Answer:

<em>Any width less than 3 feet</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Inequalities</u>

The garden plot will have an area of less than 18 square feet. If L is the length of the garden plot and W is the width, the area is calculated by:

A = L.W

The first condition can be written as follows:

LW < 18

The length should be 3 feet longer than the width, thus:

L = W + 3

Substituting in the inequality:

(W + 3)W < 18

Operating and rearranging:

W^2 + 3W - 18 < 0

Factoring:

(W-3)(W+6)<0

Since W must be positive, the only restriction comes from:

W - 3 < 0

Or, equivalently:

W < 3

Since:

L = W + 3

W = L - 3

This means:

L - 3 < 3

L < 6

The width should be less than 3 feet and therefore the length will be less than 6 feet.

If the measures are whole numbers, the possible dimensions of the garden plot are:

W = 1 ft, L = 4 ft

W = 2 ft, L = 5 ft

Another solution would be (for non-integer numbers):

W = 2.5 ft, L = 5.5 ft

There are infinitely many possible combinations for W and L as real numbers.

Is the Mandelbrot set locally connected?
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It is conjectured that the Mandelbrot set is locally connected. This famous conjecture is known as MLC (for Mandelbrot locally connected). By the work of Adrien Douady and John H. Hubbard, this conjecture would result in a simple abstract "pinched disk" model of the Mandelbrot set. In particular, it would imply the important hyperbolicity conjecture mentioned above.

The work of Jean-Christophe Yoccoz established local connectivity of the Mandelbrot set at all finitely renormalizable parameters; that is, roughly speaking those contained only in finitely many small Mandelbrot copies.[19] Since then, local connectivity has been proved at many other points of {\displaystyle M}M, but the full conjecture is still open.

3x - 6 = 2 - 5x how do i get x
Elanso [62]

Answer:

x=0.875

Step-by-step explanation:

3x-6=2-5x

Add 6 on both sides (6+2)

2x=8-5x

Add 5x on both sides

7x=8

Divide 7 from both sides

x=0.875
