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.

a cell phone company offers two different monthly plans.plan a charges $41 for unlimited cell phone minutes plus $0.10 per text
tiny-mole [99]

41+0.10x = 31+0.15x

10 +0.10x=0.15x

10=0.05x

x=10/.05

x= 200 text messages


check 200*0.10 = 20 +41 =61

200*0.15 = 30+31 = 61

 they equal each other so number of texts is 200

Make U the subject of the formula <br> D = ut + kt2
natali 33 [55]

Remark

I'm going to interpret this equation as

D = ut + kt²  The only difference is the 2.

Solution

Subtract kt² from both sides.

D - kt² = ut   Now divide by u on both sides.

\dfrac{D - kt^2}{t} = \dfrac{ut}{t}

The t's cancel out. on the right.  You are left with u on the right.

\dfrac{D - kt^2}{t} =\text{u}

Iam not sure about this questions answer can u give answer <br> Q10,11,12
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

10. First you multiply both sides by 3, making it 2x + 5 = 24

Then you subtract 5 from both sides making it 2x = 19

You dive both sides by 2 making x = 9.5

The answer is x = 9.5

11. First you need to find how much you need to pay each year. 12,000 x 0.05

you can make it easier by changing it to 120 x 5 = 600

You need to pay that for three years so 600 x 3 = 1800

Plus you need to pay the original money. 12,000 + 1,800 = 13,800      

The answer is $13,800    

12. First you change kilometers into centimeters. 172 km is 172,000 meters. 172,000 meters is 17,200,000

Then, you need to do 17,200,000 ÷ 500,000 but you can make it simple and do 172 ÷ 5 = 34.4

The answer is 34.4 cm
