Answer:

Length= 17 feet

Width= 29 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Original</u>

Length= (2x +1) ft

Width= (3x -3) ft

<u>New deck</u>

Length= (2x +1) ft

Width

= (3x -3 +x) ft

= (4x -3) ft

Area of deck= length ×width

493= (2x +1)(4x -3)

<em>Expand</em><em>:</em>

493= 2x(4x) +2x(-3) +1(4x) +1(-3)

493= 8x² -6x +4x -3

493= 8x² -2x -3

8x² -2x -3 -493= 0

8x² -2x -496= 0

<em>Divide</em><em> </em><em>by</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em> </em><em>throughout</em><em>:</em>

4x² -x -248= 0

<em>Factorise</em><em>:</em>

(x -8)(4x +31)= 0

x -8=0 or 4x +31= 0

x= 8 or 4x= -31 (reject)

Length of new deck

= 2(8) +1

= 16 +1

= 17 ft

Width of new deck

= 4(8) -3

= 32 -3

= 29 ft

On a six-question multiple-choice test there are five possible answers for each question, of which one is correct and four are i
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

given that on a six-question multiple-choice test there are five possible answers for each question, of which one is correct and four are incorrect

By mere guessing probability for choosing correct answer = p = 0.2

also each question is independent of the other

Hence if X is the number of correct questions then

X is binomial with p = 0.2 and n = 6

a) being correct on three questions,

=P(X=3) = 0.08192

(b) being correct on four questions,

= P(X=4) = 0.01536

(c) being correct on all six questions

=P(x=6) = 0.000064

Which of the following represents the graph of f(x) = one−half to the power of x?
puteri [66]

f(x) = \frac{1}{2}^x

In this exponential function , the base is \frac{1}{2}

if base is less than 1 then it a decreasing function

We can verify it using a table

We plug in some x and values and find out f(x) to get point for the graph

x -----> f(x)

-1 -----> 2

0 ------> 1

1 -------> 0.5

The table is same as the points in first graph.

So first graph represents the graph of f(x) = \frac{1}{2}^x
