Answer:

3 ft by 8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We were given the area as 24 square feet which means that

L×w= 24....eqn(1)

We were given the perimeter as 22 square feet which means that

22= 2(L +w).......eqn(2)

If we divide both cause by 2 in eqn(2) we have

11= L+ w .....eqn(3)

W= 11-L.........eqn(4)

Substitute eqn(4 into eqn(1)

L× (11-L)=24

-L^2 +11L-24=0

If we factorize

(L-8)(L-3)

L=3 or 8

From eqn4)

W=11-L

At L=3

W=11-3=8

Hence, the dimension is 3 ft by 8 ft

How many times longer is the wavelength of a sound wave with a frequency of 20 waves per second than the wavelength of a sound w
sergejj [24]

The sound wave with a <u>frequency of 20</u> waves/sec is 800 longer than the wavelength of a sound wave with a <u>frequency of 16,000</u> waves/sec

<h3>Calculating wavelength </h3>

From the question, we are to determine how many times longer is the first sound wave compared to the second sound water

Using the formula,

v = fλ

∴ λ = v/f

Where v is the velocity

f is the frequency

and λ is the wavelength

For the first wave

f = 20 waves/sec

Then,

λ₁ = v/20

For the second wave

f = 16,000 waves/sec

λ₂ = v/16000

Then,

The factor by which the first sound wave is longer than the second sound wave is

λ₁/ λ₂ = (v/20) ÷( v/16000)

= (v/20) × 16000/v)

= 16000/20

= 800

Hence, the sound wave with a <u>frequency of 20</u> waves/sec is 800 longer than the wavelength of a sound wave with a <u>frequency of 16,000</u> waves/sec

Which statement is true? The function is only increasing when x ≥ −8. The function is only increasing when x ≥ 0. The function i
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

THE FUNCTION IS ALWAYS INCREASING.

Complete question: The graph of f(x)= power of 3√x + 8 is shown.

Step-by-step explanation:

See attachment for the missing graph.

when x = -16 ; y = -2

when x = -12 ; y = -1.5

when x = -8 ; y = 0

when x = -6 ; y = 1.25

when x = 0 ; y = 2

when x = 6 ; y = 2.5

As the value of x increases, so does the value of y. Thus, the function is always increasing.
