Answer:

Dimensions are 12 , 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of rectangular mural = length * width

length * width = 60 square feet

(x + 10)(x + 3) = 60

Use FOIL method

x*x + x*3 + 10*x + 10*3 = 60

x² + 3x + 10x + 30 = 60 {Combine like terms}

x² + 13x + 30 - 60 = 0

x² + 13x - 30 = 0

Sum = 13

Product = -30

Factors = 15 , -2 (15+ (-2) = 13 ; 15*(-2) = -30)

x² + 15x - 2x - 30 =0 {Rewrite middle terms}

x(x + 15) - 2(x + 15) = 0

(x + 15)(x - 2) =0

x - 2 = 0 {Ignore (x +15) as dimensions wont have a negative value}

x = 2

x + 10 = 2 + 10 = 12

x + 3 = 2 + 3 = 5

Dimensions are 12 , 5

Determine the first four terms of the sequence in which the nth term is

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer option is: $\frac{1}{3} ,\frac{1}{4} ,\frac{1}{5} ,\frac{1}{6}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the $nth$ term $a_n$ for an arithmetic sequence is given by:

$a_n=\frac{(n+1)!}{(n+2)!}$

where $n$ is the number of the position of the term.

We are supposed to find the first four terms of the sequence so we will substitute the values of $n$ from 1 to 4 in the given formula to get:

1st term:

$a_1=\frac{(1+1)!}{(1+2)!}=\frac{1}{3}$

2nd term:

$a_2=\frac{(2+1)!}{(2+2)!}=\frac{1}{4}$

3rd term:

$a_3=\frac{(3+1)!}{(3+2)!}=\frac{1}{5}$

4th term:

$a_4=\frac{(4+1)!}{(4+2)!}=\frac{1}{6}$

Find the mean of 9 13 9 10 10 9 10 10 11 9

Novay_Z [31]

Mean = it's really just another word for average. You add all the values up together, and divide the sum by the number of values there are. So here :

9 + 13 + 9 + 10 + 10 + 9 + 10 + 10 + 11 + 9 = 100

And now, you count how many values there are ^ up there. There are 10 values (just count how many numbers there are) and then you have to divide 100 by 10.

100 ÷ 10 = 10

Your MEAN is : 10

Find the area of the figure. If you need to use pi in your computation, approximate its value as 3.14. Round to the nearest hund

Firlakuza [10]

I find it easier to have a visual for when solving for shapes. You should solve for area of the semicircles by doing A=(3.14r^2)/2
Radius in this case is the base /2
In a Calculator that can be inputted as (3.14(4))/2

for this problem though I'm afraid that I need to know whether the height belongs to the figure as a whole or just regarding the rectangle.

If it is just the rectangle then we can do A=B*h
A= 4*5= 20
20 + semicircle
20 + 6.28
Total= 26.28
