Answer:

Width: 6 cm

Length: 9 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Width: x

Length: x + 3

2(x)+2(x+3) = 30cm

2x + 2x + 6 = 30

4x = 30-6

x = 24/4

x = 6

What is the answer to this?

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you simplify the equations and the left side is identical to the right side, then there are an infinite number of solutions: the equation is true for all values of x.

Another way to simplify the equation is to subtract the right side from both sides. If that simplifies to 0 = 0, then there are an infinite number of solutions.

2x -6 -6x = 2 -4x . . . . eliminate parentheses

-4x -6 = -4x +2 . . . . no solutions (no value of x makes this true)

x +2 = 15x +10 +2x . . . . eliminate parentheses

x +2 = 17x +10 . . . . one solution (x=-1/2)

4 +6x = 6x +4 . . . . eliminate parentheses

6x +4 = 6x +4 . . . . infinite solutions

6x +24 = 2x -4 . . . . eliminate parentheses; one solution (x=-7)

Write the equation of the line that passes through (−3,1) and (2,−1) in slope-intercept form

Alex787 [66]

Answer:

$y=-\frac{2}{5}x-\frac{1}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line is y = mx + b

Where:

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

First, let's find what m is, the slope of the line.

Let's call the first point you gave, (-3,1), point #1, so the x and y numbers given will be called x1 and y1.

Also, let's call the second point you gave, (2,-1), point #2, so the x and y numbers here will be called x2 and y2.

Now, just plug the numbers into the formula for m above, like this:

$m = -\frac{2}{5}$

So, we have the first piece to finding the equation of this line, and we can fill it into y=mx+b like this:

$y=-\frac{2}{5}x + b$

Now, what about b, the y-intercept?

To find b, think about what your (x,y) points mean:

(-3,1). When x of the line is -3, y of the line must be 1.
(2,-1). When x of the line is 2, y of the line must be -1.

Now, look at our line's equation so far: $y=-\frac{2}{5}x + b$ . $b$ is what we want, the - $-\frac{2}{5}$ is already set and x and y are just two 'free variables' sitting there. We can plug anything we want in for x and y here, but we want the equation for the line that specfically passes through the two points (-3,1) and (2,-1).

So, why not plug in for x and y from one of our (x,y) points that we know the line passes through? This will allow us to solve for b for the particular line that passes through the two points you gave!

You can use either (x,y) point you want. The answer will be the same:

(-3,1). y = mx + b or $1=-\frac{2}{5} * -3 + b$ , or solving for b: $b = 1-(-\frac{2}{5})(-3)$ . $b = -\frac{1}{5}$ .
(2,-1). y = mx + b or $-1=-\frac{2}{5} * 2 + b$ , or solving for b: $b = 1-(-\frac{2}{5})(2)$ . $b = -\frac{1}{5}$ .

See! In both cases, we got the same value for b. And this completes our problem.

The equation of the line that passes through the points (-3,1) and (2,-1) is $y=-\frac{2}{5}x-\frac{1}{5}$

vazorg [7]

The statement "<span>The rate of change of y with respect to x is inversely proportional to y^4" can be written mathematically as dy/dx = k/y^4

To solve the differential equation, we use variable saparable method.
y^4 dy = kdx
Integrating both sides gives,
y^5 / 5 = kx + A
y^5 = 5kx + 5A = Bx + C; where B = 5k and C = 5A
$y= \sqrt[5]{Bx+C}$ </span>
