Answer:

the length is 8ft

the width is 3ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given

perimter= 22ft

let the length be x

width = x-5

Step two

the expression for the perimeter of a rectangle is

P=2L+2W

substituting our data

22= 2(x)+2(x-5)

open brackets

22=2x+2x-10

collect terms and solve for x

22+10=4x

32=4x

divide both sides by 4

x= 32/4

x= 8ft

the length is 8ft

the width = x-5= 8-5= 3ft

What is the product? Enter your answer as a fraction, in simplified form, in the box. −1/4⋅(−6/11)
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

3/22

Step-by-step explanation:

-1/4 . (-6/11)

  • You have to multiply the signs: As both are negative, the result will be positive.
  • You have to multiply the numbers in the top part (numerators) and the numbers in the bottom part (denominators)

1 . 6 / 4 . 11 = 6/44

  • Finally, you must simplify the answer by dividing both numbers among the same divisor, in this case the number is 2

6÷2 / 44÷2 = 3/22

Find all solutions to the equation. cos^2x + 2 cos x + 1 = 0
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

x = pi, 3pi, 5pi  etc

x = -pi, -3pi, -5pi etc

Step-by-step explanation:

cos^2 x + 2 cos x + 1 = 0

replace cos x with m

m^2 + 2m +1 = 0

solve by factoring  (this is a^2 +2ab+b^2 = (a+b)^2  where a =m and b=1)

(m+1)^2=0

take the square root of each side

m+1 =0

m=-1

now replace m with cos x

cos x = -1

take arccos  of each side

arccos cos x = arccos (-1)

x = pi, 3pi, 5pi  etc

What is the difference of the two polynomials? (9x2 + 8x) – (2x2 + 3x) 7x2 + 5x 7x2 + 11x 11x2 + 5x 11x2 + 11x
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

we have

(9x^{2}+8x)-(2x^{2}+3x)

Step 1

Eliminate the parenthesis

(9x^{2}+8x)-(2x^{2}+3x)=9x^{2}+8x-2x^{2}-3x

Step 2

Group terms that contain the same variable

9x^{2}-2x^{2}+8x-3x

Step 3

Combine like terms

7x^{2}+5x

therefore

the answer is

7x^{2}+5x
