Find the dimensions of a rectangle whose width is 8 miles less than its length and whose area is 105 square miles

Answers

Answer 1

Area of a rectangle = w*l

w = width

l = length

In our problem,

Area = 105mi^2

l = x

w = x - 8

Let's plug our values into the formula above.

105mi^2 = x(x - 8)

Distribute the x

105mi^2 = x^2 - 8x

Subtract 105mi^2 from both sides.

0 = x^2 - 8x - 105

Let's factor the right side.

0 = (x - 15)(x + 7)

Set both terms equal to 0

x - 15 = 0

Add 15 to both sides.

x = 15

x + 7 = 0

Subtract 7 from both sides.

x = -7

Since the length cant be a negative number, 15 is the correct answer.

Length = x = 15 mi

Width = x - 8 = 15 - 8 = 7 mi

Answer 2

The length of the rectangle is 15 miles while the width is 7 miles.

What is a rectangle?

A rectangle is a geometrical figure in which opposite sides are equal.

The angle between any two consecutive sides will be 90 degrees.

The perimeter of rectangle = 2( length + width).

Suppose the length is L while the width is W.

Area of rectangle = length × width.

L x W = 105

W = L - 8

By substitution,

L x (L - 8) = 105

L² - 8L - 105 = 0

L² - 15L + 7L - 105 = 0

L(L - 15) + 7(L - 15) = 0

(L + 7)(L - 15) = 0

L = -7, L = 15

Since length will not be negative thus L = 15 miles.

W = 15 - 8 = 7 miles

Hence "The length of the rectangle is 15 miles while the width is 7 miles."

  D.  BC ≅ EF

Step-by-step explanation:

ASA means you're trying to show congruence by showing two angles A..A and the segment between them ..S.. are congruent. The figure shows two congruent angles. What remains is to show the segments between are congruent.

__

In ∆ABC, the marked angles are B and C, so the segment between them is BC.

In ∆DEF, the marked angles are E and F, so the segment between them is EF.

These are the segments that need to be shown congruent if you're using ASA.

Answer:

question 3.3 Answer: Angle 3

question 3.4  Answer: ABD and DBC are complementary angles

question 3.5  Answer: x is 7 degrees (first answer option)

Step-by-step explanation:

First question:

Recall that suplementary angles are those whose addition gives 180 degrees. Therefore the supplementary angle to angle 8 is angle 3.

Second question:

Recall that complementary angles are those angles which added give 90 degrees. Therefore, the only correct answer for this question is the third one: ABD and DBC are complementary angles.

Third question:

Notice that the two angles added should render 90 degrees, therefore, their expression should as well add to 90 degrees. Such can be written in equation form as:

( 6 x - 20 ) + (4 x + 40 ) = 90

combining like terms and later solving for x we get:

6 x + 4 x - 20 + 40 = 90

10 x + 20 = 90

10 x = 90 - 20

10 x = 70

x = 7

Therefore x is 7 degrees

Find the first partial derivatives of the function f(x,y,z)=4xsin(y−z)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]f_x(x,y,z)=4\sin (y-z)[/tex]

[tex]f_x(x,y,z)=4x\cos (y-z)[/tex]

[tex]f_z(x,y,z)=-4x\cos (y-z)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

[tex]f(x,y,z)=4x\sin (y-z)[/tex]

We need to find first partial derivatives of the function.

Differentiate partially w.r.t. x and y, z are constants.

[tex]f_x(x,y,z)=4(1)\sin (y-z)[/tex]

[tex]f_x(x,y,z)=4\sin (y-z)[/tex]

Differentiate partially w.r.t. y and x, z are constants.

[tex]f_y(x,y,z)=4x\cos (y-z)\dfrac{\partial}{\partial y}(y-z)[/tex]

[tex]f_y(x,y,z)=4x\cos (y-z)[/tex]

Differentiate partially w.r.t. z and x, y are constants.

[tex]f_z(x,y,z)=4x\cos (y-z)\dfrac{\partial}{\partial z}(y-z)[/tex]

[tex]f_z(x,y,z)=4x\cos (y-z)(-1)[/tex]

[tex]f_z(x,y,z)=-4x\cos (y-z)[/tex]

Therefore, the first partial derivatives of the function are [tex]f_x(x,y,z)=4\sin (y-z), f_x(x,y,z)=4x\cos (y-z)\text{ and }f_z(x,y,z)=-4x\cos (y-z)[/tex].

