Answer:

The width of the rectangle is 20 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the ratio of length to width is 6:5, the width will be 5/6 of the length. To find 5/6 of 24, multiply 24/1 by 5/6 and simplify. (24/1 is the fraction form of 24 and makes solving the problem a little easier.)

— 24/1 * 5/6 = 120/6

— 120/6 = 20

The width of the rectangle is 20 inches.

State all integer values of x in the interval (2,8) that satisfy the following inequality:

lidiya [134]

Answer:

3,4,5,6 and 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$5x + 4 \ge 19$

Required

State the values of x within 2 and 8

$5x + 4 \ge 19$

Collect Like Terms

$5x \ge 19 - 4$

$5x \ge 15$

Divide both sides by 5

$\frac{5x}{5} \ge \frac{15}{5}$

$x \ge 3$

(2,8) is an open interval which means that 2 and 8 are not inclusive of the values of x.

So:

The values of $x \ge 3$ are: 3,4,5,6 and 7

Find the range of the parent function below y=x^2

marusya05 [52]

you don't show the graph, but graphing y=x^2 it is a U shaped line that starts at (0,0) and the lines go upwards on both sides of the Y axis,

This means all real numbers above 0 and 0 will solve it

so the range is y≥0
