Answer:

a) The polynomial for the perimeter of the rectangle is = 14a - 2b

b) 150

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The formula for the area of a rectangle is given as:

P = 2L + 2W

From the question:

The length of a rectangle = 4a+3b

The width of a rectangle = 3a-2b.

The Perimeter of the rectangle is

Perimeter = 2(4a + 3b) + 2(3a - 2b)

Perimeter = 8a + 6b + 6a - 4b

Perimeter = 8a + 6a + 6b - 4b

Perimeter = 14a - 2b

Hence:

The polynomial for the perimeter of the rectangle is = 14a - 2b

b) What is the minimum perimeter of the rectangle if a=12 and b is a non-zero whole number?

Non-zero whole number are single digit number such as: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

The perimeter of the rectangle is = 14a - 2b

We are asked to find the minimum perimeter of the rectangle if a=12 and b is a non-zero whole number.

In order to solve this, we would used the highest non zero whole number which is 9

Hence,

For a = 12 , b = 9

14 × 12 - 2(9)

= 168 - 18

= 150

Hence, the minimum perimeter of the rectangle if a=12 and b is a non-zero whole number is 150

Suppose approximately 75% of all marketing personnel are extroverts, whereas about 70% of all computer programmers are introvert

Setler [38]

Answer:

$P(x \ge 5) = 1.000$ ---- At least 5 from marketing departments are extroverts

$P(x=15) = 0.013$ ---- All from marketing departments are extroverts

$P(x = 0) = 0.002$ ---------- None from computer programmers are introverts

Step-by-step explanation:

See comment for complete question

The question is an illustration of binomial probability where

$P(x) = ^nC_x * p^x * (1 - p)^{n-x}$

$(a):\ P(x \ge 5)$

$n = 15$ --- marketing personnel

$p = 75\%$ --- proportion that are extroverts

Using the complement rule, we have:

$P(x \ge 5) = 1 - P(x < 5)$

So, we have:

$P(x < 5) =P(x = 0) + P(x = 1) + P(x = 2) + P(x = 3) + P(x = 4)$

$P(x = 0) = ^{15}C_{0} * (75\%)^0 * (1 - 75\%)^{15 - 0} = 1 * 1 * (0.25)^{15} = 9.31 * 10^{-10}$

$P(x = 1) = ^{15}C_{1} * (75\%)^1 * (1 - 75\%)^{15 - 1} = 15* (0.75)^1 * (0.25)^{14} = 4.19 * 10^{-8}$

$P(x = 2) = ^{15}C_{2} * (75\%)^2 * (1 - 75\%)^{15 - 2} = 105* (0.75)^2 * (0.25)^{13} = 8.80 * 10^{-7}$

$P(x = 3) = ^{15}C_{3} * (75\%)^3 * (1 - 75\%)^{15 - 3} = 455* (0.75)^2 * (0.25)^{12} = 0.0000153$

$P(x = 4) = ^{15}C_{4} * (75\%)^4 * (1 - 75\%)^{15 - 4} = 1365 * (0.75)^4 * (0.25)^{11} = 0.000103$

So, we have:

$P(x < 5) = (9.31 * 10^{-10}) + (4.19 * 10^{-8}) + (8.80 * 10^{-7}) + 0.0000153 + 0.000103$

$P(x < 5) = 0.00011922283$

Recall that:

$P(x \ge 5) = 1 - P(x < 5)$

$P(x \ge 5) = 1 - 0.00011922283$

$P(x \ge 5) = 0.9998$

$P(x \ge 5) = 1.000$ --- approximated

$(b)\ P(x = 15)$

$n = 15$ --- marketing personnel

$p = 75\%$ --- proportion that are extroverts

So, we have:

$P(x) = ^nC_x * p^x * (1 - p)^{n-x}$

$P(x=15) = ^{15}C_{15} * 0.75^{15} * (1 - 0.75)^{15-15}$

$P(x=15) = 1 * 0.75^{15} * (0.25)^{0$

$P(x=15) = 0.013$

$(c)\ P(x = 0)$

$n=5$ ---------- computer programmers

$p = 70\%$ --- proportion that are introverts

So, we have:

$P(x) = ^nC_x * p^x * (1 - p)^{n-x}$

$P(x = 0) = ^{5}C_0 * (70\%)^0 * (1 - 70\%)^{5-0}$

$P(x = 0) = 1 * 1 * (0.30)^5$

$P(x = 0) = 0.002$

Are You guys up for math?? Its 6th grade math though!! so are you ready?? l want help please.

katen-ka-za [31]

The ratio would be 4:1.

Try to reduce the ratio further with the greatest common factor (GCF).

The GCF of 64 and 16 is 16

Divide both terms by the GCF, 16:

64 ÷ 16 = 4

16 ÷ 16 = 1

The ratio 64 : 16 can be reduced to lowest terms by dividing both terms by the GCF = 16 :

64 : 16 = 4 : 1

Therefore:

64 : 16 = 4 : 1

Find the value of x. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

leva [86]

Answer:

Pythagorean Theorem:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

6^2 + b^2 = 12^2

36 + b^2 = 144

b^2 = 108

b = 10.4

Let me know if this helps!
