Think of it like an equation: (w = width, l = length)

5 = 2w - l
lw = 150

l = 150 / w
5 = 2w - (150/w)
5w = 2w^2 - 150
2w^2 - 5w - 150 = 0            <- you can see this is now a quadratic equation

w = (-b^2 + sqrt(b^2 - 4ac))/2a
w = 10

width = 10

Prove that (2n+1)^2 - (2n+1)^2 is a multiple of 8 for all positive integer values of n
kogti [31]

Answer:

(2n + 1)[(2n + 1) � 1]

(2n + 1)(2n + 1 � 1)

(2n + 1)(2n), or 2n(2n + 1)

2n is an EVEN NUMBER, and adding 1 to an even number creates an ODD number

Therefore, 2n(2n+1)=EVEN NUMBER ODD NUMBER=EVEN NUMBER

Katie is going to a carnival and received $50 from her mother to spend. At the carnival, entry costs $12.00 and ride tickets cos
nlexa [21]

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Your question isn't complete but I believe that you want to know the number of rides that Katie can take.

Based on the information in the question, we can form an equation. Let the number of rides that Katie can take be represented by x. Therefore,

12 + (1.25 × x) = 50

12 + 1.25x = 50

1.25x = 50 - 12

1.25x = 38

x = 38/1.25

x = 30.4

Therefore, Katie can take at most 30 rides.

The model shows the expression 20 + 16. Which expression is equivalent to this sum?
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

4(5+4)

Step-by-step explanation:

4(5+4) equals 36, and 20 + 16 equals 36 as well, so therefore 20 + 16 is equivalent to 4(5+4)

Identify the function as exponential growth or decay. y = a * (8/5) ^ 0
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

We conclude that the function represents exponential growth.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function

y=a\left(\frac{8}{5}\right)^t

As the function is of the form

  • y=abˣ

and base 'b' > 1

We know that when the base 'b' of the exponential function > 1, meaning those numbers will get bigger, we call it exponential growth.

As b=8/5 is bigger than 1.

i.e. 8/5 > 1

Thus, we conclude that the function represents exponential growth.
