Two rectangles are similar. If the height of the first rectangle is 3 inches, and the height of the second recangle is 9

1 answer:

5 0

The first rectangula was increased by a factor of 3 to make the second rectangle. This makes it 3 times smaller than the second rectangle.

(?,5) is on the line 4x-7y=1. Find the other half of the coordinate.

ludmilkaskok [199]

The coordinate is an ordered pair $(x,y)$ . We have a number, 5, for y, which we can substitute (plug-in) for y in the equation of the line and solve for x.

$4x-7y=1\\4x-7(5)=1\\4x=36\\x=9$

$(9,5)$

0.3(8-2x) - 1.2(2-3x) < -21

Semmy [17]

Answer:

x=-7

Step-by-step explanation:

0.3(8-2x) - 1.2(2-3x) < -21

2.4 - 0.6x - 2.4 + 3.6x < -21

3x < -21

x < -7

A gardener wants to make a rectangular enclosure using a wall as one side and 120 m of fencing for the other three sides. expres

Solnce55 [7]

The area is given by A = -2x² + 120x. The greatest area is given by x = 30 m.

Explanation:
See the picture attached for reference.

Let's call:
x = side not facing the wall
We know that the total fence is 120m, therefore
(120 - 2x) = side facing the wall

Note: you could choose to be x = side facing the wall, but the calculations would be a little bit more complicated.

We can now calculate the area of a rectangle:
A = b · h =
= x · (120 - 2x)
= -2x² + 120x

In order to find a maximum for this function, we need to calculate the first derivative:
$\frac{d}{dx} (-2x^{2} + 120x ) = -4x +120$

Then, we need to find the candidate points by setting the derivative equal to zero:
-4x +120 = 0
-4(x - 30) = 0
x = 30

Now, in order to understand if the candidate point is a maximum or a minium, let's calculate the second derivative:

 $\frac{d}{dx}(-4x + 120) = -4$ 

According to the "Second Derivative Test", if the second derivative is negative, the point is a local maximum.

Hence, x = 30m gives the greatest area, and we would have:
side not facing the wall = 30m
side facing the wall = 120 - 2·30 = 60m
area = 30 · 60 = 1800 m²
