The perimeter of a rectangle is 34 units and its width is 6.5 units

1 answer:

5 0

Since you technically didn't ask for anything to be solved for, this problem is now solved. Since these types of problems are normally solving for legnth if width is given and vice versa, I will solve for legnth.

perimiter=legnth+legnth+width+width or
p=l+l+w+w
p=2l+2w
subsitute w=6.5 and p=34
34=2l+2(6.5)
34=2l+13
subtract 13 from both sides
21=2l
divide by 2
10.5=l

legnth=10.5 units

My name is Ann [436]

1/2 of a mile is divided equally into 3 parts- we need to find the distance between the second and third sign.

1/2 x 1/3 is 1/6.

This means that each sign is 1/6th of a mile apart.

Which of the following graphs shows the solution set for the inequality below? 3|x + 1| < 9

Bas_tet [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value function is a well known piecewise function (a function defined by multiple subfunctions) that is described mathematically as

$f(x) \ = \ |x| \ = \ \left\{\left\begin{array}{ccc}x, \ \text{if} \ x \ \geq \ 0 \\ \\ -x, \ \text{if} \ x \ < \ 0\end{array}\right\}$ .

This definition of the absolute function can be explained geometrically to be similar to the straight line $\textbf{\textit{y}} \ = \ \textbf{\textit{x}}$ , however, when the value of x is negative, the range of the function remains positive. In other words, the segment of the line $\textbf{\textit{y}} \ = \ \textbf{\textit{x}}$ where $\textbf{\textit{x}} \ < \ 0$ (shown as the orange dotted line), the segment of the line is reflected across the x-axis.

First, we simplify the expression.

$3\left|x \ + \ 1 \right| \ < \ 9 \\ \\ \\\-\hspace{0.2cm} \left|x \ + \ 1 \right| \ < \ 3$ .

We, now, can simply visualise the straight line, $y \ = \ x \ + \ 1$ , as a line having its y-intercept at the point $(0, \ 1)$ and its x-intercept at the point $(-1, \ 0)$ . Then, imagine that the segment of the line where $x \ < \ 0$ to be reflected along the x-axis, and you get the graph of the absolute function $y \ = \ \left|x \ + \ 1 \right|$ .

Consider the inequality

$\left|x \ + \ 1 \right| \ < \ 3$ ,

this statement can actually be conceptualise as the question

$``\text{For what \textbf{values of \textit{x}} will the absolute function \textbf{be less than 3}}"$ .

Algebraically, we can solve this inequality by breaking the function into two different subfunctions (according to the definition above).

Case 1 (when $x \ \geq \ 0$ )

$x \ + \ 1 \ < \ 3 \\ \\ \\ \-\hspace{0.9cm} x \ < \ 3 \ - \ 1 \\ \\ \\ \-\hspace{0.9cm} x \ < \ 2$

Case 2 (when $x \ < \ 0$ )

$-(x \ + \ 1) \ < \ 3 \\ \\ \\ \-\hspace{0.15cm} -x \ - \ 1 \ < \ 3 \\ \\ \\ \-\hspace{1cm} -x \ < \ 3 \ + \ 1 \\ \\ \\ \-\hspace{1cm} -x \ < \ 4 \\ \\ \\ \-\hspace{1.5cm} x \ > \ -4$

*remember to flip the inequality sign when multiplying or dividing by

negative numbers on both sides of the statement.

Therefore, the values of x that satisfy this inequality lie within the interval

$-4 \ < \ x \ < \ 2$ .

Similarly, on the real number line, the interval is shown below.

The use of open circles (as in the graph) indicates that the interval highlighted on the number line does not include its boundary value (-4 and 2) since the inequality is expressed as "less than", but not "less than or equal to". Contrastingly, close circles (circles that are coloured) show the inclusivity of the boundary values of the inequality.

Citizens less than 18 years old are not allowed to vote define a variable and write an inequality for the ages of citizens who a

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

$x < 18$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

"Citizens less than 18 years old are not allowed to vote"

We define a variable x such that x represents the age of citizens.

We have to write a relationship with the help of an inequality for the ages of citizens who are not allowed to vote.

Citizens less than 18 are not allowed to vote.

So x should be less than 18.

This can be written as:

$x < 18$

is the required inequality for the ages of citizens who are not allowed to vote.

Two part-time instructors are hired by the Department of Statistics and each is assigned at random to teach a single course in p

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

The probability that they will teach different courses is $\frac{2}{3}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample space is a set of all possible outcomes of an experiment.

In this case we will write the sample space in the form (x, y).

Here x represents the course taught by the first part-time instructor and y represents the course taught by the second part-time instructor.

Denote every course by their first letter.

The sample space is as follows:

S = {(P, P), (P, I), (P, S), (I, P), (I, I), (I, S), (S, P), (S, I) and (S, S)}

The outcomes where the the instructors will teach different courses are:

s = {(P, I), (P, S), (I, P),(I, S), (S, P) and (S, I)}

The probability of an events E is the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes.

$P(E)=\frac{n(E)}{N}$

Compute the probability that they will teach different courses as follows:

$P(\text{Different courses})=\frac{n(s)}{n(S)}=\frac{6}{9}=\frac{2}{3}$

Thus, the probability that they will teach different courses is $\frac{2}{3}$ .
