Answer:

17.5 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given

The perimeter of a rectangle is 53 inches

let the two shorter sides be the width w

so w+w= 18in

the two longer sides is L

L+L=2l

Step two:

but the expression for the perimeter of a rectangle is

P=2W+2L

53= 18+2L

53-18=2L

35=2L

divide both sides by 1

L=35/2

L=17.5

Write the quadratic function in vertex form, then identify the vertex
34kurt

Answer:

vertex = (- 10, - 10 )

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a quadratic in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k ) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

To obtain this form use the method of completing the square.

Given

h(x) = x² + 20x + 90

add/subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term )²

h(x) = x² + 2(10)x + 100 - 100 + 90

      = (x + 10)² - 10 ← in vertex form

with (h, k ) = (- 10, - 10 )

You are biking at a speed of 18 miles per hour. You are 3 miles behind your friend who is biking at a speed of
labwork [276]

Answer:

12t -3 = 18t

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

d = your friends distance in miles

t = time in hrs

Your equation:

d - 3 = 18t (1)

Because you are 3 miles behind your friend

Your Friend's equation:

d = 12t (2)

To find the amount of time t it takes for you to catch up with your friend,

Substitute (2) into (1)

d - 3 = 18t

12t - 3 = 18t

Equation to find the amount of time t it takes for you to catch up to your friend is 12t - 3 = 18t

Solving the equation

12t - 3 = 18t

Collect like terms

12t - 18t = 3

-6t = 3

t = 3/-6

= -0.5

t = 1/2 hour

Time can not be negative, therefore it will take 1/2 an hour to catch up with your friend

ella [17]

Answer:

The standard deviation of the sampling distribution of x overbarx​, denoted sigma Subscript x overbarσx​, is called the​ standard error of the mean . The standard deviation of the sampling distribution of x overbarx​, denoted sigma Subscript x overbarσx​, is called the standard distribution of the sample.

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard error (SE) of a statistic is the standard deviation of its sampling distribution or an estimate of that standard deviation. It is called the standard error of the mean (SEM) if the parameter or the statistic is the mean.