Suppose that a visitor to Disneyland has a 0.74 probability of riding the Jungle Cruise, 0.62 probability of riding the Monorail, 0.70 of riding the Matterhorn, 0.52 of going on both the Jungle Cruise and Monorail, 0.46 of going on the Jungle Cruise and Matterhorn, 0.44 of going on the Monorail and the Matterhorn, and 0.34 of going on all three rides. What is the probability that a person visiting Disneyland will go on at least one of these three rides

Answers

Answer: 0.98

Step-by-step explanation:

Let J denotes Jungle Cruise , M denotes Monorail and H denotes Matterhorn.

As per given ,

P(J) = 0.74,  P(M) =  0.62, P(H) = 0.70

P(J∩M) = 0.52,  P(J∩H)= 0.46 , P(M∩H)=0.44

P(J∩M∩H)=0.34

Now , the required probability:

P(J∪M∪H) = P(J) + P(M)  + P(H) - P(J∩M) - P(J∩H) - P(M∩H)+ P(J∩M∩H)

= 0.74+0.62+0.70-0.52-0.46-0.44+0.34

= 0.98

Hence, the probability that a person visiting Disneyland will go on at least one of these three rides= 0.98 .

Jasmine is in charge purchasing tubes of silicone sealant, used for finishing
restroom facilities. She finds that she is able to purchase silicone sealant in cone
tubes. She knows that a jumbo cone of sealant has a top diameter of 8 inches and
a height of 12 inches, and a regular cone of sealant has a top diameter of 4 inches
and a height of 6 inches. Jasmine believes that with her order of sealant, that she
can get the same amount of silicone sealant from two regular cones as from one
jumbo cone,
a) Is Jasmina correct about the silicone sealant cones?
If you think Jasmina is correct explain why.
If you think she is incorrect replace the statement with one that is correct.
Explain why your statement is correct.
b) If the price for a regular cone of sealant is $3.40, what is a 'fair price' for a
jumbo cone?

Answers

Answer:

a) Jasmine or Jasmina is correct about the silicone sealant cones.

If Jasmine orders two regular cones of regular sealant, it will be equal to the Jumbo cone of sealant, because the top diameter when put together in a Jumbo cone will give the same result as a Jumbo cone, since 4 * 2 = 8 inches (top diameter) and 6 * 2 = 12 inches (height).

b) If the price for a regular cone of sealant is $3.40, the 'fair price' for a jumbo cone should be $6.80 ($3.40 * 2).

Step-by-step explanation:

Jumbo cone of sealant has top diameter of 8 inches and a height of 12 inches

Regular cone of sealant has top diameter of 4 inches and a height of 6 inches

If Jasmine orders two regular cones of regular sealant, it will be equal to the Jumbo cone of sealant, because the top diameter when put together in a Jumbo cone will give the same result as a Jumbo cone, since 4 * 2 = 8 inches (top diameter) and 6 * 2 = 12 inches (height).

If the price for a regular cone of sealant is $3.40, the 'fair price' for a jumbo cone should be $6.80 ($3.40 * 2), since two of the regular cone will give the value of a Jumbo cone.

Answers

The missing part of the question is;

What is the projected number of people aged 65 and over with Alzheimer's disease in 2030 and in 2050

Answer:

In 2030, P(20) = 7.9536 (in millions)

In 2050, P(40) = 13.2688 (in millions)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that;

Number of people aged 65 and over in the U.S. population with Alzheimer's disease (in millions) as;

P(t) = −0.0002083t³ + 0.0157t² – 0.093t + 5.2 (4 ≤ t ≤ 40);

Where t is measured in years and t = 4 corresponds to the year 2014.

Now,

Since t = 4 represents 2014,therefore;

t = 20 would represent population in 2030

Thus in year 2030;

P(20) = −0.0002083(20)³ + 0.0157(20)² – 0.093(20) + 5.2

P(20) = 7.9536 (in millions)

Also, in year 2050, t will correspond to 40 years.

Thus;

P(40) = −0.0002083(40)³ + 0.0157(40)² – 0.093(40) + 5.2

P(40) = 13.2688 (in millions)
