Answer:

  • The length = x = 15 units
  • The width = x-5 = 10 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'x' be the length of a rectangle

As the width of a rectangle is 5 units less than the length.

so

width of rectangle will be = w = x - 5 units

Area = 150 square units

Using the formula

Area = length × width

150=\left(x\right)\left(x-5\right)

150=x^2-5x

x^2-5x=150

Subtract 50 from both sides

x^2-5x-150=150-150

x^2-5x-150=0

\left(x+10\right)\left(x-15\right)=0

if

ab=0\:\mathrm{then}\:a=0\:\mathrm{or}\:b=0\:\left(\mathrm{or\:both}\:a=0\:\mathrm{and}\:b=0\right)

x+10=0\quad \mathrm{or}\quad \:x-15=0

x=-10,\:x=15

As length can not be negative. so

x = 15 units

Hence,

The length = x = 15 units

The width = x-5 = 15-5 = 10 units

Help with matrice equations
Tasya [4]

Answer:

21) x=1, y=-1, z=2 and 23) x=3, y=-1, z=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

there are 3 equations in 21)

1) x+y-z=-2

2)2x-y+z=5

3)-x+2y+2z=1

solve for x by adding equation 2) and 1)

2)2x-y+z=5 +  1) x+y-z=-2   = 3x=3, then divide by 3 and x=1

solve for z by adding equation 1) and 3)

1) x+y-z=-2 + 3)-x+2y+2z=1

we then get a new equation, 4), by isolating z

3y+z=-1 which is 4) z=-1-3y

substitute our new equation, 4) z=-1-3y, and x=1 into equation 1) to get y

(1)+y- (-1-3y)=-2

isolate y to get y=-1

then substitute y=-1 into equation 4) to get z=2

check by substituting x=1, y=-1, and z=2 into all 3 equations

there are 3 equations

1)x+3y=0

2)x+y+z=1

3)3x-y-z=11

add equation 3) and 2) together to get x

3)3x-y-z=11 + 2)x+y+z=1

4x=12, x=3

substitute x=3 into equation 1) (3)+ 3y=0 to get y

3y=-3, y=-1

substitute x=3 and y=-1 into equation 2) to get z

(3)+(-1)+z=1,  z=-1

Suppose f(x) = x^2 and
SpyIntel [72]

Given:

The two functions are:

f(x)=x^2

g(x)=\left(\dfrac{1}{3}x\right)^2

To find:

The statement that best compares the graph of g(x) with the graph of f(x).

Solution:

The horizontal stretch is defined as:

g(x)=f(kx)            ...(i)

If 0, the function f(x) is horizontally stretched by factor \dfrac{1}{k}.

If k>1, the function f(x) is horizontally compressed by factor \dfrac{1}{k}.

We have,

f(x)=x^2

g(x)=\left(\dfrac{1}{3}x\right)^2

Using these functions, we get

g(x)=f\left(\dfrac{1}{3}x\right)         ...(ii)

On comparing (i) and (ii), we get

k=\dfrac{1}{3}

Since 0, the function f(x) is horizontally stretched by factor \dfrac{1}{\frac{1}{3}}=3.

Hence, the correct option is D.

A student fond the slope of a line that passes through the points (-8,-6) and (2,-3) to be 3/10. what mistake did she make?
goldfiish [28.3K]
Simple ....

we know to find slope is (y1-y2)/(x1-x2)

if we plug in what we know......

(-8,-6),(2,-3)

(-6--3)/(-8-2)

it turns into...

(-6++3)/(-8+-2)

(-3)/(-10)= 3/10

Thus, your answer is that she made no mistake. (C)
