The dimensions of the border is 1.5 feet for the garden

A rectangle is a quadrilateral with four sides and four angles in which opposite sides are equal and parallel.

The area of a rectangle = Length * breadth

Given that length of garden = 16 ft., width of garden = 12 ft.

It is surrounded by a mulch of width x, hence:

New length = 16 + x + x = 16 + 2x

New width = 12 + x + x = 12 + 2x

The area of garden = 16 + 2x(12 + 2x) = 192 + 56x + 4x²

Since the maximum area is 285 ft, hence:

192 + 56x + 4x² = 285

4x² + 56x - 93 = 0

x = 1.5 feet

The dimensions of the border is 1.5 feet

What is the mean of this table

suter [353]

Answer:

The mean is 77.8125

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean is the average of the numbers. It is very easy to calculate and get. All you have to do is add up all the numbers and divide it by how many numbers there are.

80 + 90 + 81 + 86 + 100 + 77 + 75 + 96 + 65 + 87 + 58 + 80 + 36 + 73 + 70 + 91 = 1245

$\frac{1245}{16} = 77.8125$

f(x)=x^2; vertical shrink by a factor of 1/2 and a reflection in the y-axis, followed by a translation 1 unit down

NeX [460]

The image of the function f(x) after vertical shrink by a factor of 1/2

and a reflection in the y-axis, followed by a translation 1 unit down

is g(x) = $\frac{1}{2}$ x² - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets revise:

1. The vertical shrink

A vertical shrinking is the squeezing of the graph toward the x-axis.

if 0 < k < 1 (a fraction), the graph of y = k•f(x) is the graph of f(x) vertically

shrunk by multiplying each of its y-coordinates by k

2. The reflection

If the function f(x) reflected across the y-axis, then its image is g(x) = f(-x)

3. Vertical translation

If the function f(x) translated vertically up by m units, then its image

is g(x) = f(x) + m

If the function f(x) translated vertically down by m units, then its image

is g(x) = f(x) - m

Now let us solve the problem

∵ f(x) = x²

∵ f(x) shrunk by a factor of $\frac{1}{2}$

∴ The image of f(x) = $\frac{1}{2}$ x²

∵ The image of f(x) reflected across y-axis

∴ The sign of x will change

∴ The new image of f(x) = $\frac{1}{2}$ (-x)²

∵ The new image of f(x) translated 1 unit down

∴ We will subtract the new image of f(x) by 1

∴ The last image of f(x) is g(x) = $\frac{1}{2}$ (-x)² - 1

(-x)² = x² because even exponents reject the negative sign

The image of the function f(x) after vertical shrink by a factor of 1/2

and a reflection in the y-axis, followed by a translation 1 unit down

is g(x) = $\frac{1}{2}$ x² - 1

A sock drawer contains eight navy blue socks and five black socks with no other socks. If you reach in the drawer and take two s

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

a. the probability of picking a navy sock and a black sock = P (A & B)

= (8/13 ) * (5/12) = 40/156 = 0.256

b. the probability of picking two navy or two black is

= 56/156 + 20/156 = 76/156 = 0.487

c. the probability of either 2 navy socks is picked or one black & one navy socks.

= 40/156 + 56/156 = 96/156 = 0.615

Step-by-step explanation:

A sock drawer contains 8 navy blue socks and 5 black socks with no other socks.

If you reach in the drawer and take two socks without looking and without replacement, what is the probability that:

Solution:

total socks = N = 8 + 5 + 0 = 13

a) you will pick a navy sock and a black sock?

Let A be the probability of picking a navy socks first.

Then P (A) = 8/13

without replacing the navy sock, will pick the black sock, total number of socks left is 12.

Let B be the probability of picking a black sock again.

P (B) = 5/12.

Then, the probability of picking a navy sock and a black sock = P (A & B)

= (8/13 ) * (5/12) = 40/156 = 0.256

b) the colors of the two socks will match?

Let A be the probability of picking a navy socks first.

Then P (A) = 8/13

without replacing the navy sock, will pick another navy sock, total number of socks left is 12.

Let B be the probability of another navy sock again.

P (B) = 7/12.

Then, the probability of picking 2 navy sock = P (A & B)

= (8/13 ) * (7/12) = 56/156 = 0.359

Let D be the probability of picking a black socks first.

Then P (D) = 5/13

without replacing the black sock, will pick another black sock, total number of socks left is 12.

Let E be the probability of another black sock again.

P (E) = 4/12.

Then, the probability of picking 2 black sock = P (D & E)

= (5/13 ) * (4/12) = 5/39 = 0.128

Now, the probability of picking two navy or two black is

= 56/156 + 20/156 = 76/156 = 0.487

c) at least one navy sock will be selected?

this means, is either you pick one navy sock and one black or two navy socks.

so, if you will pick a navy sock and a black sock, the probability of picking a navy sock and a black sock = P (A & B)

= (8/13 ) * (5/12) = 40/156 = 0.256

also, if you will pick 2 navy sock, Then, the probability of picking 2 navy sock = P (A & B)

= (8/13 ) * (7/12) = 56/156 = 0.359

now either 2 navy socks is picked or one black one navy socks.

= 40/156 + 56/156 = 96/156 = 0.615

In a random sample of 1,000 high-school students, 29 percent indicated that they had read the Declaration of Independence at lea

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

c. Ninety-five percent of the time, the percentage of those questioned who have read the Declaration of Independence would likely be between 25 and 33 percent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Margin of error:

"It means the percentage difference of the result above or below the exact value."

i.e. 4 percent of margin error in the question means that the result will be either 4 percent above the 29 percent or 4 percent below the 29 percent.

OR "the result can vary upto 4 percent above or below the 29 percent."

Let me simplify the answer first in number then convert it percent to understand easily.

29 percent of 1000= (29/100)*1000=290

4 percent of 1000=(4/100)*1000=40

If 290 students had read the declaration of independence at least once with 40 margin of error, then it means the number of students that had read declaration of independence may be 330 or 250

250 is 25% of 1000 and 330 is 33% of 1000, that is why ninety-five percent of the time, the percentage of those questioned who have read the Declaration of Independence would likely be between 25 and 33 percent.

The foot of a ladder is placed 7 meters from a wall. If the top of the ladder rests 9 meters up on the wall, how long is the lad

nekit [7.7K]

We can find the length of the ladder by squaring the known digits, adding them, and finding the square root of the sum. This would mean our first equation, after squaring, will look like this:

49+81=130

Now that we have <em>c</em> squared, we can go through and find the approximate square root, which is 11.4. That would mean the ladder is 11.4 meters long.
