Answer: To determine Rocco´s weight jake must use this expression

  • p = 55 - 0.5 w

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi to solve this problem we have to analyze the information given:

  • Rocco´s initial weight: 55 pounds
  • Pounds lost per week: 0.5 pounds  

So, we have to write an equation where p is Rocco's weight after w weeks.

Each week Rocco will lose 0.5 pounds so the expression is 0.5w, where w is the number of weeks.

Mathematically speaking:

  • p = 55 - 0.5 w

By replacing w by the number of weeks, Jake will obtain Rocco´s weight.

For example, if the number of weeks is 20:

p= 55-0.5x 10

p= 55 - 20

p= 35

After 20 weeks Rocco will lose 10 pounds.

Answer:

  • \cfrac{991\sqrt{2} }{80}

Step-by-step explanation:

For a start simplify each of the roots:

  • \sqrt{72} =\sqrt{36*2} =6\sqrt{2}
  • \sqrt{50} =\sqrt{25*2} =5\sqrt{2}
  • \sqrt{128} =\sqrt{64*2} =8\sqrt{2}
  • \sqrt{98} =\sqrt{49*2} =7\sqrt{2}

Now simplify the expression in steps:

\sqrt{72}-\cfrac{48}{\sqrt{50} }  -\cfrac{45}{\sqrt{128} }  +2\sqrt{98} =

6\sqrt{2}-\cfrac{48}{5\sqrt{2} }  -\cfrac{45}{8\sqrt{2} }  +2*7\sqrt{2} =

6\sqrt{2}-\cfrac{48*8+45*5}{5*8\sqrt{2} }  +14\sqrt{2} =

20\sqrt{2}-\cfrac{609}{40\sqrt{2} } =

20\sqrt{2}-\cfrac{609*\sqrt{2} }{40\sqrt{2} *\sqrt{2} } =

20\sqrt{2}-\cfrac{609\sqrt{2} }{40*2 } =

20\sqrt{2}-\cfrac{609\sqrt{2} }{80 } =

\sqrt{2} (20-7\cfrac{49}{80} )=

\sqrt{2} *12\cfrac{31}{80} =

\cfrac{991\sqrt{2} }{80}

The length of a rectangle is 4 centimeters more than twice its width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 86 centimeters , find
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
P = perimeter = 2L + 2W = 86 cm.  Also, L = W + 4.  Subst. W + 4 for L, 

P = 2(W + 4) + 2W = 86 cm.  Then 2W + 8 + 2W = 86 cm, and 4W = 78 cm.

Finally solving for W, W = (78 cm)/4, or 19.5 cm.

If W = 19.5 cm, then L = W + 4 cm = 19.5 cm + 4 cm = 23.5 cm

The rectangle's dimensions are 19.5 cm by 23.5 cm.

The dimensions of a triangular prism are shown below what is the volume of the prism in cubic feet
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

B. 192.5 ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the volume of a triangle prism, multiply the base, height, and length together, and then divide it by 2 (or multiply that by 0.5).

(5 * 7 * 11)/2

Multiply 5 by 7 to get 35.

(35 * 11)/2

Multiply 35 by 11 to get 385.

385/2

192.5 ft³ is the volume of this triangluar prism.
