Answer:

  a) w(4w-15)

  b) w²

  c) w(4w -15) = w²

  d) w = 5

  e) 5 by 5

Step-by-step explanation:

a) If w is the width, and the length is 15 less than 4 times the width, then the length is 4w-15. The area is the product of length and width.

  A = w(4w -15)

__

b) If w is the side length, the area of the square is (also) the product of length and width:

  A = w²

__

c) Equating the expressions for area, we have ...

  w(4w -15) = w²

__

d) we can subtract the right side to get ...

  4w² -15w -w² = 0

  3w(w -5) = 0

This has solutions w=0 and w=5. Only the positive solution is sensible in this problem.

The side length of the square is 5 units.

__

e) The rectangle is 5 units wide, and 4(5)-15 = 5 units long.

The rectangle and square have the same width and the same area, so the rectangle must be a square.

A cooler contains ten bottles of sports drink: four lemon-lime flavored, three orange-flavored, and three fruit-punch flavored.
Alika [10]

Since there are a total of 10 bottles, the probability of getting a certain one is based on the number of those bottles in the cooler.

The probability of getting a lemon-lime flavored drink is 4/10 or 40%.

The probability of getting a orange flavored drink is 3/10 or 30%

The probability of getting a fruitpunch flavored drink is also 3/10 or 30%.

If the question is asking what the probability is of choosing lemon-lime, fruit punch and fruit punch again in that order, you would multiply the probabilities together.

.4 * .3 * .3 = .036, so there’s a 3.6% chance of picking these exact 3 flavors happening again.

I need help finding domain and range
kow [346]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • domain: [2, 6]
  • range: [6, 18]

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain is the horizontal extent of the graph. When end points are involved, you have to be able to tell if they are included in the function definition, or not. Here, the solid dots mean both end points are included.

The graph extends horizontally from 2 to 6. You read this from the "x" scale at the bottom. As an inequality, the domain is written ...

  2 ≤ x ≤ 6

In interval notation, it is [2, 6]. Square brackets are used to indicate the end point values are included.

__

The range is the vertical extent of the graph. This one extends from y=6 to y=18. You read this from the "f(x)" scale on the left. The range can be written as ...

  6 ≤ y ≤ 18

  [6, 18]
