Answer: Anything between 0 and 10, excluding both endpoints.

In terms of symbols we can say 0 < w < 10 where w is the width.

===================================================

Explanation:

You could do this with two variables, but I think it's easier to instead use one variable only. This is because the length is dependent on what you pick for the width.

w = width

2w = twice the width

2w-5 = five less than twice the width = length

So,

  • width = w
  • length = 2w-5

which lead to

area = length*width

area = (2w-5)*w

area = 2w^2-5w

area < 150

2w^2 - 5w < 150

2w^2 - 5w - 150 < 0

To solve this inequality, we will solve the equation 2w^2-5w-150 = 0

Use the quadratic formula. Plug in a = 2, b = -5, c = -150

w = \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\w = \frac{-(-5)\pm\sqrt{(-5)^2-4(2)(-150)}}{2(2)}\\\\w = \frac{5\pm\sqrt{1225}}{4}\\\\w = \frac{5\pm35}{4}\\\\w = \frac{5+35}{4} \ \text{ or } \ w = \frac{5-35}{4}\\\\w = \frac{40}{4} \ \text{ or } \ w = \frac{-30}{4}\\\\w = 10 \ \text{ or } \ w = -7.5\\\\

Ignore the negative solution as it makes no sense to have a negative width.

The only practical root is w = 10.

If w = 10 feet, then the area = 2w^2-5w results in 150 square feet.

----------------------

Based on that root, we need to try a sample value that is to the left of it.

Let's say we try w = 5.

2w^2 - 5w < 150

2*5^2 - 5*5 < 150

25 < 150 ... which is true

This shows that if 0 < w < 10, then 2w^2-5w < 150 is true.

Now try something to the right of 10. I'll pick w = 15

2w^2 - 5w < 150

2*15^2 - 5*15 < 150

375 < 150 ... which is false

It means w > 10 leads to 2w^2-5w < 150  being false.

Therefore w > 10 isn't allowed if we want 2w^2-5w < 150 to be true.

Write an expression that can be used to multiply 6 x 198 mentally? please answer thanks!
valkas [14]
-6 x 2 + 6 x 200. Since you want to find out 6 multiplied by 198 the easiest way (for me) would be to round it and then substract 12 since 200-198 is equal to 2 and 6 x 2 is equal to 12

I write out all the whole numbers, starting from 1. If I wrote 1994 digits altogether, what was the last complete number I wrote
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

You wrote the numbers from 1 to 9: 9 digits.

You wrote the numbers from 10 to 99: 90*2 = 180 digits.

You have written 189 digits.

Then you wrote another 1994 - 189 = 1805

All the numbers from 100 to 999 have 3 digits

So you wrote 1805/3 = 601 2/3

This means 601 full numbers and 2 digits from the 602. number.

So 100 + 601 - 1 = 700 was the last number you wrote.

Do you agree?

I require help (why this stuff so hard)
kow [346]

Answer:

x should be -3

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 5/3x + 10

f(-3) = (5*-3)/3 + 10

f(-3) = -15/3 + 10

f(-3) = -5 + 10

f(-3) = 5

g(x) = -2x - 1

g(-3) = -2(-3) - 1

Negatives cancel out

g(-3) = 2(3) - 1

g(-3) = 6 - 1

g(-3) = 5

5 is equal to 5, so x should be -3 in this case.
