The length of a rectangular lot is 6 feet less than 3 times its
width. Its area is 222 square feet.
Its width is
feet and its length is
feet.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Length = 22.98 feet

Width = 9.66 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the rectangle be L.

Let the width of the rectangle be W.

Given the following data;

Area of rectangle = 222 feet²

Translating the word problem into an algebraic expression, we have;

L = 3W - 6 ...... equation 1

We know that the area of a rectangle is given by the formula;

A = L * W

Substituting

222 = L * W ....equation 2

Substituting eqn 1 into eqn 2, we have;

222 = (3W - 6) * W

222 = 3W² - 6W

Rearranging the equation, we have;

3W² - 6W - 222 = 0

Next, we would use the quadratic formula to solve for the roots.

Note: the standard form of a quadratic equation is ax² + bx + c = 0

a = 3, b = -6 and c = -222

Solving the quadratic equation using the quadratic formula;

The quadratic equation formula is;

[tex] x = \frac {-b \; \pm \sqrt {b^{2} - 4ac}}{2a} [/tex]

Substituting into the equation, we have;

[tex] x = \frac {-(-6) \; \pm \sqrt {6^{2} - 4*3*(-222)}}{2*3} [/tex]

[tex] x = \frac {6 \pm \sqrt {36 - (-2664)}}{6} [/tex]

[tex] x = \frac {6 \pm \sqrt {36 + 2664}}{6} [/tex]

[tex] x = \frac {6 \pm \sqrt {2700}}{6} [/tex]

[tex] x = \frac {6 \pm 51.96}{6} [/tex]

[tex] x_{1} = \frac {6 + 51.96}{6} [/tex]

[tex] x_{1} = \frac {57.96}{6} [/tex]

x1 = 9.66

We do not need the negative value of x, so we proceed.

Therefore, Width, W = x1 = 9.66 feet

For the length;

L = 3W - 6

L = 3(9.66) - 6

L = 28.98 - 6

L = 22.98 feet

Which expression is equivalent to 128?


Answers

Answer: 2^3 x 2^4

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of the exponential expression is A = 2³.2⁴ = 128

What are the laws of exponents?

When you raise a quotient to a power you raise both the numerator and the denominator to the power. When you raise a number to a zero power you'll always get 1. Negative exponents are the reciprocals of the positive exponents.

The different Laws of exponents are:

mᵃ×mᵇ = mᵃ⁺ᵇ

mᵃ / mᵇ = mᵃ⁻ᵇ

( mᵃ )ᵇ = mᵃᵇ

mᵃ / nᵃ = ( m / n )ᵃ

m⁰ = 1

m⁻ᵃ = ( 1 / mᵃ )

Given data ,

Let the value of the exponential equation be A

Now , the first expression is p = 2³

The value of p = 8

Now , the second expression is q = 2⁴

The value of q = 16

From the laws of exponents , we get

p.q = 2³.2⁴ = 2³⁺⁴

The value of A = 2⁷ = 128

Hence , the exponential equation is 2⁷ = 128

Suppose a call center receives 4000 calls on average during their Friday evening shift. Next Friday several people have put in for time off, so the center will be staffed by 178 call center employees. When working continuously, the average call center employee can handle 22 calls per evening shift (with a standard deviation of 5 calls). Assuming the center receives its expected 4000 calls next Friday, what is the probability that the center will have enough employees to handle this call volume

Answers

Answer:

The probability that the center will have enough employees to handle this call volume is 0.2764

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is defined as the ratio of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes.

Here the total mean expected number of outcomes=u = 4000

The favorable  expected outcomes are = x= 22* 178= 3916

The  standard deviation= σ= 5

The random variable X =178 has normal distribution with mean 4000/22 and standard deviation 5

So z= x-u/σ

Z= (3916-4000)/22/5

z= -0.764

From the table of areas under normal curve

P (  x= 3916)=  P( -0.764 ≤ Z≤ 0)

P (  x= 3916)=  0.2764

The probability that the center will have enough employees to handle this call volume is 0.2764

Answers

Answer:

a. 22.3°

b. 2940.16 ft/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the complete question

A projectile fired into the first quadrant from the origin of a coordinate system will pass through the point (x, y) at the relationship cot theta = 2x/2y + gt^2 where theta is the angle of elevation of the launcher and g is the acceleration due to gravity (32.2 feet/second^2). An artillery man is firing at an enemy barker located 2275 feet up the side of a hill that is 6325 feet away. He fires a round, and exactly 2.84 seconds later he scores a direct hit.

a. What angle of elevation did he use? theta = degree (Do not round until the final answer. Then round to one decimal place as needed.)

b. f the angle of elevation is also given by sec theta = v_0 t/x, where v_0 is the velocity of the weapon, find the muzzle velocity of the artillery piece he used. v_0 = feet/second (Round to two decimal places as needed.)

Solution

(a) What angle of elevation did he use?

Given that cosθ = 2x/(2y + gt²) where x = horizontal distance of projectile = 6175 feet away,y = vertical distance of projectile = 2450 feet up, g = acceleration due to gravity = 32 ft/s² and t = time of hit = 2.27 s

So, cosθ = 2x/(2y + gt²)

cotθ = 2 × 6175 ft/(2 × 2450 ft + 32 ft/s² × (2.27 s)²)

cotθ = 12350 ft/(4900 ft + 32 ft/s² × 5.1529 s²)

cotθ = 12350 ft/(4900 ft + 164.8928 ft)

cotθ = 12350 ft/(5064.8928 ft)

1/tanθ = 2.4384

tanθ = 1/2.4384

tanθ = 0.4101

θ = tan⁻¹(0.4101)

θ = 22.3°

(b) If the angle of elevation is also given by sec θ = υ0t/x. where υ0 is the muzzle velocity of the weapon, find the muzzle velocity of the artillery piece he used.

Making u0 subject of the formula, we have

u0 = xsecθ/t

u0 = x/tcosθ

since x = 6175ft, t = 2.27 s and θ = 22.3°, then

u0 = x/tcosθ

u0 = 6175 ft/(2.27 s × cos22.3°)

u0 = 6175 ft/(2.27 s × 0.9252)

u0 = 6175 ft/(2.1 s)

u0 = 2940.16 ft/s

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point(-1,-3) and is perpendicularly to the line x-2y=14

Answers

Answer:

the equation will be

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+y+5=0

Answer:

2x + y + 5 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of line is x-2y = 14 and we need to find the equⁿ of line which passes through (-1,-3) and is perpendicular to given line.

Find the slope of given line by converting it into slope intercept form.

=> x - 2y = 14

=> 2y = x - 14

=> y = x-14/2

=> y = x/2 - 7

Comparing to y = mx + c ,

=> Slope (m) = 1/2 .

Now the slope of line perpendicular to it , will have a slope ,

=>[tex] m_{perp}[/tex] = -1/m

=>[tex] m_{perp}[/tex] = -1/½

=> [tex] m_{perp}[/tex] = -2

Using point slope form ,

=> m = (y - y₁) / ( x - x₁)

=> -2 = { y - (-3) } / { x - (-1) }

=> -2 = y + 3/x + 1

=> -2(x + 1) = y + 3

=> -2x -2 = y + 3

=> y + 2x +3+2 = 0

=> 2x + y + 5 = 0

Hence the equation of line perpendicular to it is 2x + y + 5 = 0 .
