Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a pentagon is gotten through the summation of its five sides. Let the first side be represented by x. Since each side of a pentagon is 10 cm greater than the previous side, then the sides will be:

First side = x

Second side = x + 10

Third side = x + 10 + 10 = x + 20

Forth side = x + 30

Fifty side = x + 40

Therefore,

x + (x + 10) + (x + 20) + (x + 30) + (x + 40) = 500

5x + 100 = 500

5x = 500 - 100

5x = 400

x = 400/5

x = 80

Therefore, the lengths will be:

First side = x = 80cm

Second side = x + 10 = 80 + 10 = 90cm

Third side = x + 20 = 80 + 20 = 100cm

Forth side = x + 30 = 80 + 30 = 110cm

Fifty side = x + 40 = 80 + 40 = 120cm

The answer is f(x)=x²+2x when evaluated with -3 gives you the value of 3

Let's check all functions.
1. The function f(x)=x²<span>+2x when evaluated with 3 gives you the value of 3:
  Evaluated with x means that</span> x = 3.
   f(3) = 3² + 2 * 3 = 9 + 6 = 15 
   15 ≠ 3, so, this is not correct.

2. f(x)=x²<span>-3x when evaulated with -3 give you the value of 3
    Evaluated with -3 means that x = -3.
    (f-3) = (-3)</span>² - 3 * (-3) = 9 + 9 = 18 
    18 ≠ 3, so, this is not correct.

3. f(x)=x²<span>+2x when evaluated with -3 gives you the value of 3
</span>    Evaluated with -3 means that x = -3.
    f(-3) = (-3)² + 2 * (-3) = 9 - 6 = 3
    3 = 3, so this is correct.

4. f(x)=x²-3x when evaluated with -3 gives you the value of 3
    Evaluated with 3 means that x = 3.
    f(3) = (3)² - 3 * 3 = 9 - 9 = 0
    0 ≠ 3, so this is not correct.

(50 points worth ) A rectangular prism fish tank a length of 5 1/2 in., a width of 7 in., and a height of 2 1/2 in. Use this to
densk [106]
A) What's the volume of this fish tank? Show all work and express your answer as a mixed number in its most simplified form!
 By definition we have that the volume of a rectangular prism is given by:
 V = (w) * (l) * (h)
 Where,
 w: width
 l: long
 h: height
 We then have to replace the values:
 V = (7) * (5.5) * (2.5)
 V = 96.25 in ^ 3
 Equivalently:
 V = 96 1/4 in ^ 3


 B) Could this fish tank hold 100 in³ of water? Answer yes or no, then explain why in one or more sentences.

 No, this fish tank could not hold 100 in³ of water.
 This is because the prism volume (part A) is less than 100 in ^ 3.
 In other words;
 96 1/4 in ^ 3 <100 in ^ 3

kap26 [50]

Answer: Yes. There there been a significant shift upward in the percentage of persons who want to go to Asia.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given in the question, past experience at the Pasadena Travel Agency shows that 44% of people who came to plan a vacation with the agency wanted to go to Asia.

During the most recent busy season, a sampling of 1,000 plans was selected at random from the files. It was found that 480 persons wanted to go to Asia on vacation. The percentage of people who want to go to Asia now will be:

= 480/1000 × 100

= 48%

Therefore, there has been a significant shift upward in the percentage of persons who want to go to Asia.
