A classroom will be assembled so that the desks fit within an area that is 8 m by 12 m. The desks will be surrounded by a border that will be the same width on all sides of the rectangular room, to
allow for walking space. The area of the border will equal 20% of the area of the space that the desks
occupy. What is the width of the border, to the nearest hundredth of a meter?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.46 m

Step-by-step explanation:

area of desks: 8 m by 12 m = 8 m * 12 m = 96 m^2

20% of this area is 20% * 96 m^2 = 19.2 m^2

The area of the border is 19.2 m^2.

Let the path around the desks have width x.

The area of desks plus path is a rectangle 2x + 8 by 2x + 12.

area of desks plus path = (2x + 8)(2x + 12)

= 4x^2 + 24x + 16x + 96 = 4x^2 + 40x + 96

The area of the border is the area of the rectangle that includes the border minus the rectangle that has just the desks.

area of border = (4x^2 + 40x + 96) - (96) =

= 4x^2 + 40x

Above, we have the area of border = 19.2, so we get this equation:

4x^2 + 40x = 19.2

4x^2 + 40x - 19.2 = 0

x^2 + 10x - 4.8 = 0

We now use the quadratic formula to solve the equation for x.

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

[tex] x = \dfrac{-10 \pm \sqrt{10^2 - 4(1)(-4.8)}{2(1)} [/tex]

[tex] x = \dfrac{-10 \pm \sqrt{100 + 19.2 )}{2} [/tex]

[tex] x = \dfrac{-10 \pm \sqrt{119.2 )}{2} [/tex]

[tex] x = 0.46 [/tex]  or  [tex] x = -10.46 [/tex]

We discard the negative solution.

Answer: the border is 0.46 m wide.

A health club has a one time membership fee of $99, then charges $15 per month for members.

a) Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the cost y of joining the club
for x months.


b) How much has Muscular Marty paid if he has been a member for one year?

Answers

Answer:

a) The line will be y = 15x + 99 because the 99 is a one time purchase.

b) After 1 year, x will be 12 so Muscular Marty will pay 15 * 12 + 99 = $279.

Answer:

a) y = 99 + 15x

b) 279

Step-by-step explanation:

b) 1 yr = 12 months

thus x is 12

y = 99 + 15(12) = 99 + 180 = 279

Kimmy walks to school each day. She uses a map that is drawn on a standard (x,y) coordinate plane to see how far she walks. On the map, one coordinate unit represents 100 feet. Her house is located at (8, 4) and the school entrance is located at (-4, -2). Each day, she walks directly from her house to the school entrance. ​ ​To the nearest foot, what is the distance Kimmy walks to school each day?

Answers

Answer:

1342 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Kimmy's house is located at (8, 4)

The school entrance is located at (-4, -2).

To find the distance Kimmy walks to school every day, we use the Distance formula:

[tex]\text{Distance =}\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]

Where [tex](x_1,y_1)=(8, 4),$ and (x_2,y_2)=(-4, -2).[/tex]

[tex]\text{Distance=}\sqrt{(-4-8)^2+(-2-4)^2}\\=\sqrt{(-12)^2+(-6)^2}\\=\sqrt{144+36}\\=\sqrt{180} \\=13.42$ Units\\Since 1 coordinate unit represents 100 feet.\\\\Distance walked by Kimmy to school every day\\=13.42*100 feet\\=1342 feet (to the nearest foot)[/tex]

Cam bounces a ball 2.528 feet in front of his feet. The path of the ball from the time it hits the ground until it lands on the floor is represented by
f(x)= -(x-7)^2+20

Assuming that Cam's feet located at the origin, (0,0), what is the maximum height of the ball in (feet)?​

Answers

Answer:

20 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the term -(x-7)^2 is negative, the largest height that the ball can reach is when this term is 0. 0+20=20, meaning that the highest the ball can go is 20 feet. Hope this helps!

Answer:  20 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex form of a quadratic equation is: y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) is the vertex

h is the axis of symmetry (time at which maximum height is reached)

k is the maximum height

Given: y = -(x - 7)² + 20

--> h = 7, k = 20

therefore, the maximum height of the ball is 20

A certain virus is dying off at a rate of 18% per hour. Initially there were
40,000 grams of the strain. If this continues at this rate, how much of the
strain would still be alive after 48 hours? (Round your answer to the
nearest whole number.) *

Answers

Answer:

3 strain would still alive after 48 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial population of virus = 40000 grams

A certain virus is dying off at a rate of 18% per hour.

We are supposed to find  how much of the  strain would still be alive after 48 hours

Formula : [tex]N(t)=N_0(1-r)^t[/tex]

[tex]N_0[/tex]=Initial population

N(t)= Population after t hours

r = rate of decrease = 18% = 0.18

t = time = 48 hours

So,the  strain would still be alive after 48 hours=[tex]40000(1-0.18)^{48}=2.91 \sim 3[/tex]

Hence 3 strain would still alive after 48 hours

work out the difference between the bonus that tom gets and the bonus that sally gets

Answers

Answer:

The difference between the bonus is £2.6

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to calculate the amount that Tom get for his bonus. So you have to multiply 30% to £96 :

[tex] \frac{30}{100} \times 96 = 28.8[/tex]

Next, you have to subtract Tom's amount from Sally's amount because Sally has the higher amount of bonus than Tom :

x = -1

Thus, the number has to be smaller than -1.

The smallest integer that makes the given inequality true is 0.

What is Linear Inequalities?

Linear inequalities are defined as those expressions which are connected by inequality signs like >, <, ≤, ≥ and ≠ and the value of the exponent of the variable is 1.

Given inequality,

-3x + 7 - 5x < 15

We have to find the value of x.

(-3x - 5x) + 7 < 15

-8x < 8

Dividing whole sides by -1, the inequality sign changes.

x > -1

Smallest possible value is 0.

Hence the smallest posible value is 0.

Solve the following quadratic equation.
(x - 16)^2 = 256

A. x = -32 and x = 0
B. x = 30 and x = -4
C. x = -30 and x = 4
D. x = 32 and x = 0

Answers

The answer is D. x = 32 and x = 0

Answer: D. x = 32 and x = 0

============================================================

Explanation:

Think of x-16 as y. In other words, let y = x-16

We have (x-16)^2 = 256 become y^2 = 256.

Solve for y to get y = 16 or y = -16. You apply the square root to both sides. Don't forget about the plus/minus. This is because (-16)^2 = (-16)*(-16) = 256. We square the negative as well.

--------

If y = 16, then y = x-16 solves for x to get

y = x-16

16 = x-16

x-16 = 16

x = 16+16

x = 32 is one solution

---------

Plug in y = -16 and isolate x

y = x-16

x-16 = y

x-16 = -16

x = -16+16

x = 0 is the other solution

----------

We can check each answer by plugging them back into the original equation

Let's try x = 0

(x-16)^2 = 256

(0-16)^2 = 256

(-16)^2 = 256

256 = 256 ... works

Now try x = 32

(x-16)^2 = 256

(32-16)^2 = 256

(16)^2 = 256

256 = 256 ... also works; both answers have been confirmed
