The length of a rectangle is 5 meters less than twice the width. If the area of the rectangle is 273 meters, find the dimensions

AleksandrR [38]

The length of the rectangle = 16 meters

The width of the rectangle = 10.5 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The Area of the rectangle is 273.

Step 1 :

Let, the width of the rectangle be 'x'

The length of the rectangle is 2x - 5

Step 2 :

Area of the rectangle = length $\times$ width

273 = (2x - 5) x

273 = 2x^2 - 5x

Step 3 :

The equation formed is 2x^2 - 5x -273 = 0

a= coefficient of x^2 = 2

b= coefficient of x = -5

c = constant = -273

Find the roots of the equation, to find the width.

Step 4 :

Find the roots using factorizing method,

ac = 2 $\times$ -273 = -546 and b= -5

Factorizing -546 as -26 $\times$ 21

The product of -26 $\times$ 21 = -546

The sum of -26 + 21 = -5

Step 5 :

The roots of the equation 2x^2 - 5x -273 = 0 are x= -26/2 and x= 21/2

The values of x are x= -13 and x= 10.5

Since the width cannot be a negative value, neglect x= -13

Step 6 :

Therefore,

The width of the rectangle = 10.5 meters

The length of the rectangle = 2x-5

= 2(10.5) - 5

= 21 - 5

length = 16 meters

Suppose the number of children in a household has a binomial distribution with parameters n-8 and p-50%. Find the probability of

Goshia [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the number of children in a household has a binomial distribution with parameters n-8 and p-50%

As per binomial definition we have

$P(X=r) = nCr p^r q^{n-r}$

= $8Cr (0.5)^r (0.5)^{n-r} \\=8Cr(0.5)^8$

a) P(x=3 or 7) = P(3)+P(7) = 0.2188+0.0313=0.2501

b) P(X≤5)=0.8555

c) P(X≥3)=0.8555

d) P(x<7) =0.9648

explain your process of converting a mixed number to an improper fraction.explain your process of converting a improper fraction

Sophie [7]

So I'll start with the mixed number to improper fraction.
Step one - multiply the denominator and the whole number.
Step two- take your product and add it to the numerator
Step three- the sum is the numerator of the mixed number and the original denominator is the denominator
___________________________
Now for improper fraction to mixed number
Step one- see how many times the denominator goes into the numerator (ex. 2 goes into 9, 4 times With one left over)
Step two -the 4 becomes the whole number and the 1 the numerator
Step three- use the same denominator
