Answer:

The width W is :

$W=\frac{3}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the area of the rectangle

Let L be the length of the rectangle

Let W be the width of the rectangle

______

Formula:

A = L × W

__________

$\begin{aligned}A &=L \times W \\\Rightarrow W &=\frac{A}{L} \\\Rightarrow W &=\frac{\frac{3}{8}}{\frac{5}{8}} \\&=\frac{3}{8} \times \frac{8}{5} \\&=\frac{3 \times 8}{8 \times 5} \\&=\frac{3}{5}\end{aligned}$

1.) You are one of five people who have been hired to mow the lawn at the local college. Each week, the dimensions of the plot y

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

1a) Length = 7x + 3 & Width = 4x - 2

1b) Area = $28x^2 -2x -6$

1c) Area = 2774 sq. m

2. $(x-4)(y+7)$

Step-by-step explanation:

1a)

The length given as words is "3 more than 7 times x"

The width given as words is "4 times x minus 2"

The expression for length would be 7x + 3

The expression for width would be 4x - 2

1b)

The area is length * width

Since we already know the algebraic expressions for length and width from part (a) above, we use the formula:

Area = (7x+3)(4x-2) = 28x^2 -14x + 12x - 6 = 28x^2 -2x -6

Area = $28x^2 -2x -6$

1c)

Given x = 10, we put this into the area expression we found in (b) above.Let's see:

$28x^2 -2x -6\\=28(10)^2 -2(10) -6\\=2774$

Area = 2774 sq. m

We can group the first two terms and next two terms and write up:

$xy-4y+7x-28\\(xy-4y)+(7x-28)\\y(x-4)+7(x-4)\\(x-4)(y+7)$

That's the factored form.

The recycling and reuse industry employs approximately 1,025,000 more workers than the waste management industry. Together they

NARA [144]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The recycling and reuse industry employs approximately 1,025,000 more workers than the waste management industry. This means that

Number of workers employed by The recycling and reuse industry = the number of workers employed by the waste management industry + 1,025,000

Let y = the number of workers employed by the waste management industry. Therefore

x = y + 1,025,000 - - - - - - 1

Since total = 1,275,000

x + y = 1,275,000 - - - - - - -2

Substituting equation 1 into equation 2, it becomes

y + 1,025,000 + y = 1,275,000

2y = 1,275,000 - 1,025,000

y = 250000/2 = 125000

x = y + 1,025,000 = 125000 + 1,025,000 = 1150000

The recycling and reuse industry employs 1150000 workers

The waste management industry employs 125000 workers

What is the equation of the quadratic graph with a focus of (1, 1) and a directrix of y = −1? PLs HELP!!

Delicious77 [7]

ANSWER
$f(x)= \frac{1}{4} {(x - 1)}^{2}$

EXPLANATION

Since the directrix is
$y = - 1$

the axis of symmetry of the parabola is parallel to the y-axis.

Again, the focus being,

$(1,1)$

also means that the parabola will open upwards.

The equation of parabola with such properties is given by,

${(x - h)}^{2} = 4p(y - k)$
where
$(h,k)$

is the vertex of the parabola.

The directrix and the axis of symmetry of the parabola will intersect at
$(1, - 1)$

The vertex is the midpoint of the focus and the point of intersection of the axis of the parabola and the directrix.

This implies that,
$h = \frac{1 + 1}{2} = 1$

and
$k = \frac{ - 1 + 1}{2} = 0$

The equation of the parabola now becomes,

$(x - 1) ^{2} = 4p(y - 0)$

$|p| = 1$

Thus, the distance between the vertex and the directrix.

This means that,

$p = - 1 \: or \: 1$

Since the parabola opens up, we choose
$p = 1$
Our equation now becomes,

${(x - 1)}^{2} = 4(1)(y - 0)$

This simplifies to
${(x - 1)}^{2} = 4y$

or

$y = \frac{1}{4} {(x - 1)}^{2}$

This is the same as,

$f(x)= \frac{1}{4} {(x - 1)}^{2}$

The correct answer is D .
