the length of a rectangle is 2 inches longer than twice its width. If the area of the rectangle is 24 square inches, what are th

e dimensions?
Mathematics

gregori [183]3 years ago

Answer:

The length is 8 inches and the width is 3 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w represent the width.

The length can be represented by 2w + 2

Use the area formula, A = lw, and plug in the area and the expressions for the length and width:

A = lw

24 = (2w + 2)(w)

Simplify and solve for w:

24 = 2w² + 2w

2w² + 2w - 24

Divide everything by 2:

w² + w - 12

Factor:

(w + 4)(w - 3)

Set equal to 0 and solve for each factor:

w + 4 = 0

w = -4

w - 3 = 0

w = 3

Since the width cannot be negative, the width has to be 3.

Next, find the length by plugging in 3 as w:

2w + 2

2(3) + 2

= 8

So, the length is 8 inches and the width is 3 inches

the eccentricity of a hyperbola is defined as e=c/a. find an equation with vertices (1,-3) and (-3,-3) and e=5/2
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

\frac{(x + 1 )^{2} }{4} - \frac{(y + 3 )^{2} }{21} = 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

If (α, β) are the coordinates of the center of the hyperbola, then its equation of the hyperbola is \frac{(x - \alpha )^{2} }{a^{2} } - \frac{(y - \beta )^{2} }{b^{2} } = 1.

Now, the vertices of the hyperbola are given by (α ± a, β) ≡ (1,-3) and (-3,-3)

Hence, β = - 3 and α + a = 1 and α - a = -3

Now, solving those two equations of α and a we get,  

2α = - 2, ⇒ α = -1 and

a = 1 - α = 2.

Now, eccentricity of the hyperbola is given by b^{2} = a^{2}(e^{2}  - 1) = 4[(\frac{5}{2} )^{2} -1] = 21 {Since e = \frac{5}{2} given}

Therefore, the equation of the given hyperbola will be  

\frac{(x + 1 )^{2} }{4} - \frac{(y + 3 )^{2} }{21} = 1. (Answer)
