The area of a rectangle is 24 square inches. Determine both dimensions if the length is 6 inches less than three times the width

Mathematics
1 answer:
Rama09 [41]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

width is 4 inches

length is 6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

the length is 6 inches less than three times the width

l = 3w - 6

a = l * w

a = (3w - 6)w

a = 3w^2 - 6w

area of the rectangle is 24 square inches

3w^2 - 6w = 24

subtract 24 from both sides

3w^2 - 6w - 24 = 0

Divide both sides by 3

w^2  - 2w - 8 = 0

Factor

(w - 4)(w + 2) = 0

w = {-2, 4}

disregard the negative root since measurement must be positive

w = 4

l = 3w - 6

l = 3(4) - 6

l = 6

BROOO HELP what is the slope of the line through (-3,3) and (-1,-1)?
lesya [120]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope between any two points, we can use the slope formula:

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Where (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are two, separate points.

We have the two points (-3, 3) and (-1, -1).

So, let (-3, 3) be (x₁, y₁) and let (-1, -1) be (x₂, y₂).

Substitute them into the slope formula to get:

m=\frac{-1-3}{-1-(-3)}

Subtract:

m=\frac{-4}{2}=-2

Hence, our slope is -2.

So, our answer is C.

Which statements are correct interpretations of this graph?
kupik [55]

Answer:

B. 3 pages are edited every five minutes

D. 6/10 of a page is edited per minute

Step by step:

Three pages are done at an interval of five minutes.

Six tenths of a page is done every minute

0.6 * 5 = 3 per five minutes

The other statements are false.

12/3 = 4, four done every minute, really?

5 pages are edited every three minutes.

This would disprove statement B.

And does not align with the graph.

Hope this helps.

17. Which of the following is TRUE? ( 5 points) a. The mean tells us, roughly, how much the data deviate from the average. b. Th
svp [43]

Answer:

c. The Mean of Normal Distribution is related to the average of the data set. The Standard deviation is related to data variation.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) No, mean don't tell us how much the data deviate from the average, Standard deviation tells us. So, Option (a) is incorrect.

(b) No, mean is greatly affected by extreme values. But Median is good to measure central tendency when there is outlier present in data. So, Option (b) is also incorrect.

(c) Here Mean and Standard deviation are correctly defined. Hence, this is only the correct answer.

(d) No, It is the definition of mean not of Standard Deviation. So, this option is also incorrect.

Further, Mean is used to measure the central tendency of data which represents the whole data in the best way. It can be found as the ratio of the sum of all the observations to the total number of observations.
