Answer:

The dimensions are 7.4m by 15.1 m (to the nearest tenth).

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = length * width

If the width = x then the length = 3x - 7 so

Area x(3x - 7) = 111

3x^2 - 7x - 111 = 0

Using the quadratic formula:

x  = [ -(-7) +/- √((-7)^2 - 4*3*-111)] / (2*3)

x =  7.36, -5.03.

The width must be positive s it is 7.36 m.

The length = 3(7.36) - 7

= 15.08 m.

The graph shows g(x), which is a translation of f(x)=|x|. Write the function rule for g(x).
Kay [80]

Answer:

  g(x) = |x| -9

Step-by-step explanation:

In the form ...

  g(x) = a|x -h| +k

the parameters are ...

  • a: the vertical scale factor (1)
  • h: the right shift of the vertex (0)
  • k: the upward shift of the vertex (-9)

The vertex of |x| is (0, 0). The vertex of g(x) is (0, -9), so there has been a vertical shift of -9 and no horizontal shift. The slopes of the lines on the graph of g(x) have a magnitude of 1, so the vertical scale is not changed from the original function (a=1).

Then the translated function is ...

  g(x) = |x| -9

I need help in find the value of the variables please!!!!
lord [1]

Answer:

11: x=90 and y=10

12:  x=59 and y=48

14?: x = 28,   y = 20 and z = 56

15:  x = 4 and y = 53

Step-by-step explanation:

11:  Since two sides are parallel, you can draw a transversal (a line that crosses through both) that makes sure all angles it makes are 90 degrees.  (let me know if that doesn't make sense.  Now you have two trapezoids.  One has angle measures 90+90+90+x=360 and the other has 90+90+77+y = 360.  Doing some quick algebra gets you x=90 and y=10

12:  We do the same thing, transversal throught he parallel lines to get four  90 degree angles.  Now 360 = 90 + 90 + 2x + 62 makes x = 59 and 360 = 90 + 90 +3 y + 42 makes y = 48

(14?  the one to the left of 15):  Could do the same thing to solve for x, then we need to do something different for y and z.  so first 90 + 90 + 68 + 4x = 360 so x=28.  Now, since this is an isosceles trapezoid it means the two top angles are equal and the two bottom angles are equal.  so 68 =3y+8 so y = 20 and 2z = 4x = 4(28)  makes z = 56

for 15 we'll start with y.  We will call the two equal angles a, because we need to use them.  Since the top and bottom  parts are parallel, 106 + a = 180 and 2y + a = 180.  Use a system of equations to find a = 74 and y = 53 (You just needed y of course).  since 2y=106, we know that 4x=6x-8 so then we can solve for x = 4

A natural number _a rational number.
lora16 [44]
A natural number is a positive integer, example, 1,2,5,299 etc.
A rational number is a number that can be expressed as a fraction of integers, such as 245/127, 1/2, 5/1,8/1,...
Since a natural number can be expressed as a fraction of integers, so 

a natural number IS a rational number.
