Now the width is w.
It's twice as long as wide, so now the length is 2w.

If the length is increased by 4 cm, the length will be 2w + 4.
The width is decreased by 3 cm, so the width will be w - 3.

The are of the new rectangle is 100 cm^2.

area = length * width

area = (2w + 4)(w - 3)

The area of the new rectangle is 100, so we get

(2w + 4)((w - 3) = 100

2w^2 - 6w + 4w - 12 = 100

2w^2 - 2w - 112 = 0

w^2 - w - 56 = 0

(w - 8)(w + 7) = 0

w - 8 = 0   or   w + 7 = 0

w = 8   or   w = -7

A width cannot be negative, so discard w = -7.

w = 8

The width is 8 cm.
The length is twice the width, so the length is 16 cm.

2x-2 must be zero or greater, since we cannot have a negative quantity under the radical sign (unless we allow for imaginary roots).

Solving 2x-2≥0, we get x-1≥0, or x≥1.  x must be equal to or greater than 1.


16 - 16, so the answer to the 2nd problem is the fourth one:  x=4.

A jar made of 3/16-inch-thick glass has an inside radius of 3.00 inches and a total height of 6.00 inches (including the bottom
Nady [450]

Answer:

a) 0.012ft³

b)2.09 lb

c)0.791 lb

d) 0.012ft³

e) 6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

a) To determine the volume of the shell of the jar we must determine the volume of the hollow cylinder:

V=3.1416\cdot{h}\cdot{(R^2-r^2)

Where r is the inside radius and R the outer radius.

V=3.1416\cdot{6}\cdot{(3.1875^2-3^2)=21.87

convert to cubic ft:

=21.87\cdot{0.0005787}=0.01266

The volume of the glass shell is 0.012 ft³

b) The weight of the cylinder can be determined because we have the volume and the density. Weight is defined as the product of volume and density:

M=p\cdot{v}=165\cdot{0.01266}=2.09

The weight of the jar is 2.09 lb

c) The displacement of water is just the density of water mutliplied by the volume of the jar:#

=0.01266\cdot{62.5}=0.79

0.791 lb of water will be displaced.

d) The volume of the water displaced is:

[tex]=0.791/62.5=0.01266

e) The jar will be fully submerged because the density of the jar is larger than water.

Solve for u. u+1/4=-4/5
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

u = (-21)/20

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for u:

u + 1/4 = (-4)/5

Put each term in u + 1/4 over the common denominator 4: u + 1/4 = (4 u)/4 + 1/4:

(4 u)/4 + 1/4 = -4/5

(4 u)/4 + 1/4 = (4 u + 1)/4:

1/4 (4 u + 1) = -4/5

Multiply both sides of (4 u + 1)/4 = (-4)/5 by 4:

(4 (4 u + 1))/4 = (-4)/5×4

4×(-4)/5 = (4 (-4))/5:

(4 (4 u + 1))/4 = (-4×4)/5

(4 (4 u + 1))/4 = 4/4×(4 u + 1) = 4 u + 1:

4 u + 1 = (-4×4)/5

4 (-4) = -16:

4 u + 1 = (-16)/5

Subtract 1 from both sides:

4 u + (1 - 1) = (-16)/5 - 1

1 - 1 = 0:

4 u = (-16)/5 - 1

Put (-16)/5 - 1 over the common denominator 5. (-16)/5 - 1 = (-16)/5 - 5/5:

4 u = (-16)/5 - 5/5

-16/5 - 5/5 = (-16 - 5)/5:

4 u = (-16 - 5)/5

-16 - 5 = -21:

4 u = (-21)/5

Divide both sides by 4:

u = ((-21)/4)/5

5×4 = 20:

Answer:  u = (-21)/20
