Answer:

The dimensions of the carpet are 15 inches and 82 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that the width of the carpet is x inches

∵ The width of the carpet is x inches

∵ The length of the carpet is 67 inches more than the width

∴ The length of the carpet is (x + 67) inches

∵ The perimeter of the rectangle = 2(length + width)

∵ The perimeter of the carpet = 194 inches

→ Equate the two right sides of the perimeter

∴ 2(length + width) = 194

→ Divide both sides by 2

∴ length + width = 97

→ Substitute the value of the length and width in the equation above

∵ x + 67 + x = 97

→ Add the like terms in the left side

∴ (x + x) + 67 = 97

∴ 2x + 67 = 97

→ Subtract 67 from both sides

∵ 2x + 67 - 67 = 97 - 67

∴ 2x = 30

→ Divide both sides by 2

∴ x = 15

∵ x represents the width of the carpet

∴ The width of the carpet is 15 inches

∵ The length of the carpet = 15 + 67

∴ The length of the carpet is 82 inches

∴ The dimensions of the carpet are 15 inches and 82 inches

The measure of an interior angle of a regular polygon is 140°140°. find the number of sides of the polygon.
MA_775_DIABLO [31]
\alpha = \cfrac{180(n-2)}{n}  \ \ \ \ \  [ \alpha =interior \ angle, \ \ n=number \ of &#10; \ sides]  \\  \\  \\ 140 = \cfrac{180(n-2)}{n} \\ \\  140n = 180(n-2) \\ \\ 140n=180n-360 \\ \\ 40n=360 \\ \\ n= \frac{360}{40}=9 \ \ sides

What is the recursive formula for this geometric sequence with this explicit formula?
BabaBlast [244]

D

the n th term (explicit ) formula for a geometric sequence is

a_{n} = a_{1}(r)^{n-1}

The given explicit formula therefore has

a_{1} = 5 and r = - \frac{1}{8}

The recursive formula, allows us to find the next term in the sequence from the previous term

Here the next term in the sequence is obtained by multiplying the previous term by - \frac{1}{8}

a_{n} = a_{n-1}(- \frac{1}{8}) with a_{1} = 5

What is the x-intercept of the line containing the points (–6, 10) and (12, –2)?
const2013 [10]
Slope = (-2 - 10)/(12 + 6) = -12/18 = -2/3

y = mx + b
10 = -2/3(-6) + b
10 = 4 + b
b =6

equation
y = -2/3x + 6

<span>x-intercept when y = 0
</span>-2/3x + 6 = 0
-2/3x = -6
      x = 6 (3/2)
      x = 9

PLEASE HELP!<br><br> Question is on photo! <br> Thank you!!

We conclude that the relation presented in the picture is a function with domain: - 4 ≤ x < 1 and range: - 4 ≤ x ≤ 5. (Correct choices: B, C, H)

<h3>How to determine the domain and range of a relation and if a relation is a function</h3>

Herein we have a relation between two variables, x and y, relations involve two sets: an input set called domain and an output set called range. A relation is a function if and only if every element of the domain is related to only one element from the range.

Graphically speaking, the horizontal axis corresponds with the domain, whereas the vertical axis is for the set of the range. According to the previous concepts, we conclude that the relation presented in the picture is a function with domain: - 4 ≤ x < 1 and range: - 4 ≤ x ≤ 5. (Correct choices: B, C, H)
