Cynthia Besch wants to buy a rug for a room that is 24 ft wide and 33 ft long. She

<h3>Answer: 16 ft by 25 ft</h3>

=========================================================

Explanation:

Refer to the diagram below.

The outer dimensions 24 ft and 33 ft shrink down to 24-2x ft and 33-2x ft respectively. This subtraction of 2x is due to subtracting two copies of x per side.

The carpet has area of (24-2x)(33-2x)

Cynthia can afford to buy 400 sq ft of carpet

So we set 400 equal to that previous expression and solve for x

(24-2x)(33-2x) = 400

24(33-2x) - 2x(33-2x) = 400

792-48x - 66x + 4x^2 = 400

4x^2 - 114x + 792 = 400

4x^2 - 114x + 792-400 = 0

4x^2 - 114x + 392 = 0

From here, use the quadratic formula to isolate x.

Plug in a = 4, b = -114, c = 392

$x = \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\x = \frac{-(-114)\pm\sqrt{(-114)^2-4(4)(392)}}{2(4)}\\\\x = \frac{114\pm\sqrt{6724}}{8}\\\\x = \frac{114\pm82}{8}\\\\x = \frac{114+82}{8} \ \text{ or } \ x = \frac{114-82}{8}\\\\x = \frac{196}{8} \ \text{ or } \ x = \frac{32}{8}\\\\x = 24.5 \ \text{ or } \ x = 4\\\\$

The two possible solutions are x = 24.5 and x = 4

But if x = 24.5, then 24 - 2x = 24 - 2*24.5 = -25 which isn't possible. We cannot have a negative width or negative length for the carpet.

Luckily x = 4 does work since

24 - 2x = 24 - 2*4 = 16

33 - 2x = 33 - 2*4 = 25

Both results are positive.

Therefore, the carpet has dimensions of <u>16 ft by 25 ft</u>

Check: 16*25 = 400, so the answer is confirmed

1. What is factorization? <br>2.Find the factorization of 891 and please explain!<br><br>Thank you!

Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

In mathematics, factorization (also factorisation in some forms of British English) or factoring consists of writing a number or another mathematical object as a product of several factors, usually smaller or simpler objects of the same kind.Prime factorization of 891 = 1×3×3×3×3×11= 1×34×11

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We write number 891 above a 2-column table

2. We divide 891 by the smallest possible prime factor

3. We write down on the left side of the table the prime factor and next number to factorize on the ride side

4. We continue to factor in this fashion (we deal with odd numbers by trying small prime factors)

5. We continue until we reach 1

The following data points represent the number of players on the Russian Bears volleyball team that were injured in each match t

zvonat [6]

Answer:

its 0=0 1=3 and 2=3

Step-by-step explanation: count how many of the injuries there are for 0. In this case there is none. so how many 1's are there, 3. so put 3 in 1. Now two there is 3 for 2 so put 3 in the 2.

Which of the following BEST defines an output? please help me, I've been stuck on this one for a while!

NeTakaya

A statement which best defines an output is: B. an output is the result of a relation or the function rule, usually the y-values in a set of ordered pairs or on a table or graph.

<h3>What is a function?</h3>

A function can be defined as a mathematical expression that defines and represents the relationship between two or more variable, which is typically modelled as input (x-values) and output (y-values).

<h3>The types of function.</h3>

In Mathematics, there are different types of functions and these include the following;

Periodic function

Inverse function

Modulus function

Signum function

Piece-wise defined function

In this context, we can infer and logically deduce that a statement which best defines an output is that it's the result of a relation or the function rule, which usually are the y-values in a set of ordered pairs, on a table or a graph.

Complete Question:

Which of the following best defines an output?

A. An output is the value that determines another based on the relation or the function rule, usually the x-values in a set of ordered pairs or on a table or graph.

B. An output is the result of a relation or the function rule, usually the y-values in a set of ordered pairs or on a table or graph.

C. An output is a special type of relation for which there is a rule that pairs each input with exactly one output.

D. An output is a set of ordered pairs in which no y-value repeats.
