A rectangle has an area of 19.38 cm2. When both the length and width of the rectangle are increased by 1.50 cm, the area of the

rectangle becomes 35.28 cm2. Calculate the length of the longer of the two sides of the initial rectangle.

Answer: 5.7\ cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Rectangle has an area of 19.38\ cm^2

Suppose rectangle length and width are l and w

If each side is increased by 1.50\ cm

Area becomes A_2=35.28\ cm^2

We can write

\Rightarrow lw=19.38\quad \ldots(i)\\\\\Rightarrow (l+1.5)(w+1.5)=35.28\\\Rightarrow lw+1.5(l+w)+1.5^2=35.28\\\text{use (i) for}\ lw\\\Rightarrow 19.38+1.5(l+w)=35.28-2.25\\\Rightarrow l+w=9.1\quad \ldots(ii)

Substitute the value of width from (ii) in equation (i)

\Rightarrow l(9.1-l)=19.38\\\Rightarrow l^2-9.1l+19.38=0\\\\\Rightarrow l=\dfrac{9.1\pm\sqrt{(-9.1)^2-4(1)(19.38)}}{2\times 1}\\\\\Rightarrow l=\dfrac{9.1\pm\sqrt{5.29}}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow l=\dfrac{9.1\pm2.3}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow l=3.4,\ 5.7

Width corresponding to these lengths

w=5.7,\ 3.4

Therfore, we can write the length of the longer side is 5.7\ cm

Answer:

  1. y=8x-3
  2. y=-2x-1
  3. y=-x-1
  4. y=4x+5
  5. y=3
  6. y=7x+0 or y=7x
  7. y=10x+4
  8. y=-6x+9

the equation for the graph:

y=2x-2

use the y-intercept ((0,-2))

and the for the slope you do y1-y2/x1-x2

0-(-2)/1-0= 2

Define what 180 degrees means in math(for geometry)
Neko [114]
180 degrees is a straight line. It is half of 360 which is a full circle, so if you split the circle in half you'll get a straight line.

Find the equation of the line of best fit in slope intercept form . please help
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

y = (2/5)x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that the y-intercept is (0, 3) and that the line passes right through the point (5, 5).  First we find the slope of this line:  m = rise/run.

As we move from (0, 3) to (5, 5), we see that x increases by 5 (the run) and y increases by 2 (the rise).  Thus, the slope of this line is m = 2/5.

Now we know that m = 2/5, x = 5, y = 5 and b (the y-intercept) is 3.  Then our equation is y = mx + b, or y = (2/5)x + 3

f(x) =  {x}^{2}  + 2x

For f( - 3), substitute "-3" for each occurrence of "x".

f( - 3) = ( { - 3})^{2}  + 2( - 3)

= ( - 3 \times  - 3) - 6
