >= 32

x >= 16

Therefore the length x - 3 would be = 16 - 3 = 13 inches

So the first student is right.

Evaluate intergral 10xe exponent 10x dx​
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

for this type of question, integral by parts should be used . This involves using the formula for intregation by parts:

intudv=uv-intvdu.  

lets first break apart the x and e10x into two parts - "u" and "v"

where u = x.

however, we need to find the value of v. in order to do this, we can integrate dv/dx in order to get to v.  

the value of dv/dx is : e10x

 

u = x             dv/dx = e10x

 

as seen in the formula, you need to have a value for u, dv, v and du.  

therefore in order to get du you must differentiate u:

u = x    

du/dx = 1

du = 1dx = dx

du = dx

 

in order to get v you need to integrate dv/dx:

\displaystyle \inte10x dx = 1/10 x10x

now that we have both parts, we can put this back into the formula.  

 

intudv=uv-intvdu.  

 

\displaystyle \intxe10x = x * 1/10e10x  - \displaystyle \int1/10e10x dx

Find the next term is in the explicit and recursive rule for the in term of the sequence. NO LINKS!!!
BARSIC [14]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  5) 729, an=3^n, a[1]=3; a[n]=3·a[n-1]

  6) 1792, an=7(4^(n-1)), a[1]=7; a[n]=4·a[n-1]

Step-by-step explanation:

The next term of a geometric sequence is the last term multiplied by the common ratio. (This is the basis of the recursive formula.)

The Explicit Rule is ...

  a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}

for first term a₁ and common ratio r.

The Recursive Rule is ...

  a[1] = a₁

  a[n] = r·a[n-1]

__

5. First term is a₁ = 3; common ratio is r = 9/3 = 3.

Next term: 243×3 = 729

Explicit rule: an = 3·3^(n-1) = 3^n

Recursive rule: a[1] = 3; a[n] = 3·a[n-1]

__

6. First term is a₁ = 7; common ratio is r = 28/7 = 4.

Next term: 448×4 = 1792

Explicit rule: an = 7·4^(n-1)

Recursive rule: a[1] = 7; a[n] = 4·a[n-1]
