Help me solve asap!!

the length of a rectangular garden is 3 m greater than the width. The area of the garden is 70m squared. find the dimensions of

Lerok [7]

A = l x w

so you know that the length is 3m longer than the width, so you could use a formula to represent that

w = l + 3

you then substitute the second equation into the first to solve for l

70 = l x (l +3)
70 = l^2 + 3l

you could then rearrange the formula and solve for l using the quadratic formula

0 = l^2 + 3l - 70

l = -3 +- (square root (3)^2 - 4(1)(70)) / 2(1)
l = -3 +- (square root 9 + 280) / 2
l = -3 +- (square root 289) / 2
l = -3 +- 17 / 2

then you solve for the two seperate roots

l = -3 + 17 /2
l = 14 / 2
l = 7

or

l = -3 - 17 / 2
l = -20 / 2
l = -10

since a length cannot be negative, this root is not viable. therefore l = 7

to solve for w you would use

w = l + 3
w = 7 + 3
w = 10

hope this helps! if you did not understand a step or concept please let me know!

A water well is to be drilled in the desert where the soil is either rock, clay or sand. The probability of rock P(R)equals=0.

GaryK [48]

The tree diagram for the probability is shown below

P(Clay|Positive) is read 'Probability of Clay given the result is Positive'.

This is a case of conditional probability.

The formula for conditional probability is given as
P(Clay|Positive) = P(Clay∩Positive) ÷ P(Positive)

P(Clay∩Positive) = 0.21×0.48 = 0.1008

P(Positive) = P(Rock∩Positive) + P(Clay∩Positive) + P(Sand∩Positive)
P(Positive) = (0.53×0.53) + (0.21×0.48) + (0.26×0.75)
P(Positive) = 0.2809 + 0.1008 + 0.195
P(Positive) = 0.5767

Hence,
P(Clay|Positive) = 0.1008÷0.5767 = 0.175 (rounded to 3 decimal place)

4. Add one set of parentheses to make the expression equal

Sauron [17]

The expression that is equal to 2022 by adding a set of parentheses is 12 x 12 x 12+ 12 x 12+ 12 x 12 + 12 / (12 /12 + 12 / 12).

<h3>How to solve a long-expression problem?</h3>

In mathematics, parentheses are used to group a set of mathematical terms. In a long-expression, like the one presented, using parenthesis implies:

The terms in the parentheses are solved separately from those outside the parentheses.
The terms in the parentheses are solved before solving those outside.
Moving the parentheses will affect the result of the whole expression.

Based on this, the expression that equals 2022 is:

12 x 12 x 12+ 12 x 12+ 12 x 12 + 12 / (12 /12 + 12 / 12)

<h3>Let's solve it to prove this result</h3><h3 />

12 x 12 x 12+ 12 x 12+ 12 x 12 + 12 / (12 /12 + 12 / 12)

First, solve the parenthesis first by dividing and then by adding.

12 x 12 x 12+ 12 x 12+ 12 x 12 + 12 / (1 + 1)12 x 12 x 12+ 12 x 12+ 12 x 12 + 12 / 2

Now, let's solve this expression, the first step is to solve the multiplications.

1728 + 144 + 144 + 12/2

Now, solve the division.

1728 + 144 + 144 + 6

Finally, add everything.

1728 + 144 + 144 + 6 = 2022

A hockey player strikes a hockey puck. The height of the puck increases until it reaches a maximum height of 3 feet, 55 feet awa

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

The maximum height of the second pluck is greater than that of the first pluck, hence the second pluck travels further

Also the distance of the maximum height of first pluck from the player is less than the distance of the second pluck from the player hence the second pluck travels further

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The maximum height of the first pluck is $h_1 = 3 \ ft$

The height of the second height is mathematically represented as

$$y=x\left(0.15-0.001x\right)$

=> $y=0.15x -0.001x^2$

Generally at maximum height $y' = 0$

So

$y'=0.15 -0.002 x = 0$

=> $x = 75 \ ft$

Here 75 ft is the horizontal distance the second pluck traveled at maximum height

So the maximum height of the second pluck is mathematically represented as

$y=0.15(75) -0.001(75)^2$

=> $y= 5.625 \ ft$

So comparing the maximum height of the first and the second pluck we see that the maximum height of the second pluck is greater than that of the first pluck, hence the second pluck travels father

Nendell saw at a diner if he bought one of each item and spent $7.50, how much did the drink cost

Lana71 [14]

All together: <span>3x + 0.05 + x + x + 0.10 = 7.50

5x + 0.15 = 7.50

5x = 7.35

x = 1.47

</span>1.47 +0.10=1.57<span>

so, the drink costs 1.57 </span>
