Answer:

The length of the plywood diagonal is 4.387\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> the length of the rectangle

y----> the width of the rectangle

we know that

The diagonal of rectangle is equal to

d=\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2} } -----> equation A

d=y+3 ----> equation B

x=3y -----> equation C

substitute equation C and equation B in equation A and solve for y

(y+3)=\sqrt{(3y)^{2}+y^{2}}

squared both sides

(y+3)^{2}=10y^{2}\\ \\y^{2}+6y+9=10y^{2}\\ \\9y^{2}-6y-9=0

Solve the quadratic equation by graphing

The solution is y=1.387\ units

see the attached figure

Find the value of d

d=y+3----- > d=1.387+3=4.387\ units

Simplify x to the 1/3 power (x to the 1/2 power + 2x to the 2 power )
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

x^(5/6) + 4(x^(7/3))


Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify x to the 1/3 power MULTIPLIED BY (x to the 1/2 power + 2x to the 2 power )


Simplify x^(1/3) × (x^(1/2) + (2x)^2)

= x^(1/3)(x^(1/2)) + x^(1/3)((2x)^2)

= x^(1/3+1/2) + 4(x^(1/3+2))

= x^(5/6) + 4(x^(7/3))


x^(1/3) is y such that y^3 = x

(x^(1/3) × x^(1/3) × x^(1/3)) = x^(1/3+1/3+1/3) = x^1 = x


x^(1/2) = √2 = y such that y^2 = x

(2x)^2 = 4x^2

Can someone answer this please and please answer it correctly please show work I need it today
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer: 45

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of 8th graders that signed up = 30

9 dropped out. So the total number 8th graders on board the game

= 30 - 9 = 21

46 2/3 % of the club are 8th graders i.e 21

Let T be the total number of students in the club

46 2/3 % T = 21

(140/3)% T = 21

(140/300)T = 21

T = (21x300)/140 = 45

Therefore, there are 45 students on the club
