Answer:

  205 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w represent the width of the rectangle. Then the length is (6w-17) and the area is ...

  A = LW

  7585 = (6w-17)(w)

  6w² -17w -7585 = 0

Perhaps most straightforward is using the quadratic formula to solve this.

For ax² +bx +c = 0, the solution is x = (-b±√(b²-4ac))/(2a). For the above quadratic, the solution is ...

  x=\dfrac{-(-17)\pm\sqrt{(-17)^2-4\cdot6\cdot(-7585)}}{2\cdot6}=\dfrac{17\pm\sqrt{182329}}{12}\\\\x=\dfrac{17\pm427}{12}=\{-34\frac{1}{6},37\}

The width is 37 feet, so the length is ...

  6(37) -17 = 205 . . . feet

The length of the rectangle is 205 feet.

(a) Answer: One solution.

Explanation: two lines that have same slope with opposite sign will necessarily cross each other at a single point, as one is "pointing uphill" and the other "downhill."

(b)  Answer: Infinitely many solutions.

Explanation:

2x + 3y = 5.5

4x + 6y = 11   | divide by 2

-->

2x + 3y = 5.5

2x + 3y = 5.5

--> equations are identical.

2x + 3y = 2x + 3y

so any (x,y) will satisfy this equation. This means infinitely many solutions.

(c) Answer: One solution

Explanation:

Continuing the two lines it becomes obvious they will cross at one point (the solution)

(d) Answer: No solution

Explanation: If the two lines are parallel, they will never cross (by definition of "parallel"). Therefore there will be no solution to the corresponding linear system.

A construction company purchased some equipment costing $300,000. The value of the equipment depreciates
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

11.9\ years  

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The  formula to calculate the depreciated value  is equal to  

V=P(1-r)^{x}  

where  

V is the depreciated value  

P is the original value  

r is the rate of depreciation  in decimal  

x  is Number of Time Periods  

in this problem we have  

P=\$300,000\\r=14\%=14/100=0.14\\V=\$50,000

substitute the values and solve for x

50,000=300,000(1-0.14)^{x}  

(50,000/300,000)=(0.86)^{x}  

(5/30)=(0.86)^{x}  

Apply log both sides

log(5/30)=(x)log(0.86)  

x=log(5/30)/log(0.86)  

x=11.9\ years

1) If a die is rolled once, determine the probability of rolling a 4: Rolling a 4 is an event with 1 favorable outcome (a roll of 4) and the total number of possible outcomes is 6 (a roll of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6). Thus, the probability of rolling a 4 is \frac{1}{6}.

If a die is rolled once, determine the probability of rolling at least a 4: Rolling at least 4 is an event with 3 favorable outcomes (a roll of 4, 5, or 6) and the total number of possible outcomes is again 6. Thus, the probability of rolling at least a 4 is \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2}.

<h3>Here are two more examples: </h3>

If a coin is flipped twice, determine the probability that it will land heads both times:

Favorable outcomes: 1 -- HH

Possible outcomes: 4 -- HH, HT, TH, TT

Thus, the probability that the coin will land heads both times is \frac{1}{4}.

If Dan grabs one sock from a drawer containing 3 white socks, 4 blue socks, and 5 yellow socks, what is the probability that he will grab a white sock?

Favorable outcomes: 3 (3 white socks)

Possible outcomes: 12 (3 white socks + 4 blue socks + 5 yellow socks)

Thus, the probability that Dan will grab a white sock is \frac{3}{12} = \frac{1}{4}.
