Answer:

100°

Step-by-step explanation:

Anders Celsius used centigrade temperature scale along with mercury thermometers with a fixed boiling point of water at zero, he also used a fixed freezing point of water at the mark of 100-degree. This new scale was described in the year 1742 to Swedish Academy of Sciences.

Jacob and Ali want to run from one corner of a football field to the opposite corner. The rectangular football field is 50 yards
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

Jacob ran 40 yards more than Ali.

Step-by-step explanation:

Football field is in the shape of a rectangle having dimensions 120 yards × 50 yards

Since Jacob runs around the perimeter of the field from one corner to other corner, therefore, distance run by Jacob = (\text{Length+width})

Distance run by Jacob = 50 + 120 = 170 yards

Ali runs through the middle of the field diagonally on a straight line.

Therefore, distance covered by Ali = \sqrt{\text{length}^{2}+\text{width}^{2}}

= \sqrt{(50)^{2}+(120)^{2}}

= \sqrt{2500+14400}

= \sqrt{16900}

= 130 yards

Now difference between the distance covered by Jacob and Ali

= 170 - 130

= 40 yards

Therefore, Jacob ran 40 yards more than Ali.

-8 -8x + 10 + 6x = 19
hram777 [196]

Answer:

x = -8.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's rearrange the question to find x :)

-8x + 6x + 10 - 8 = 19

-2x + 2 = 19

-2             -2

-2x = 17

/-2      /-2

x = -8.5

Prove that for any natural n the number 3^(n+4)−3^n is divisible by 16.
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

Proved (See Explanation)

Step-by-step explanation:

Show that 3ⁿ⁺⁴ - 3ⁿ is divisible by 16.

This is done as follows

\frac{3^{n+4} - 3^n}{16}

From laws of indices;

aᵐ⁺ⁿ = aᵐ * aⁿ.

So, 3ⁿ⁺⁴ can be written as 3ⁿ * 3⁴.

\frac{3^{n+4} - 3^n}{16} becomes

\frac{3^n * 3^4 - 3^n}{16}

Factorize

\frac{3^n(3^4 - 1)}{16}

\frac{3^n(81 - 1)}{16}

\frac{3^n(80)}{16}

3ⁿ * 5

5(3ⁿ)

<em>The expression can not be further simplified.</em>

<em>However, we can conclude that when 3ⁿ⁺⁴ - 3ⁿ is divisible by 16, because 5(3ⁿ) is a natural whole number as long as n is a natural whole number.</em>

If the length of a rectangle is a two-digit number with identical digits and the width is 1/10 the length and the perimeter is 2
Oksanka [162]

If the length of a rectangle is a two-digit number with identical digits and the width is 1/10 the length and the perimeter is 2 times the area of the rectangle, what is the the length and the width

Solution:

Let the length of rectangle=x

Width of rectangle=x/10

Perimeter is 2(Length+Width)

= 2(x+x/10)

Area of Rectangle= Length* Width=x*x/10

As, Perimeter=2(Area)

So,2(x+x/10)=2(x*x/10)

Multiplying the equation with 10, we get,

2(10x+x)=2x²

Adding Like terms, 10x+x=11x

2(11x)=2x^2

22x=2x²

2x²-22x=0

2x(x-11)=0

By Zero Product property, either x=0

or, x-11=0

or, x=11

So, Width=x/10=11/10=1.1

Checking:

So, Perimeter=2(Length +Width)=2(11+1.1)=2*(12.1)=24.2

Area=Length*Width=11*1.1=12.1

Hence, Perimeter= 2 Area

As,24.2=2*12.1=24.2

So, Perimeter=2 Area

So, Answer:Length of Rectangle=11 units

Width of Rectangle=1.1 units
