Answer:

2009cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

let the length be L

and the width be w

w= x

L=x+8

P= 180cm

P= 2L+2W

180= 2(x+8)+2(x)

180= 2x+16+2x

collect like terms

180= 4x+16

180-16= 4x

164= 4x

x= 164/4

x=41

W= 41cm

L= 41+8

L= 49cm

A= L*W

A=49*41

A=2009cm^2

Hence the area is 2009cm^2

Factorise the following algebraic expressions completely a. y4 −81 . x2 +10x +24

Ludmilka [50]

$y^4-81=(y^2-9)(y^2+9)=(y-3)(y+3)(y^2+9)\\\\
x^2 +10x +24 =x^2+10x+25-1=(x+5)^2-1=(x+5-1)(x+5+1)=(x+4)(x+6)$

Which equation shows the quadratic formula used correctly to solve 7x2 = 9+ x for x?

____ [38]

Answer:

x = (1 + sqrt(253))/14 or x = (1 - sqrt(253))/14

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

7 x^2 = x + 9

Subtract x + 9 from both sides:

7 x^2 - x - 9 = 0

x = (1 ± sqrt((-1)^2 - 4×7 (-9)))/(2×7) = (1 ± sqrt(1 + 252))/14 = (1 ± sqrt(253))/14:

Answer: x = (1 + sqrt(253))/14 or x = (1 - sqrt(253))/14

Is the mean age at which American children learn to walk less than 15 months? A study of 40 American children found a mean walki

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

We define the random variable X as the walking age and we are interested if American children learn to walk less than 15 months so then that would be the alternative hypothesis and the complement would be the null hypothesis.

Null hypothesis: $\mu \geq 15$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu$

And for this case the best answer would be:

H 0 : μ ≥ 15 vs. Ha : μ < 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Null hypothesis: $\mu \geq 15$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu$

And for this case the best answer would be:

H 0 : μ ≥ 15 vs. Ha : μ < 15

And the data given from the sample is:

$\bar X = 13.2$ represent the sample mean

$\sigma$ represent the population deviation

$n = 40$ represent the sample size

And the statistic would be given by:

$z = \frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

The aspect of geography that examines physical characteristics of the Earth is known as ______________.

antoniya [11.8K]

<span>The aspect of geography that examines physical characteristics of the Earth is known as physical geography. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the third option or option "C".

Number of people in the year 2010 = 308.7 million
Number of people in the year 2000 = 281.4 million
Number of people by which the population grew = (308.7 - 281.4) million
= 27.3 million
Percentage of change in the population = (27.3/308.7) * 100
= 8.84 percent.
