Answer:

  6.5 ft wide by 8 ft long

Step-by-step explanation:

We can let x represent the width of the rectangle. Then the length is ...

  L = 2x -5

and the area is ...

  A = LW = (2x -5)(x) = 52

  2x² -5x -52 = 0 . . . . . put in standard form

  (2x -13)(x +4) = 0 . . . . factor

  x = 6.5, -4 . . . . . . . . . . values that make the factors zero

The length is then ...

  L = A/W = 52/6.5 = 8

or

  L = 2W -5 = 2(6.5) -5 = 13 -5 = 8

The rectangle is 6.5 feet wide and 8 feet long.

Alanah is picking up two friends to go to a concert. She drives from her house to pick up Mia, then she drives to pick up Teresa
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

Total distance = 30.3 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Coordinates for the location of Alanah, Mia, Teresa and Arena are,

Alanah → (2, 8)

Mia → (8, 16)

Teresa → (8, 2)

Arena → (14, 4)

Distance between two points (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2) is given by the formula,

d = \sqrt{(y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2-x_1)^2}

Distance between Alanah and Mia = \sqrt{(16-8)^2+(8-2)^2}

                                                          = \sqrt{100}

                                                          = 10 units

Distance between Mia and Teresa = \sqrt{(16-2)^2+(8-8)^2}

                                                          = 14 units

Distance between Teresa and Arena = \sqrt{(4-2)^2+(14-8)^2}

                                                              = \sqrt{40}

                                                              = 6.3 units

Total distance of Alanah's trip to Arena = 10 + 14 + 6.3

                                                                  = 30.3 units

A patient's total surgery charges are $1,278. The patient must pay the annual deductible of $1,000, and the policy states a 80-2
musickatia [10]

Answer:

The patient owe $1255.6 .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

A patient's total surgery charges are $1,278.

The patient must pay the annual deductible of $1,000.

The policy states a 80-20 coinsurance.  (i.e 20% of the surgery amount is given by the patient .)

20% is written in the decimal form .

= \frac{20}{100}

= 0.20

20% of patients surgery cost  =  0.20 ×  $1278

                                                 = $ 255.6

Patients owe = Deductible cost + 20% of patients surgery cost

                      = $1000 + $255.6

                      = $ 1255.6

Therefore the patient owe $1255.6 .

Determine the equation of the inverse of y = 1/4 x^3 - 2
stira [4]
<h3>Answer: y = \sqrt[3]{4x+8}</h3>

All of 4x+8 is under a cube root sign.

=====================================================

Work Shown:

To find the inverse, we swap x and y, then solve for y.

y = \frac{1}{4}x^3 - 2\\\\x = \frac{1}{4}y^3 - 2\\\\x+2 = \frac{1}{4}y^3\\\\4(x+2) = y^3\\\\4x+8 = y^3\\\\y^3 = 4x+8\\\\y = \sqrt[3]{4x+8}\\\\

------------

Side note:

If f(x) = \frac{1}{4}x^3 - 2 and g(x) = \sqrt[3]{4x+8}, then f(g(x)) = x and g(f(x)) = xfor all x values in the domain. Effectively, you use function composition to confirm that we have the correct inverse equation.

Of 900 centimeters. The table shows the height of each bounce.
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

  • <u><em>Rounding to nearest tenth of centimeter, the ball bounces 192.1 cm high on the 5th bounce.</em></u>

<u><em></em></u>

Explanation:

The <em>ball is dropped from a height of 900 centimeters</em>.

Since the heights form a <em>geometric sequence,</em> you can find a common ratio between consecutive terms. This is:

  • Height bounce 2 / height bounce 1 = 560 / 800 = 0.7
  • Height bound 3 / height bounce 2 = 392 / 560 = 0.7

Hence, the ratio of the geometric sequence is 0.7, and taking bounce 1 as the start of the sequence, the general term of the sequence is:

            a_n=800(0.7)^{n-1}

With that formula you can find any term:

             n=1,a_1=800(0.7)^{(1-1)}=800(0.7)^0=800\\ \\ n=2,a_{2}=800(0.7)^{(2-1)}=800(0.7)=560\\ \\n=5,a_{5}=800(0.7)^{(5-1)}=800(0.4)^4=192.08

Rounding to <em>nearest tenth of centimeter</em>, the ball bounces 192.1 cm high on the 5th bounce.
