W= width
l= length= 2w-3

Area= length * width
A= lw
substitute l=2w-3 for l
54= (2w-3)(w)
54= 2w^2 - 3w
subtract 54 from both sides
0= 2w^2 - 3w - 54
factor the polynomial
0= (2w + 9)(w - 6)

Set each set of parentheses equal
to 0 and solve for width.

0=2w+9
-9=2w
-4.5= w NEGATIVE VALUE

0=w-6
6 cm=w

-4.5 is not the answer because it has a negative value. You cannot have a negative side of a photograph. So substitute 6 in to find length.

length= 2w-3
l= 2(6)-3
l= 12-3
l= 9 cm

CHECK:
w= 6cm
l= 9cm
Area= length * width
54= 6*9
54= 54

ANSWER: width= 6cm; length= 9cm

Hope this helps! :)

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

a) The estimated standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the​ proportion is 0.023

b) the estimated standard deviation have been if he had surveyed only 100 customers is 0.046

Step-by-step explanation:

given information:

the number of sample, n = 400

sample proportion, p = 70% = 0.7

a) standard deviation of a sample proportion is

σ = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}

  = \sqrt{\frac{0.7 (1-0.7)}{400} }

  = 0.023

b) if n = 100, so

σ = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}

  = \sqrt{\frac{0.7 (1-0.7)}{100} }

  = 0.046
