Answer:

Width = 10 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the perimeter of a rectangle of 68 inches, and a length that is 14 inches longer than its width.

We can establish the following values to help us solve for the width of a rectangle:

Perimeter (P) = 68 inches

Length (L) = 14 + W inches

Width (W) = unknown

<h3 /><h3><u>Solve for the Width (W)</u></h3>

P =  2(L + W)  ⇒ This is the same as P = 2L + 2W, except that 2 is factored out from the right-hand side.

Divide both sides by 2:

\displaystyle\mathsf{\frac{P}{2}\:=\:\frac{2(L\:+\:W)}{2}}

\displaystyle\mathsf{\frac{P}{2}\:=L\:+\:W}

Substitute the value of the Perimeter and the length (L) into the formula:

\displaystyle\mathsf{\frac{68}{2}\:=14\:+W\:+\:W}

Combine like terms on the right-hand side, and simplify the left-hand side of the equation:

\displaystyle\mathsf{34\:=14\:+2W}

Subtract 14 from both sides:

34 - 14 = 14 - 14 + 2W

20 = 2W

Divide both sides by 2 to solve for the width (W):

\displaystyle\mathsf{\frac{20}{2}\:=\:\frac{2W}{2}}

W = 10 inches

Therefore, the width of the rectangle is 10 inches.

<h3 /><h3><u>Double-check:</u></h3>

Verify whether the derived value for the width is correct:

P = 2L + 2W

68 = 2(14 + 10) + 2(10)

68 = 2(34) + 20

68 = 48 + 20

68 = 68 (True statement).  

Thus, the length of the rectangle is 34 inches, and the width is 10 inches.

There was no snow on the ground when it started falling at midnight at a constant rate of 1.5 inches per hour. At
kumpel [21]

Answer:

The required piece-wise linear function is

\left\{\begin{matrix}1.5x & 0\leq x

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Let x represents the number of hours and S(x) represents the depth of snow.

There was no snow on the ground when it started falling at midnight at a constant rate of 1.5 inches per.

That means the depth of snow will be:

S(x)=1.5x\ \ \ 0\leq x< 4

At  4:00 a.m., it starting falling at a constant rate of 3 inches per hour,

From mid night to 4:00 a.m the depth of snow will be 1.5×4=6 inches.

If we want to calculate the total depth of snow from midnight to 7:00 am we need to add 6 inches in 3(x-4) where 4≤x<7

Therefore,

S(x)=3(x-4)+6\ \ \ 4\leq x

7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., snow was  falling at a constant rate of 2 inches per hour.

From mid night to 7:00 a.m the depth of snow will be 3(7-4)+6=15 inches.

If we want to calculate the total depth of snow from midnight to 9:00 am we need to add 15 inches in 2(x-7) where 7≤x≤9

S(x)=2(x-7)+15\ \ \ 7\leq x\leq 9

Therefore, the required piece-wise linear function is

\left\{\begin{matrix}1.5x & 0\leq x

A 90 percent confidence interval for the slope of a regression line is determined to be (-0.181, 1.529). Which of the following
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer: a. The correlation coefficient of the data is positive.

Step-by-step explanation:

Estimated slope of sample regression line  = \dfrac{Upper \ limit + lower\ limit}{2}

Here , confidence interval :  (-0.181, 1.529)

Estimated slope of sample regression line  = \dfrac{-0.181+1.529}{2}

=\dfrac{1.348}{2}\\\\=0.674\ \ \ \ [\text{ positive}]

⇒Correlation coefficient(r) must be positive, So a. is true.

But, d. and e. are wrong(0.674 ≠ 0 or 1.348).

We cannot check residuals or its sum from confidence interval of slope of a regression line, so b is wrong.

We cannot say that scatterplot is linear as we cannot determine it from interval, so c. is wrong

So, the correct option : a. The correlation coefficient of the data is positive.

10 percent increase of $29000 over 5 years,will give brainly is urgent
Tema [17]

Answer:

$43,500

Step-by-step explanation:

10 percent increase of $29,000

10% = 0.10

29,000*0.10 = 2,900

So 2,900 a year

so 2,900*5 = 14,500

Then add

29,000+14,500 = 43,500
