sum of the area of the rectangle and the circle is 184 cm². Using n as 22/7find the value of x.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 5.00 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

• area of the rectangle = [tex]x[/tex]   x   [tex](x + 1)[/tex]

                                     = [tex]x^2 + x[/tex]

• area of the circle = π r²

                               = [tex]\frac{22}{7}[/tex]   x   [tex](x + 2)^2[/tex]

                               = [tex]\frac{22}{7}[/tex]   x   [tex](x^2 + 4x + 4)[/tex]

∴   [tex]x^2 + x[/tex]   +    [tex]\frac{22}{7}[/tex]   x   [tex](x^2 + 4x + 4) = 184[/tex]  

⇒  [tex]x^2 + x[/tex]      +   [tex]\frac{22}{7} x^2 \space\ + \space\ \frac{88}{7} x \space\ + \space\ \frac{88}{7} = 184[/tex]

⇒  [tex]\frac{29}{7}x^2 \space\ + \space\ \frac{95}{7}x \space\ - \frac{1200}{7} = 0[/tex]

• Using quadratic formula, where

a = [tex]\frac{29}{7}[/tex]

b = [tex]\frac{95}{7}[/tex]

c = [tex]\frac{-1200}{7}[/tex] ,

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

[tex]x = \frac{-\frac{95}{7}\pm \sqrt{(\frac{95}{7})^2 - 4(\frac{29}{7})(\frac{-1200}{7} ) } }{2(\frac{29}{7})}[/tex]

[tex]x = 5.00 \space\ \space\ \space\ or \space\ \space\ \space\ x = -8.28[/tex]

As length (x) cannot be a negative number,

x = 5.00 cm

For the graphed function we can see:

domain = set of all real numbersrange = set of all real numbers.How to get the range and domain?

For a function y = f(x), the domain is the set of the possible inputs "x" and the range is the set of the possible outputs "y".

In this case, we can see that in the right side we have a parabola, and on the left side a linear equation which increases up to the left (so it has a negative slope).

Then the domain will be the set of all real numbers.

Similar for the range, as we can see that on the left side, the line goes upwards, while on the right side, the parabola goes downwards. So this function has a range of all real numbers.

Then:

domain = set of all real numbers

range = set of all real numbers.

Answer:

The surface area of the triangular prism is [tex]624cm^{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the area of the triangle.

The formula of the area of triangle is: [tex]\frac{1}{2} * h*b[/tex]

h=height

b=base or width.

[tex]\frac{1}{2}*16*12[/tex]

But, since we have two triangles we can skip the [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] because [tex]2*\frac{1}{2} =1[/tex].

[tex]16*12=192[/tex], that is the area of the two triangles combined.

Now let's find the area of the rectangles. I'll start with the diagonal one.

The formula of the area of the rectangle is: [tex]h*b[/tex].

[tex]20*9=180[/tex].

The next rectangle.

[tex]9*16=144[/tex]

The final rectangle.

[tex]12*9=108[/tex]

Now combine all the areas to find the surface area of the triangular prism.

[tex]192+180+144+108=624[/tex]

The surface area of the triangular prism is [tex]624cm^{2}[/tex]

The complete question is given below.

I rolled a number cube and spun a spinner. The number cube is numbered 1 to 6. The spinner has 4 equal parts: red, blue, yellow, and green. What is the probability of rolling an even number on a number cube and spinning red or yellow on the spinner?

What is probability?

Its basic premise is that something will almost certainly happen. The percentage of favorable events to the total number of occurrences.

Then the probability of rolling an even number on a number cube and spinning red or yellow on the spinner will be

The probability of getting even number on dice will be

Total event = 6 {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

Favorable events = 3 {2, 4, 6}

P₁ = 3/6

P₁ = 1/2

The probability of getting red or yellow will be

Total event = 4 {red, blue, yellow, green}

Favorable events = 2 {red, yellow}

P₂ = 2/4

P₂ = 1/2

Then the both event occur simultaneously, then we have

P = P₁ × P₂

P = 1/2 × 1/2

P = 1/4

P = 0.25

Which product recorded a greater percentage change in price over the previous year? Justify your answer. (5 points)

Answers

Answer:

A)  3%

B)  Product A

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential Function

General form of an exponential function: [tex]y=ab^x[/tex]

where:

a is the initial value (y-intercept)b is the base (growth/decay factor) in decimal formx is the independent variabley is the dependent variable

If b > 1 then it is an increasing function

If 0 < b < 1 then it is a decreasing function

Part A

Product A

Assuming the function for Product A is exponential:

[tex]f(x) = 0.69(1.03)^x[/tex]

The base (b) is 1.03.  As b > 1 then it is an increasing function.

