Answer:

The dimensions of the iphone are 2 inches by 7 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The dimensions of an iPhone are x – 2 and x + 3.

The area of an iphone is 14 sq inches

We need to find the dimensions of the iPhone. It is in the shape of a rectangle. Its area is given by :

$A=l\times b\\\\(x-2)(x+3)=14\\\\x^2-2x+3x-6=14\\\\x^2+x-6-14=0\\\\x^2+x-20=0\\\\x^2+5x-4x-20=0\\\\x(x+5)-4(x+5)=0\\\\(x-4)(x+5)=0\\\\x=4\ and\ x=-5$

Neglecting negative value

First dimension = (x-2) = (4-2) = 2 inches

Other dimension = (x+3) = (4+3) = 7 inches

Hence, the dimensions of the iphone are 2 inches by 7 inches.

How do you do solve this problem

Damm [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1cm = 10mm

Therefore 8cm = 8 · 10mm = 80mm

The scale of the model

$\dfrac{model}{real}\to\dfrac{80}{0.43}=\dfrac{80\cdot100}{0.43\cdot100}=\dfrac{8000}{43}\approx186$

In 2009, a town's population was about 9,000 residents. In 2014, the population was about 12,500 residents. Which linear model r

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

The linear function that discribes the size of the population in function of the t in years is p = 700t - 1,397,300

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear function is defined by a line, so in order to determine the linear function we can use the two points that were given to us to create a line equation and use that as our linear function. The points given to us were (2009; 9000) and (2014; 12500), in this case the year is our value of "x" and the size of the population is our value of "y". The first step is to find the slope of the line which is given by:

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (12500 -9000)/(2014 - 2009) = 3500/5 = 700

Then we can use the slope and the first point to build the equation:

p - 9000 = 700*(t - 2009)

p = 700t - 1406300 + 9000

p = 700t - 1397300
