Answer: 32

Step-by-step explanation: ok so here is what i do for those I grab a caculator (desmos online caculator i like to use but not required) then ill do (1/2×x)+4 but then once i write that i go back to the x delete the x and keep putting random numbers in higher and higher by one till the i get the answer (example: for this one i wrote that than i removed the x in it and did 1/2×5+4 then when that did not equal 20 i turned the 5 into a 6 then 6 was wrong so 7, then 8, then i just skipped to 20 then 20 was still wrong so skipped to 30, 30 was also wrong but CLOSE so then i tried 31 then 32 till the answer was 20 and when i did 32 it did say 20) hopes this helps

Answer: x=32

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2x+4=20

-4 -4

1/2x=16

Multiply by 1/2 on each side

x=32

A pigpen is to be enclosed using 640 m of fencing along three of its sides, the fourth side being a barn. Determine the dimensio

Basile [38]

Answer:

$W_{max}=480m\\ L_{max}=160m$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know we only have 640 feet of fence available, we know that L + W + L = 640, $\implies$ 2L + W = 640. This allows us to represent the width, W, in terms of L: W = 640 – 2L

Remember, the area of a rectangle is equal to the product of its width and length, therefore,

$A_{\rm pigpen}=L(640-2L)\implies 640L-2L^2$

Notice that, quadratic has been vertically reflected, since the coefficient on the squared term is negative, so the graph will open downwards, and the vertex will be a maximum value for the area.

recall,

$x_{max}=-b/2a$
$f(x)_{max}=f(x_{max})$

Since our function is A(L)=640L-2L², we get

a=-2
b=640

plug in the value of a and b into the first formula:

$L_{max}=-(640)/2(-2)\implies 160$

$A(L)_{max}=640(160)-2(160)^2\implies 76800$

hence,the dimensions of the pen that will maximize the area are L=160m and W=76800/160=480m

and we're done!

$\\ \tt\longmapsto cosy=\dfrac{s/8}{s/t}$

$\\ \tt\longmapsto cosy=8/t$

Can you help me i don’t know the answers

1)

An irrational number is a number that a) can't be written as a fraction of two whole numbers AND b) is an infinite decimal without any sort of pattern.

For the first answer choice, clearly $\frac{1}{3}$ does not pass the first criterion so we look at the second choice.

Let's come back to $\sqrt{2}$ and $\pi$ .

$\frac{2}{9}$ doesn't meet our first criterion, and let's skip $\sqrt{3}$ for now.

It is often easier to disprove an irrational number than to prove one. There are a few famous irrationals to know (although there is an infinite number of irrationals). The most common are $\sqrt{2}, \pi, e, \sqrt{3}$ . For now, it's just helpful to know these and recognize them.

So we can check off $\sqrt{2}, \pi$ and $\sqrt{3}$ .

2)

For this next question, we know that $\sqrt{64} = 8$ . Clearly this isn't irrational. Likewise, $\frac{1}{2}$ isn't irrational. $\frac{16}{4} = \frac{4}{4} = 1$ , which is rational, leaving only $\frac{ \sqrt{20}}{5} = \frac{2 \sqrt{5} }{5}$ . By process of elimination, this is the correct answer. Indeed, $\sqrt{5}$ is an irrational number.

3) This notation means that we have 0.3636363636... and so on, to an infinite number of digits. It is called a repeating decimal.

But it can be written as a fraction because its pattern repeats, unlike for an irrational number.

Let's say $x=0.36363636...$ . Would you agree that $100x=36.36363636...$ ? (We choose to multiply by 100 because there are two decimals that repeat. For 1, choose 10, for 3 choose 1,000, and so on.)

Now, let's subtract x from 100x and solve.

$100x=36.36363636\\-x \ \ \ \ \ \ \ -0.36363636\\99x=36\\\\x= \dfrac{36}{99}= \dfrac{4}{11}$

Voila!

Solve for x in the equation 2x^2+14x+17=-96

goblinko [34]

$2x^{2}+14x+17=-96 \newline
2x^{2}+14x+113=0 \newline
\Delta = b^{2}-4ac = 14^{2} - 4 \cdot 2 \cdot 113 = -708.$

Since $\Delta$ is negative $\Rightarrow x \notin \mathbb{R}.$
