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.

12 + 5x &gt; 2 ( 8x - 6 ) - 7x<br><br>x &gt; what number?
Aloiza [94]
12 + 5x > 2(8x - 6) - 7x

12 + 5x > 16x - 12 - 7x

5x - 16x + 7x > -12 - 12

-4x > -24 / : (-4)

x < 6

Which equations represent functions?
never [62]

Answer:

2x + 3y = 10,  3y = 18  (in both cases, for each input x, there is exactly one output y.

Step-by-step explanation:

3y = 10 - 2x, or y = (1/3)(10 - 2x)   Yes, this is a function.

4x = 16 → x = 4        NOT a Function, because for x = 4 there are an infinite number of possible y -values

2x - 3 = 14 →  2x = 17  →  x = 17/2  Not a function.  See reason given above.

3y = 18 →  y = 6   Function

2x = 14.6   →  x = 7.3  Not a function.  See reason given above

Use identities to find the values of the sine and cosine functions for the following angle measure.
puteri [66]

Using the cosine double angle formula,

\cos 2\theta=2\cos^2 \theta-1=\frac{12}{13}\\\\2\cos^{2} \theta=\frac{25}{13}\\\\\cos^{2} \theta=\frac{25}{26}\\\\\boxed{\cos \theta=\frac{5}{\sqrt{26}}}

(Note I took the positive case since \theta terminates in the first quadrant)

Using the Pythagorean identity,

\sin^2 \theta+\cos^2 \theta=1\\\\\sin^2 \theta+\frac{25}{26}=1\\\\sin^2 \theta=\frac{1}{26}\\\\\boxed{\sin \theta=\frac{1}{\sqrt{26}}}

(Note I took the positive case since \theta terminates in the first quadrant)

Solve the equation below for a<br><br> vf=vi+at
ipn [44]

Answer:

a=\frac{vf - vi }{t}

Step-by-step explanation:

vf=vi + at

vf-vi= at

divide  both sides by t

\frac{vf - vi }{t} =\frac{at}{t}

a=\frac{vf - vi }{t}
