Cynthia beach wants to buy a rug for a room that is 22 ft wide and 31 ft long.she wants to leave a uniform strip of floor around the rug.she can afford to buy 580 square feet of carpeting.what dimensions should the rug have?

Answers

Answer 1

The dimensions the rug should have is 20 by 29

How to determine the dimension?

The dimension of the rug is given as:

22 ft by 31 ft

The area of the carpet is given as:

Area = 580

Represent the length of the empty space with x.

So, the dimension of the carpet is:

22 - 2x by 31 - 2x

The area is calculated as:

Area = (22 - 2x) * (31 - 2x)

Expand

Area = 682 - 62x - 44x + 4x^2

Evaluate the difference

Area = 682 -106x + 4x^2

Substitute Area = 580

682 -106x + 4x^2 = 580

Subtract 580 from both sides

102 -106x + 4x^2 = 0


Rewrite as:

4x^2 - 106x +102 = 0

Using a graphing calculator, we have:

x = 1 and x = 22.5

Substitute these values in 22 - 2x by 31 - 2x

So, we have:

Length = 22 - 2(1) = 20 or Length = 22 - 2(22.5) = -23

Width = 31 - 2(1) = 29 or Length = 31 - 2(22.5) = -14

The dimensions cannot be negative.

So, we have:

Length = 20 and Width = 29

Hence, the dimensions the rug should have is 20 by 29

A)(-7,-1)
B)(4,5
C)(7,-1)
D)(-3,7)

Answers

Answer: C) x = 7, y = -1

Step-by-Step Explanation:

=> y = -2x + 13 (Eq. 1)
=> 4x + 8y = 20 (Eq. 2)

Substitute value of ‘y’ from Eq. 1 in 2 :-

4x + 8y = 20
4x + 8(-2x + 13) = 20
4x + -16x + 104 = 20
-12x + 104 = 20
-12x = 20 - 104
-12x = -84
12x = 84
x = 84/12
=> x = 7

Substitute value of ‘x’ in Eq. 1 :-

y = -2x + 13
y = -2(7) + 13
y = -14 + 13
=> y = -1

Therefore, x = 7, y = -1 which can be written in an ordered pair as (7,-1).

In January, Joanna deposited $250
into her savings account. In
February, she deposited an
additional $100. If her account has
an APR of 6% compounded monthly,
how much interest did Joanna earn
in the first two months?

Answers

The interest that Joanna earned in the first two months is $4.26.

What is the interest earned?

Interest earned in the first month = future value - amount deposited.

Future value = amount deposited x (1 + monthly interest)

Monthly interest = 6/12 - 0.5% = $252.50

Interest = $252.50 = 250 = $2.50

Interest earned in the second monthly = future value of the first month + amount deposited x (1.005)

(252.50 + 100) x 1.005 = 354.26

Interest = 354.26 = 352.50 = $1.76

Total interest = $1.76 + $2.50 = $4.26

A car and a motor bike are priced at $33090. If the value of the car is three times the value of the motor bike, how much is the car worth?

Answers

So, you have the price combined for the motorcycle and car, and the car is 3x the amount of the bike. Here, we can separate their prices into fractions/percents (whatever works easiest for you). So, the car is 3/4 (75%) of the price, and the motorcycle is 1/4(25%) of the price.

Therefore, to find the price of the motorcycle, you multiply 33090 x 1/4 or .25 which equals $8272.50


And the car is 33090 x 3/4 or .75 which equals $24817.50.

The car is $24817.50

(8 kg 300 g 120 mg) − (3 kg 500 g 480 mg) 4 kg 799 g 640 mg

Answers

The value of (8 kg 300 g 120 mg) − (3 kg 500 g 480 mg) is; 4 kg 799 g 640 mg

How to carry out Unit Conversions?

We want to find the value of;

(8 kg 300 g 120 mg) − (3 kg 500 g 480 mg)

First of all, let us convert all units to kg as;

120 mg = 0.00012 kg

300 g = 0.3 kg

Thus;

8 kg 300 g 120 mg = 8 + 0.3 + 0.00012 = 8.30012 kg

Similarly, converting the second expression;

480 mg = 0.00048 kg

500 g = 0.5 kg

Thus;

3 kg 500 g 480 mg = 3 + 0.5 + 0.00048 = 3.50048 kg

Thus, we have;

8.30012 kg - 3.50048 kg = 4.77964 kg

Breaking down this gives;

4 kg 799 g 640 mg

What is simplification?

Simplifying procedures is one way to achieve uniformity in job efforts, expenses, and time. It reduces diversity and variation that is pointless, harmful, or unneeded. Parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction are all referred to as PEMDAS. The order of the letters in PEMDAS informs you what to calculate first, second, third, and so on, until the computation is finished, given two or more operations in a single statement.

To divide by a fraction, we can multiply by its reciprocal. So to simplify the expression:

((2x-3)/x ) / (7/x²)

We can multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator:

((2x-3)/x ) * (x²/7)

Simplifying this expression, we can cancel out the common factor of x in the numerator and denominator:

(2x-3) * (x/7)

Expanding the product:

(2x² - 3x) / 7

Therefore, the quotient of ((2x-3)/x ) / (7/x^2) is (2x² - 3x) / 7.

It means that g(x) is less than 0

In trigonometry, secant in a right triangle, is the reciprocal of the cosine of an angle symbol: sec while cosine is in a right triangle, is the ratio of the length of the side adjacent to an acute angle to the length of the hypotenuse.

The cosine of an angle is the ratio of the length of the side adjacent to the angle divided by the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle. The cosine of ∠A will be abbreviated as cos ∠A
