Answer:

3a by 4a

Step-by-step explanation:

For dimensions L and W, the area and perimeter are ...

A = LW = 12a^2

P = 2(L+W) = 14a

Using the second equation, we can find L:

L +W = 7a . . . . . divide by 2

L = 7a -W

Substituting into the area formula gives the quadratic ...

(7a -W)(W) = 12a^2

W^2 -7aW +12a^2 = 0 . . . . arrange in standard form

(W -3a)(W -4a) = 0 . . . . . . . factor (find factors of 12 that total 7)

Then we have the two solutions ...

W = 3a, L = 4a

W = 4a, L = 3a

The rectangle dimensions are 3a by 4a.

Simplify 81^5=3^w and find w

Allisa [31]

Answer:

$w = 20$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Find common bases

$81^5 = 3^w$

$81$ → $3 * 3 * 3 * 3$ → $3^4$

Therefore, $81 = 3^4$

$81^5$ → $3^(^4^)^*^5$ → $3^2^0$

So... $3^2^0 = 3^w$

Since same base now, we can evaluate the exponents by themselves.

$20 = w$

Answer: $w = 20$

The cost for a certain music plan is 9.99 per year plus $.025 per song you download if you paid $113.74 one year find the number

garri49 [273]

Y=amount of money paid. (in $)
x=number of songs download.

We have this function:
y=0.25x+9.99

Then:
if y=113.74

113.74=0.25x+9.99
0.25x=113.74-9.99
0.25x=103.75
x=103.75 / 0.25
x=415

Answer: the number of songs downloaded would be 415.

Finding distance between each pair of points. how to know which is x1 y1 and x2 y2 when using (x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2? People are

denpristay [2]

It doesn't matter what order the coordinates are in the distance formula as long as it stays in it's corresponding order. In this case, (-7,5) could be (x1,y1) and (3,-5) could be (x2,y2) or vise versa, just as long as you don't mix up the coordinates (so no (-7,-5) or (3,5)). I'll demonstrate this below:

$\sqrt{(-7-3)^2+(5-(-5))^2}\\\sqrt{(-10)^2+(10)^2}\\\sqrt{100+100}\\\sqrt{200}\\\\\sqrt{(3-(-7))^2+(-5-5)^2}\\\sqrt{(10)^2+(-10)^2}\\\sqrt{100+100}\\\sqrt{200}$

The distance between these points, no matter the order, is √200, or approximately 14.14 units.
