Answer:

Dimensions of the screen are a minimum of 10 inches wide by 8 inches high. The difference between the height and width will be 2 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Height = H

Width = H + a

Area = Height x Width

b = H * (H + a)

b = H^{2} + aH

H^{2} + aH > 80

H^{2} + aH - 80 > 0

a<5 means 'a' can be a = 1, 2, 3, 4

Solving for H for each option of 'a' will give values of 'H' using the quadratic formula below

H = \frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}

As 'a' and 'b' must be positive integers, H and W must be positive integers as well,

a = 1, H = 8.46, H = -9.46

a = 2, H = 8, H = -10

a = 3, H = 7.57, H = -10.57

a = 4, H = 7.17, H = -11.17

Based on above possible answers:

a=2, H=8

W = H + a

W = 8 + 2

W = 10

Dimensions of the screen are a minimum of 10 inches wide by 8 inches high. The difference between the height and width will be 2 inches

The graph below shows the water level of a tank that is emptying over time.
Allisa [31]
From inspecting the graph, you can identify the y-intercept and the slope of the line shown.

The y-intercept is 200 gallons.
The slope is 

             75-200
    m = ------------- = -12.5 gallons/minute
               10 -  0

Thus, y = 200 gallons - [12.5 gallons/minute ]t

To answer the 2nd question, let t = 12 minutes and calculate y(12).

To determine how long it wld take to empty the tank, set the above formula equal to zero and solve the resulting equation for t.

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

If our random variable of interest for this case is X="the number of teenagers between 12-17 with smartphone" we can model the variable with this distribution:

X \sim Binom(n=234, p=0.75)

And the mean for this case would be:

E(X) =np = 234*0.75= 175.5

And the standard deviation would be given by:

\sigma =\sqrt{np(1-p)}= \sqrt{234*0.75*(1-0.75)}= 6.624
