Area of Big Rectangle Area of Small Rectangle

A = L x w A = L x w

= (25 + 2w)(10 + 2w) = 25 x 10

= 250 + 50w + 20w + 4w² = 250

Big - Small

74 = 250 + 70w + 4w² - 250

74 = 4w² + 70w

0 = 4w² + 70w - 74

= 2(2w² + 35w - 37)

= 2[2w² -2w | +37w - 37]

= 2[2w(w - 1) | +1(w - 1)]

= 2(2w + 1)(w - 1)

0 = 2 0 = 2w + 1 0 = w - 1

FALSE so disregard w = -1/2 w = 1

NEGATIVE so disregard

Vincent works 8 hours a day for 5 days. How much does he earn at the rate of $.97 per hour?

Tresset [83]

Answer:

$38.8

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find how much money he gets paid in a day. Multiply 8 x .97, which equals $7.76. Then, multiply $7.76 x 5 to see how much he gets paid in 5 days. $7.76 x 5= $38.8

Hope this helps!

What is a true statement about negative exponents?

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

Raising something to a negative exponent is just taking the reciprocal of the amount.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume that you wanted to know what $x^{-2}$ is.

To find it, you would take the reciprocal of the x amount. So $x^{-2}$ becomes $\frac{1}{x^{2}}$ .

This works because of the nature of exponents. Exponents represent the number of times you are multiplying a value by itself. So $a^{3}$ would be equal to a · a · a. To increase the exponent, you increase the number of times the value is multiplied by itself: To increase $a^{3}$ to $a^{5}$ , you would have to multiply a with $a^{3}$ two more times (a · a · a · a · a). To decrease the exponent, you must divide the value by itself. So to decrease $a^{5}$ to $a^{2}$ , you would have to divide $a^{5}$ by a 3 times.

If the exponent is 0, the value is equal to 1. But you can still decrease the exponent into negative numbers. You just divide 1 by a the desired amount of times: $\frac{1}{a^{3}}$ means that you are dividing 1 by a 3 times.

Hope this helps.

You are saving money for a summer camp that costs $1800. You have saved $500 so far, and you have 14 more weeks to save the tota

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

$92.86

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it's AT LEAST 1800, the inequality sign would be ≥ 1800

Equation:

500 + 14x ≥ 1800

14x ≥ 1800 - 500

14x ≥ 1300

x ≥ 92.86

About 16 % of the population of a large country is allergic to pollen. If two people are randomly selected, what is the probabil

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

(a) 0.0256

(b) 0.2944

Step-by-step explanation:

For solving this exercise we can apply the binomial distribution. The equation that give as the probability is:

$P(x,n,p)=(nCx)*p^{x} *(1-p)^{n-x}$

Where n is the number of identical events, p is the probability that the event has a success and x is the number of success in the n identical events.

Additionally, nCx is calculated as:

$nCx=\frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

So, in this case we have 2 identical events because we are going to select two people randomly and the probability p of success is the probability that the person is allergic to pollen and this probability is 16%.

Then, for the first case, x is 2 because their are asking for the probability that both are allergic to pollen. Replacing the values of x, n and p we get:

$P(2,2,0.16)=(2C2)*0.16^{2} *(1-0.16)^{2-2}$

P(2,2,0.16)=0.0256

For the second case, their are asking for the probability that at least one is allergic to pollen, that means that we need to sum the probability that both are allergic to pollen with the probability that just one is allergic to pollen.

Using the same equation to calculate P(1,2,0.16) we get:

$P(1,2,0.16)=(2C1)*0.16^{1} *(1-0.16)^{2-1}$

P(1,2,0.16)=0.2688

So, the probability that at least one person is allergic to pollen is 0.2944 and it is calculated as:

0.0256 + 0.2688 = 0.2944
