( 1/2x +1/2y)²

= { ( x + y )/ 2xy }²

= ( x² + 2xy + y² )/4(xy)² —(1)

As we know that x² + y² = 14 — (2)

and xy = 5 —(3)

So, substitute the value of equation 2 and 3 in equation 1,

= ( x² + 2xy + y²)/4(xy)²

=( 14 + 2*5)/(4*5²)

= 24/(4*25)

= 6/25.

Answer:

(½x+½y)²=6

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + y^2 = 14, xy=5

(A+B)^2=A^2 +2AB+B^2... (*)

(1/2x+1/2y)^2 =(*)

(1/2x)^2 +2(1/2x)(1/2y)+(1/2y)^2 =

1/4x^2 +1/2xy+1/4y^2=

1/4(x^2 +y^2) +1/2(xy)=

1/4*14+1/2*5=

14/4+5/2=

14/4+10/4=

24/4=6

let me know if I'm wrong.

The ratio of the dimensions of a rectangular patio are 4:7. if the shorter
Cerrena [4.2K]

If the ratio of the dimensions is 4:7 and the shorter dimension is 10ft, we know that the 10ft corresponds to the 4 in this scenario. We can set up the equation as follows:

\frac{4}{7} =\frac{10}{x}

You have to multiply by 2.5 to get from 4 to 10. And since we want to make sure we are maintaining the ratio, we have to multiply the denominator, 7, by 2.5 as well.

\frac{4}{7}*\frac{2.5}{2.5}=\frac{10}{17.5}

This means your shorter side has a length of 10ft and your longer side has a length of 17.5ft.

AREA

The formula for the area of a rectangle is: w*l

So we can plug our dimensions into the formula: 10*17.5=175

So 175 is our area. But we can't forget about units! Since this is area and we multiplied our units together, our units would be squared. That means our answer is <u>175 square feet</u>.

PERIMETER

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is: 2(w+l)

We can plug our dimensions into the formula: 2(10+17.5)=55

So 55 is our perimeter. Of course, we can't forget about our units. Because this is perimeter, we only added our units together, so they don't change. That means our answer is <u>55 feet</u>.

What are the minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, and maximum of the data set? PLEASE Show your work.
Schach [20]
54 55 59 61 61 62 68 70 72
First put your numbers in order from least to greatest. This shows your minimum is 54 and maximum is 72.
In the middle of the data set is 61.

54 55 59 61. 61. 62 68 70 72

To find the first qaurtile only use the numbers before rhe median (54 55 59 61) and find the median of that. Since 55 and 59 are both in the middle add them both and divide by two to find the middle lf those two numbers. You should get 57. So 57 is the first quartile.

Do the same steps with the numbers after the meadian for your third quartile. You should get 69 as your answer for the third quartile.
