Answer:

The dimensions of the old rug are 8 ft by 12 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the length of the old rug

y ----> the width of the old rug

we know that

100\%+50\%=150\%=150\100=1.5

so

The dimensions of the old rug multiplied by the factor 1.5 must be equal to the dimensions of the new rug

so

1.5x=12\\x=8\ ft

1.5y=18\\y=12\ ft

therefore

The dimensions of the old rug are 8 ft by 12 ft

Identify the surface with the given vector equation. r(u, v) = 2 sin(u) i + 5 cos(u) j + v k, 0 ≤ v ≤ 5 plane hyperbolic parabol
olchik [2.2K]
Note that this just produces three parametric equations:

x(u) = 2 \sin(u)
y(u) = 5 \cos(u)
z(v) = v

In the x-y plane, this is just he parametric equation for an ellipse (as a function of u). The z is simply a linear function. 

The surface is then an ellipse extruded along the z-axis. We get a elliptic cylinder.

PWEASE HELP IF YOUBARE GOOD AT MATH
Novosadov [1.4K]
<h3>Answer: 2</h3>

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

Explanation:

The function f(x) = -4x+1 is the same as y = -4x+1 where y = f(x)

Compare this to y = mx+b and we see the slope here is m = -4

---------

Now let's find the slope of g(x)

use the slope formula with any two rows you want. I'll pick on the last two rows.

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (21-9)/(3-1)

m = 12/2

m = 6 is the slope of g(x)

---------

From here, we add the two slope values

(slope of f)+(slope of g) = -4+6 = 2
