Answer:

  • Length and width of rectangle is 24 and 8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • Length of rectangle is three times the width
  • Perimeter of rectangle is 64 Inches

<u>To Find:</u>

  • Length and Width

<u>Solution:</u>

Let's assume Width of rectangle x inches and length be 3x inches. To calculate the dimensions of The rectangle we will use the formula of Perimeter of rectangle:

Perimeter of rectangle = 2(L + B)

→ 64 = 2(3x + x)

→ 64 = 2(4x)

→ 64/2 = 4x

→ 32 = 4x

→ 32/4 = x

→ 8 = x

Hence,

  • Length of the rectangle = 3x = 3(8) = 24 inches

  • Width of the rectangle = x = 8 inches

Answer:

  • Length = 24 inches

  • Width = 8 inches

⠀

Step-by-step explanation :

⠀

As it is given that, the legnth of a rectangle is three times its width and the perimeter is 64 in and we are to find the length and width of the rectangle. So,

⠀

Let us assume the width of the rectangle as w inches and therefore, the length will be 3w inches .

⠀

Now, According to the Question :

⠀

{\longrightarrow \qquad { \pmb{\frak {2 ( Length + Breadth )= Perimeter_{(Rectangle)} }}}}

⠀

{\longrightarrow \qquad { {\sf{2 (3 x  + x )= 64 }}}}

⠀

{\longrightarrow \qquad { {\sf{2 (4x )= 64 }}}}

⠀

{\longrightarrow \qquad { {\sf{8x= 64 }}}}

⠀

{\longrightarrow \qquad { {\sf{ x =  \dfrac{64}{8}  }}}}

⠀

{\longrightarrow \qquad{ \underline{ \boxed { \pmb{\mathfrak {x = 8}} }}} }\: \: \bigstar

⠀

Therefore,

  • The width of the rectangle is 8 inches .

⠀

Now, We are to find the length of the rectangle:

{\longrightarrow \qquad{ { \frak{\pmb{Length = 3x  }}}}}

⠀

{\longrightarrow \qquad{ { \frak{\pmb{Length = 3 \times 8 }}}}}

⠀

{\longrightarrow \qquad{ \underline{  \boxed{ \frak{\pmb{Length = 24}}}}}} \:  \:  \bigstar

⠀

Therefore,

  • The length of the rectangle is 24 inches .

⠀

What is the inverse of cube root x/3 +1
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

{f}^{ - 1} (x) = 3 {x}^{2}  - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the inverse of

y = \sqrt[3]{ \frac{x}{3} + 1}

We interchange x and y to get:

x= \sqrt[3]{ \frac{y}{3} + 1}

We solve for y;

{x}^{2}  =  \frac{y}{3}  + 1

Multiply through by 3

3 {x}^{2}  = y + 3

Subtract 1 from both sides:

y = 3 {x}^{2}  - 3

Therefore the inverse is

{f}^{ - 1} (x) = 3 {x}^{2}  - 3

At a carnival, contestants are asked to keep rolling a pair of dice until they roll snake eyes. The number of rolls needed has a
Stells [14]

Answer:

The two numbers of rolls are 25.2 and 46.8.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Chebyshev's theorem states that, if X is a r.v. with mean µ and standard deviation σ, then for any positive number k, we have  

P (|X -\mu| < k\sigma) \geq  (1-\frac{1}{k^{2}})

Here

(1-\frac{1}{k^{2}})=0.75\\\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{k^{2}}=0.25\\\\\Rightarrow k=\sqrt{\frac{1}{0.25}}\\\\\Rightarrow k=2

Then we know that,

|X - \mu| \geq k\sigma,\\\\  \Rightarrow \mu - k\sigma \leq X \leq \mu + k\sigma.

Here it is given that mean (µ) = 36 and standard deviation (σ) = 5.4.

Compute the two values between which at least 75% of the contestants lie as follows:

P(\mu - k\sigma \leq X \leq \mu + k\sigma)=0.75\\\\P(36 - 2\cdot\ 5.4 \leq X \leq 36 + 2\cdot\ 5.4)=0.75\\\\P(25.2\leq X\leq 46.8)=0.75

Thus, the two numbers of rolls are 25.2 and 46.8.
