For this case we have that the perimeter of the figure is given by the sum of the lengths of the sides, that is:
Thus, the perimeter of the figure is 64 centimeters.
Now, we find the area of the figure:
We have that by definition, the area of a rectangle is given by:
Where:
a and b are the sides of the rectangle
We have 4 vertical rectangles from left to right:
Thus, the total area is
Answer:
The perimeter of the figure is 64 centimeters.
It takes about 4 days for the temperature to decrease by 9°F.
An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more variables or numbers.
Let x represent the number of days. Given that the temperature drop decreased by 1 1/2°F each day (- 1 1/2), for it to decrease by 9°F (-9):
-1 1/2 * x = -9
-1.5x = - 9
x = 4 days
It takes about 4 days for the temperature to decrease by 9°F.
Start with the general formula. The key word is difference. So the general formula is
D(x) = W(x) - R(x) Now substitute in the values for W(x) and R(x)
D(x) = 0.002x^3 - 0.01x^2 - (x^2 - 4x + 13) Be very careful about the sign in front of the brackets.
D(x) = 0.002x^3 - 0.01x^2 - x^2 + 4x - 13 Do you see what that minus sign did? It affected all 3 terms.
D(x) = 0.002x^3 - 1.01x^2 + 4x - 13 <em>Note: -0.01 - 1x^2 = - 1.01 x^2</em>
That gives you a clear cut answer
C<<<<< answer.
That sign is the worst part of the question. Make sure you understand what it did.