To calculate the percentage increase/decrease, subtract 1 from the base:

⇒ 1.03 - 1 = 0.03 = 3%

Therefore, product A is increasing by 3% each year.

Part B

[tex]\sf percentage\:change=\dfrac{final\:value-initial\:value}{initial\:value} \times 100[/tex]

To calculate the percentage change in Product B, use the percentage change formula with two consecutive values of f(t) from the given table:

[tex]\implies \sf percentage\:change=\dfrac{10201-10100}{10100}\times 100=1\%[/tex]

Check using different two consecutive values of f(t):

[tex]\implies \sf percentage\:change=\dfrac{10303.01-10201}{10201}\times 100=1\%[/tex]

Therefore, as 3% > 1%, Product A recorded a greater percentage change in price over the previous year.

Although the question has not asked, we can use the given information to easily create an exponential function for Product B.

Given:

a = 10,100b = 1.01n = t - 1 (as the initial value is for t = 1 not t = 0)

[tex]\implies f(t) = 10100(1.01)^{t-1}[/tex]

To check this, substitute the values of t for 1 through 4 into the found function:

[tex]\implies f(1) = 10100(1.01)^{1-1}=10100[/tex]

[tex]\implies f(2) = 10100(1.01)^{2-1}=10201[/tex]

[tex]\implies f(3) = 10100(1.01)^{3-1}=10303.01[/tex]

[tex]\implies f(4) = 10100(1.01)^{4-1}=10406.04[/tex]

As these values match the values in the given table, this confirms that the found function for Product B is correct and that Product B increases by 1% per year.

Your are designing a rectangular birthday card for a friend. You want the card's length to be 1 inch more than twice the card's width. The area of the card is 88 square inches. What is the width of the card to the nearest tenth of an inch?

Answers

The width of the card to the nearest tenth of an inch is 6.15 inches

Area of rectangle

Width = xLength = 2x + 1Area = 88 square inches

Area of a rectangle = Length × Width

88 = 2x² + 2x

2x² + 2x - 88 = 0

x = -b ± √b² - 4ac / 2a

= -2 ± √2² - 4(2)(-88) / 2(2)

= -2 ± √4 - (-704) / 4

= -2 ± √708 / 4

Assuming [tex]a[/tex] is a non-negative real number...

Raise both sides to the power 2 :

[tex]a^{3/4} = 8 \implies \left(a^{3/4}\right)^2 = 8^2 \implies a^{3/2} = 64[/tex]

which follows from the exponent product property, [tex](x^y)^z=x^{yz}[/tex]. In particular, 3/4 × 2 = 6/4 = 3/2.

Raise both sides to the power 1/3 :

[tex]\left(a^{3/2}\right)^{1/3} = 64^{1/3} \implies a^{1/2} = 4[/tex]

where we use the same property as before, and 4³ = 64. This time, 3/2 × 1/3 = 3/6 = 1/2.

Take the reciprocal of both sides. This negates the exponent, so we end up with

[tex]\dfrac1{a^{1/2}} = \dfrac14 \implies \boxed{a^{-1/2} = \dfrac14}[/tex]

Of course, you could also solve for [tex]a[/tex] immediately by raising both sides of the original equation to the power 4/3. We have 4/3 × 3/4 = 12/12 = 1, so

[tex]a^{3/4} = 8 \implies \left(a^{3/4}\right)^{4/3} = 8^{4/3} \implies a = 8^{4/3}[/tex]

Now 2³ = 8, so [tex]8^{4/3} = \left(8^{1/3}\right)^4 = 2^4 = 16[/tex], and since 4² = 16, it follows that

[tex]a = 16 \implies a^{1/2} = \sqrt{16} = 4 \implies a^{-1/2} = \dfrac14[/tex]

The given polynomial to us is p(x) = x³ + 5x² - x - 5.

We are asked to factor the polynomial by grouping.

We can do this by following these steps:

p(x) = x³ + 5x² - x - 5.We group the first two terms and the next two terms to get p(x) = (x³ + 5x²) + (-x -5).Now, we take x² common from the first group and -1 common from the second group to get p(x) = x²(x + 5) -1(x + 5)Now, we take (x + 5) common from both the terms to get, p(x) = (x + 5)(x² - 1).Now, we right (x² - 1) as (x + 1)(x - 1). to get the polynomial as, p(x) = (x + 5)(x + 1)(x - 1).

If the given expression 2.3p – 10.1 = 6.5p – 4 – 0.01 is simplified, then the expression can be written as,

2.3p – 10.1 = 6.5p – 4 – 0.01

2.3p – 10.1 = 6.49p – 4

Thus, Option A is one of the option.

Using the multiplication property of Equality, if we multiply both the sides of the equation by 100, then we will get,
