Answer:

The length is 22.5 and the width is 19.5

Step-by-step explanation:

          2L + 2W = P

                     \/

          2L + 2W = 84

                     \/

W + 3 + W + 3 + W + W= 84

                     \/

          4W + 6 = 84

                     \/

                4W = 78

                     \/

     W = 19.5      L = 19.5 + 3 = 22.5

I hope this helps, have a nice day! :D

Find the coordinates if the midpoint of a line segment with endpoints (-3,4) and (7,9).
svetoff [14.1K]
Using the midpoint formula 
\frac{ x_{1}+ x_{2}  }{2},  
 \frac{ y_{1}+  y_{2}  }{2}
\frac{-3+7}{2},
 \frac{4+9}{2}
\frac{4}{2},
 \frac{13}{2}
(2,6.5)
So, your answer would be (2,6.5).

The sum of first three terms of a finite geometric series is -7/10 and their product is -1/125. [Hint: Use a/r, a, and ar to rep
Alchen [17]
Ooh, fun

geometric sequences can be represented as
a_n=a(r)^{n-1}
so the first 3 terms are
a_1=a
a_2=a(r)
a_2=a(r)^2

the sum is -7/10
\frac{-7}{10}=a+ar+ar^2
and their product is -1/125
\frac{-1}{125}=(a)(ar)(ar^2)=a^3r^3=(ar)^3

from the 2nd equation we can take the cube root of both sides to get
\frac{-1}{5}=ar
note that a=ar/r and ar²=(ar)r
so now rewrite 1st equation as
\frac{-7}{10}=\frac{ar}{r}+ar+(ar)r
subsituting -1/5 for ar
\frac{-7}{10}=\frac{\frac{-1}{5}}{r}+\frac{-1}{5}+(\frac{-1}{5})r
which simplifies to
\frac{-7}{10}=\frac{-1}{5r}+\frac{-1}{5}+\frac{-r}{5}
multiply both sides by 10r
-7r=-2-2r-2r²
add (2r²+2r+2) to both sides
2r²-5r+2=0
solve using quadratic formula
for ax^2+bx+c=0
x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}
so
for 2r²-5r+2=0
a=2
b=-5
c=2

r=\frac{-(-5) \pm \sqrt{(-5)^2-4(2)(2)}}{2(2)}
r=\frac{5 \pm \sqrt{25-16}}{4}
r=\frac{5 \pm \sqrt{9}}{4}
r=\frac{5 \pm 3}{4}
so
r=\frac{5+3}{4}=\frac{8}{4}=2 or r=\frac{5-3}{4}=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}

use them to solve for the value of a
\frac{-1}{5}=ar
\frac{-1}{5r}=a
try for r=2 and 1/2
a=\frac{-1}{10} or a=\frac{-2}{5}


test each
for a=-1/10 and r=2
a+ar+ar²=\frac{-1}{10}+\frac{-2}{10}+\frac{-4}{10}=\frac{-7}{10}
it works

for a=-2/5 and r=1/2
a+ar+ar²=\frac{-2}{5}+\frac{-1}{5}+\frac{-1}{10}=\frac{-7}{10}
it works


both have the same terms but one is simplified

the 3 numbers are \frac{-2}{5}, \frac{-1}{5}, and \frac{-1}{10}
