Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The given relation between length and width can be used to write an expression for area. The equation setting that equal to the given area can be solved to find the shed dimensions.
__
<h3>Given relation</h3>
Let x represent the width of the shed. Then the length is (2x+3), and the area is ...
A = LW
20 = (2x+3)(x) . . . . . area of the shed
__
<h3>Solution</h3>
Completing the square gives ...
2x² +3x +1.125 = 21.125 . . . . . . add 2(9/16) to both sides
2(x +0.75)² = 21.125 . . . . . . . write as a square
x +0.75 = √10.5625 . . . . . divide by 2, take the square root
x = -0.75 +3.25 = 2.50 . . . . . subtract 0.75, keep the positive solution
The width of the shed is 2.5 feet; the length is 2(2.5)+3 = 8 feet.
Answer:
yes; 4² + 3² = 5²
Step-by-step explanation:
Pythagorean theorem.
In a right triangle the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. Hypotenuse is the longest side of the triangle.
4² + 3² = 5²
16 + 9 = 25
25 = 25
Profit made by jeweler from buying and reselling ounces of gold is 140.89 per ounce
<u>Solution:</u>
Given that
Price at which jeweler buy gold = 1235.55 per ounce
Price at which jeweler resells gold = 1376.44 per ounce
We need to calculate profit.
Buying price of 1 ounce of gold = 1235.55
Reselling price of 1 ounce of gold = 1376.44
<em>Profit = Reselling price – buying price</em>
So profit on 1 ounce of gold = 1376.44 – 1235.55 = 140.89
Hence profit made by Buying and Selling gold will be 140.89 per ounce
Answer:
$86.81
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the given formula, we want to compute A for ...
P = 4750
r = 0.2279
n = 365 . . . . . assuming "exact" interest
t = 1 or 30
For 1 day late:
A = 4750(1 +0.2279/365)^(365·(1/365)) = 4752.97
For 30 days late:
A = 4750(1 +0.2279/365)^(365·(30/365)) = 4839.78
The difference in these payment amounts is ...
$4839.78 -4752.97 = $86.81
You would save $86.81 in interest charges by paying only 1 day late.

<em>Comment on the question</em>
It would be a poor choice of credit card to use one that compounds interest daily. Most do so on a monthly basis.
