what does the slope of -1 tell you about thr relationship between lengths and widths of rectangles with perimeter 24?

1 answer:

8 0

Using linear function concepts, the slope of -1 means that when one of the length/width is increased by 1, the other is decreased by 1.

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>

A linear function is modeled by:

$y = mx + b$

In which:

m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.

b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0.

In this problem:

The lengths and the widths are interchangeable, that is, either can be considered as the input or as the output.

The slope of -1 means that when the input in increased by 1, the output is decreased by -1, that is, when one of the length/width is increased by 1, the other is decreased by 1.

A1,a2,a3....a30-each of these 30 sets has 5 elements.b1,b2,....bn-each of these n sets has 3 elements.union of a1,a2...a30=union

zzz [600]

the number of elements in the union of the A sets is:5(30)−rAwhere r is the number of repeats.Likewise the number of elements in the B sets is:3n−rB
Each element in the union (in S) is repeated 10 times in A, which means if x was the real number of elements in A (not counting repeats) then 9 out of those 10 should be thrown away, or 9x. Likewise on the B side, 8x of those elements should be thrown away. so now we have:150−9x=3n−8x⟺150−x=3n⟺50−x3=n
Now, to figure out what x is, we need to use the fact that the union of a group of sets contains every member of each set. if every element in S is repeated 10 times, that means every element in the union of the A's is repeated 10 times. This means that:150 /10=15is the number of elements in the the A's without repeats counted (same for the Bs as well).So now we have:50−15 /3=n⟺n=45
