The area of a rectangle has decreased by 2%.

Mathematics

Answer:

The other side was decreased to approximately .89 times its original size, meaning it was reduced by approximately 11%

Step-by-step explanation:

We can start with the basic equation for the area of a rectangle:

l × w = a

And now express the changes described above as an equation, using "p" as the amount that the width is changed:

(l × 1.1) × (w × p) = a × .98

Now let's rearrange both of those equations to solve for a / l.  Starting with the first and easiest:

w = a/l

now the second one:

1.1l × wp = 0.98a

wp = 0.98a / 1.1l

1.1 wp / 0.98 = a/l

Now with both of those equalling a/l, we can equate them:

1.1 wp / 0.98 =  w

We can then divide both sides by w, eliminating it

1.1wp / 0.98w = w/w

1.1p / 0.98 = 1

And solve for p

1.1p = 0.98

p = 0.98 / 1.1

p ≈ 0.89

So the width is scaled by approximately 89%

We can double check that too.  Let's multiply that by the scaled length and see if we get the two percent decrease:

.89 × 1.1 = 0.979

That should be 0.98, and we're close enough.  That difference of 1/1000 is due to rounding the 0.98 / 1.1 to .89.  The actual result of that fraction is 0.89090909...  if we multiply that by 1.1, we get exactly .98.

Use the discriminant to describe the roots of each equation. Then select the best description. 2 = x2 + 5x. A) Double root B) Re
fredd [130]

\bf 2=x^2+5x\implies 0=x^2+5x-2\\\\\\\qquad \qquad \qquad \textit{discriminant of a quadratic}\\\\\\0=\stackrel{\stackrel{a}{\downarrow }}{1}x^2\stackrel{\stackrel{b}{\downarrow }}{+5}x\stackrel{\stackrel{c}{\downarrow }}{-2}~~~~~~~~\stackrel{discriminant}{b^2-4ac}=\begin{cases}0&\textit{one solution}\\positive&\textit{two solutions}\\negative&\textit{no solution}\end{cases}\\\\\\(5)^2-4(1)(-2)\implies 25+8\implies 33


so we have a 33, namely two real solutions for that quadratic.


usually that number goes into a √, if you have covered the quadratic formula, you'd see it there, namely that'd be equivalent to √(33), now 33 is a prime number, and √(33) is yields an irrational value, specifically because a prime number is indivisible other than by itself or 1.


so 33 can only afford us two real irrational roots.

Brianna rolls a number cube that has sides labeled 1 to 6 and flips a coin. Write the list of possible outcomes.
Gemiola [76]
The sample space is {(1,H), (1,T), (2,H), (2,T), (3,H), (3,T), (4,H), (4,T), (5,H), (5,T), (6,H), (6,T)}

On the number cube, she could roll any of the numbers from 1 to 6.  On the coin, she could flip heads or tails.

We want to find the zeros of this polynomial:<br> p(x)= 3x^3 – 3x^2– 18x
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

x=0   x=3   x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

p(x)= 3x^3 – 3x^2– 18x

Factor out the greatest common factor, 3x

p(x)= 3x (x^2 – x– 6)

Factor inside the parentheses

What 2 numbers multiplies to -6 and adds to -1

-3*2 = -6

-3+2 = -1

p(x)= 3x (x-3)(x+2)

Setting the function equal to zero to find the zeros

0 = 3x (x-3)(x+2)

Using the zero product property

3x = 0  x-3 =0   x+2 =0

x=0   x=3   x=-2
