Answer:

0.4069 ; 1.843

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Base of parallelogram, b = (2x - 1)

Height = (4x - 7)

Area = 1

Area of parallelogram = Base * height

Area of parallelogram = (2x - 1) * (4x - 7)

(2x - 1) * (4x - 7) = 1

8x² - 14x - 4x + 7 = 1

8x² - 18x + 7 - 1 = 0

8x² - 18x + 6 = 0

Divide through by 2

4x² - 9x + 3 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation :

Using the formula

-b ± √(b² - 4ac) / 2a

a = 4 ; b = - 9 ; c = 3

Plugging in the values :

-(-9) ± √((-9)² - 4(4)(3)) / 2(4)

9 ± √(81 - 48) / 8

9 ± √33 / 8

(9 ± 5.7445626) / 8

(9 - 5.7445626) / 8) = 0.4069

(9 + 5.7445626) / 8 = 1.843

What is the probability of not getting a blue<br> on this spinner? Be sure to reduce.<br> [?]
exis [7]

Answer:

5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of not getting blue can be found by dividing the number of sections that are not blue by the total number of sections.

P(not blue)= not blue / total

There are a total of 8 sections. 3 are blue, which leaves 5 that are not blue (1 yellow, 2 red and 2 green).

not blue= 5

total= 8

P ( not blue)= 5/8

This fraction cannot be reduced, therefore our answer is 5/8

I FOUND YOUR COMPLETE QUESTION IN OTHER SOURCES.

 PLEASE SEE ATTACHED IMAGE.

 For this case the area is given by:

 A = (22 + x) * (28 + x) = 722

 Rewriting we have:

 616 + 22x + 28x + x ^ 2 = 722

 x ^ 2 + 50x + 616 - 722 = 0

 x ^ 2 + 50x - 106 = 0

 Solving the polynomial we have:

 x1 = 2.04

 x2 = -52.04

 We take the positive root:

 x = 2.04 inches:

 Answer:

 The width of the border to the nearest inch is:

 x = 2inches
