Answer:

Perimeter, P = 112 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Let the length of the rectangle be L.
  • Let the width of the rectangle be W.

Translating the word problem into an algebraic expression, we have;

L = 6W  ...... equation 1

<u>Given the following data;</u>

  • Area of rectangle = 384 m²

To find the perimeter of the rectangle;

First of all, we would determine the dimensions of the rectangle using its area.

Mathematically, the area of a rectangle is given by the formula;

Area of rectangle = LW  ..... equation 2

Substituting eqn 1 into eqn 2, we have;

384 = 6W(W)

384 = 6W²

Dividing both sides by 6, we have;

W² = 384/6

W² = 64

Taking the square root of both sides, we have;

W = √64

Width, W = 8 meters

Next, we would find the length;

L = 6W

L = 6 * 8

Length, L = 48 meters

Lastly, we would determine the perimeter of the rectangle using the above dimensions;

Mathematically, the perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula;

Perimeter = 2(L + W)

Substituting the values into the formula, we have;

Perimeter, P = 2(48 + 8)

Perimeter, P = 2(56)

<em>Perimeter, P = 112 meters</em>

Julio's father is 4 times as old as Julio. The sum of their ages is no less than 55.
seropon [69]
Call (F) the age of the father and (J) the age of Julio

The F & J are related in this way: F=4J

 Now you have a restriction in the form of inequality: The sum of both ages has to be greater or equal than 55.

Algebraically that is: F + J ≥ 55

You can substitute F with 4J to find the solution for J: 

4J + J ≥ 55

5J ≥ 55

Now divide both sides by 5

5J/5 ≥ 55/5

J ≥ 11 

That Imposes a lower boundary for the value of J of 11, meaning that the youngest age of Julio can be 11

Radda [10]

Answer: At $21.85, the supply will equal to demand.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Demand function is given by

D(p) = 50 - 0.04p^2, \text{where p is the price.}

Supply function is given by

S(p) = 10 + 0.002p^3

According to question, we need to find the price for which the supply equals the demand, i.e. Equilibrium price and quantity.

D(p)=S(p)\\\\50-0.04p^2=10+0.002p^3\\\\50-10=0.002p^3+0.04p^2\\\\40=\frac{2}{1000}p^3+\frac{4}{100}p^2\\\\40=\frac{2}{100}p^2(\frac{1}{10}p+2)\\\\\frac{40\times 100}{2}=p^2(\frac{1p+20}{2})\\\\\mathrm{The\:Newton-Raphson\:method\:uses\:an\:iterative\:process\:to\:approach\:one\:root\:of\:a\:function}\\\\p\approx \:21.85861\dots

So, at $21.85, the supply will equal to demand.
