Answer:

The width of the is 4 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that the width of the frame is x

∵ The width of the fame is x inches

→ That means each dimension will increase by 2x ⇒ x from each side

∵ The portrait has dimensions of 30“ x 60“

∴ Its dimensions including the frame = (30 + 2x) × (60 + 2x)

∴ The total area of the portrait plus frame = (30 + 2x)(60 + 2x)

→ Multiply the brackets

∵ (30 + 2x)(60 + 2x) = 30(60) + 30(2x) + 2x(60) + (2x)(2x)

∴ (30 + 2x)(60 + 2x) = 1800 + 60x + 120x + 4x²

→ Add the like terms

∴ (30 + 2x)(60 + 2x) = 1800 + 180x + 4x²

∴ The total area of the portrait plus frame = 4x² + 180x + 1800

∵ The total area of the portrait plus frame = 2584 square inches

→ Equate the two right sides of the area

∴ 4x² + 180x + 1800 = 2584

→ Subtract 2584 from both sides

∴ 4x² + 180x + 1800 - 2584 = 0

→ Add the like terms in the left side

∴ 4x² + 180x - 784 = 0

→ Divide all terms by 4 to simplify

∴ x² + 45x - 196 = 0

→ Factorize it to find the value of x

∵ x² + 45x - 196 = (x - 4)(x + 49)

→ Equate the right side by 0

∴ (x - 4)(x + 49) = 0

→ Equate each factor by 0

∵ x - 4 = 0  

→ Add 4 to both sides to find x

∴ x = 4

∵ x + 49 = 0

→ Subtract 49 from both sides to find x

∴ x = -49 ⇒ refused it x can not be -ve (no negative dimensions)

∴ The width of the is 4 inches

As a lifeguard, sara earns a base pay of $80 per day. if her day involves swim instruction, sara earns an additional 9t dollars,
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Sara's base pay is $80

(a) The 9t represents the additional amount of money that she earns if she gives instruction for t hours. 9 stands for $9 per hour

b)The term in the expression is t which stands for the number of hours that she instructs. The coefficient is 9 which stands for the hourly rate

c) The expression for 7 hours would be

We will substitute t into 80 + 9t. It becomes

80 + 9×7

d) in all, she will earn

80 + 9×7 = $143

2, 6, 10, 15, ...<br><br> O Arithmetic<br> O Geometric<br> O Neither<br> 
natima [27]

Given:

The sequence is:

2, 6, 10, 15,...

To find:

Whether the given sequence is Arithmetic, Geometric, Neither.

Solution:

We have,

2, 6, 10, 15,...

Different between consecutive terms are:

6-2=4

10-6=4

15-10=5

Since 4\neq 5, therefore the given sequence has no common difference. It means it is not an arithmetic sequence.

Ratio of consecutive terms are:

\dfrac{6}{2}=3

\dfrac{10}{6}=\dfrac{5}{3}

Since 3\neq \dfrac{5}{3}, therefore the given sequence has no common ratio. It means it is not a geometric sequence.

Since the given sequence is neither arithmetic nor geometric, therefore the correct option is C.
