Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

the length of a rectangle is 7 feet less than three times it’s width. if the area of the rectangle is 180 ft, find the dimensions of the rectangle.

Width = x

Length = 3x - 7

Area of a rectangle = length × width

180 = (3x - 7) * x

180 = 3x² - 7x

3x² - 7x - 180 = 0

Using quadratic formula

a = 3

b = -7

c = -180

x = -b ± √b² - 4ac / 2a

x = -(-7) ± √(-7)² - 4(3)(-180) / 2(3)

x = 7 ± √49 - (-2160) / 6

= 7 ± √49 + 2160 / 6

x = 7 ± √2209/6

= 7 ± 47 / 6

= (7 + 47)/6 or ( 7 - 47)/6

= 54/6 or -40/6

x = 9 or -6.67

x cannot be negative

Therefore,

x = 9 ft

Width = x = 9 ft

Length = 3x - 7

=3(9) - 7

= 27 - 7

= 20 ft

A discount store takes 50% off of the retail price of a desk. For the store's holiday sale, it takes an additional 20% off of al
Serhud [2]

We are given the retail price of desk as $320. The store takes 50% off of the retail price of desk, then its price would become half of the original.

So its new price would be $160.

Now it says that it takes an additional 20% off of all furniture on store's holiday sale. So we need to cut off 20% from new price $160.

Holiday discount = 20% of $160 = 0.2 × 160 = 32.

Final selling price would be = $160 - $32 = $128.

So $128 is the final answer.

Let f(x)=2x-1 and g(x)=x^2 -3. Find (f o g)(-3)
anzhelika [568]
(f o g)(-3) = (f(g(-3))
Because g is on the inside, we carry out g first.

g(x) = x^2 - 3
Substitute -3 in for x.
g(-3) = (-3)^2 - 3 = 9 - 3 = 6
g(-3) = 6

Next, carry out f on the result of g(-3)
f(6) = 2(6) - 1
      = 12 - 1
      = 11
So the answer is 11.
