Rounding to hundreds or thousands
joja [24]

Answer: E.G. 70 rounded to the nearest 100 is 100. It rounds up because it is higher than 49, which would round down

500 rounded to the nearest 1000 would be 1000 because it is over 500.

Anything over five will be rounded up (5,6,7,8,9)

Anything under 5 will be rounded down (1,2,3,4)

Hope this helps!

SCALCET8 4.7.011. Consider the following problem: A farmer with 950 ft of fencing wants to enclose a rectangular area and then d
kaheart [24]

Answer:

For any rectangle, the one with the largest area will be the one whose dimensions are as close to a square as possible.

However, the dividers change the process to find this maximum somewhat.

Letting x represent two sides of the rectangle and the 3 parallel dividers, we have 2x+3x = 5x.

Letting y represent the other two sides of the rectangle, we have 2y.

We know that 2y + 5x = 750.

Solving for y, we first subtract 5x from each side:

2y + 5x - 5x = 750 - 5x

2y = - 5x + 750

Next we divide both sides by 2:

2y/2 = - 5x/2 + 750/2

y = - 2.5x + 375

We know that the area of a rectangle is given by

A = lw, where l is the length and w is the width. In this rectangle, one dimension is x and the other is y, making the area

A = xy

Substituting the expression for y we just found above, we have

A = x (-2.5x+375)

A = - 2.5x² + 375x

This is a quadratic equation, with values a = - 2.5, b = 375 and c = 0.

To find the maximum, we will find the vertex. First we find the axis of symmetry, using the equation

x = - b/2a

x = - 375/2 (-2.5) = - 375/-5 = 75

Substituting this back in place of every x in our area equation, we have

A = - 2.5x² + 375x

A = - 2.5 (75) ² + 375 (75) = - 2.5 (5625) + 28125 = - 14062.5 + 28125 = 14062.5

Determine what type of number the solutions are and how many exist for the equation 3x^2+7x+5=0
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Two complex (imaginary) solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the number/type of solutions for a quadratic, we can evaluate its discriminant.

The discriminant formula for a quadratic in standard form is:

\Delta=b^2-4ac

We have:

3x^2+7x+5

Hence, a=3; b=7; and c=5.

Substitute the values into our formula and evaluate. Therefore:

\Delta=(7)^2-4(3)(5) \\ =49-60\\=-11

Hence, the result is a negative value.

If:

  • The discriminant is negative, there are two, complex (imaginary) roots.
  • The discriminant is 0, there is exactly one real root.
  • The discriminant is positive, there are two, real roots.

Since our discriminant is negative, this means that for our equation, there exists two complex (imaginary) solutions.

Given the arithmetic sequence an = −5 + 3(n − 1), what is the domain for n?

D because for a sequence you can't have a -1st term so b is out and a and c mean the same thing so neither of them can be the answer
