1 variation is good and the other is bad
The area of this rectangle is x*y. But, this problem requires that you represent the variable "y" in terms of "x" only.
A hint here is that the variable "y" represent a point on the line that connects the end points (0,b) and (a,0).
The first step to solve this problem is to get the expression of this line.
The slope of this line is: m = (0 - b)/(a - 0) = -b/a
Because the point (x,y) is on this line we have: y - b = m(x - 0)
y = (-b/a)x + b
Solution: Area of the rectangle = x*y = x*((-b/a)x + b) = (-b/a)x2 +bx
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
6^2=5^2+b^2
36=25+b
36-25=b
B= square root of 9
B= 3
Choosing 4 men from seven can be done in 7C4 = 35 ways
(There are 7 to choose from then 6 and 5 and 4 = 7 x 6 x 5 x 4
but we don’t want them in order so we need to divide by 4! = 4 x 3 x 2 x 1)
Similarly choosing 4 women from 11 can be done in 11C4 = 330 ways.
Total number of ways to choose 4 men and 4 women = 35 x 330 = 11550

Answer:
0.015x
Step-by-step explanation:
The amounts earned at the different rates are ...
at 2%: 0.02x
at 3.5%: 0.035x
The difference in earnings is ...
0.035x -0.02x = 0.015x
