Answer: x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is the length times the width. Since the dimensions are given as functions of x, youre going to have to use FOIL to combine them, then set that answer equal to the given value of 72.

l*w = (x+3)*(x+4) = x^2 + 7x +12 = 72

Subtract 72 on both sides. There is a reason why we'll do this instead of subtracting 12. The quadratic formula will help us to solve for x.

x^2 + 7x - 60 = 0

Apply the quadratic formula

\frac{-7 (+/-)\sqrt{7^2-(4)*(1)*(-60} }{2*1} =\frac{-7(+/-)17}{2}

We cant have a negative x value because that would result in negative dimensions and a negative area, which is impossible in this context. So you want to add the 17 instead of subtracting it.

x = 5 and x = -12

An alternate way is just factoring the trinomial to:

(x+12)(x-5) = 0

Find the 11th term of the following geometric sequence.<br> 2, 8, 32, 128, ...
Hitman42 [59]
The 11th term is 2, 095, 152


Explanation:
This is a geometric sequence, since each term after the first is obtained by multiplying a common ratio,
r
.
The common ratio is

Verify which of the following are identities.
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

Only the second equation is an identity

Step-by-step explanation:

$8 \frac{\tan^2(\theta)}{\sec(\theta)} \csc^2(\theta)=8 \csc(\theta)$

<u>Note that </u>

\tan^2(\theta)\csc^2(\theta)=\sec^2(\theta)

<u>You can confirm it: </u>

$\frac{\sin^2(\theta)}{\cos^2(\theta)}\cdot    \frac{1}{\sin^2(\theta)}= \frac{1}{cos^2(\theta)}= \sec^2(\theta)$

<u>Therefore</u>

$8 \frac{\sec^2(\theta)}{\sec(\theta)} =8 \csc(\theta)$

$8 \frac{\sec(\theta)}{1} =8 \csc(\theta)$

8\sec(\theta)=8\csc(\theta)

<h2>It is not an Identity</h2>

<u>Let's the second one</u>

$13 \frac{\tan^2(\theta)}{\sec(\theta)} \csc^2(\theta)=13\sec(\theta)$

In this case, we already performed the calculations, so it is true. It is an Identity.

How many 2/3 's make up 4 1/5
miskamm [114]

Answer:

6³/₁₀

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of bits = Total amount/Size of each bit

                         = (4⅕)/(⅔)

Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction

No. = (²¹/₅)/(⅔)

Invert the denominator and change division to multiplication

No. = ²¹/₅ × ³/₂

Multiply numerators and denominators.

No. = ⁶³/₁₀

Convert the improper fraction to a mixed number.

No. = 6³/₁₀

It takes 6³/₁₀ ⅔s to make up 4⅕.
