The length of a rectangle is four meters less than twice it's width. If the area of the rectangle is 96 square meters what is the width?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: (I'm sorry if this is not the right answer)

The width = 8 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The length: a (m)

The width: b (m)

We cannot have a negative length and a negative width: a>b>0

Eq. I: a=2b-4

Eq. II: ab=96

Substitute the value of a from Eq. I into Eq. II: (2b-4).b=96

Solve for b:

(2b-4).b=96

2[tex]b^{2}[/tex]-4b-96=0

[tex]b^{2}[/tex]-2b-48=0

[tex]b^{2}[/tex]+6b-8b-48=0

b.(b+6)-8.(b+6)=0

(b+6).(b-8)=0

b=8; b=-6

As mentioned above, b>0. Therefore, b=8

Conclusion: if the area of the rectangle is 96 square meters then its width is 8 meters.

Answer 2

The width of the given rectangle is 8 units.

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.

Area of rectangle = length × width.

Perimeter of rectangle = 2( length + width).

Let's say the length of the rectangle is L and the width is W

Given that,

The length of a rectangle is four meters less than twice its width.

So,

L = 2W - 4

And,

Area = 96 square meter

LW = 96

Now by substituting

2W² - 4W = 96

W² - 2W - 48 = 0

W² -8W + 6W - 48 = 0

W(W - 8) + 6(W - 8) = 0

(W + 6)(W - 8) = 0

W = 8, -6 since distance cannot be negative so it will be 6 meters.

Hence "The width of the given rectangle is 8 units".

DQ = [tex]\frac{5}{(2-\sqrt{x})(2-\sqrt{x+h})(\sqrt{x}-\sqrt{x+h})}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function is f(x) = [tex]\frac{5}{2-\sqrt{x}}[/tex]

f(x + h) = [tex]\frac{5}{2-\sqrt{x+h} }[/tex]

Therefore, indicated difference quotient will be,

DQ = [tex]\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}[/tex]

Now we substitute the values in the difference quotient,

DQ = [tex]\frac{\frac{5}{2-\sqrt{x+h} }-\frac{5}{2-\sqrt{x}}}{h}[/tex]

      = [tex]\frac{5(2-\sqrt{x})-5(2-\sqrt{x+h})}{h(2-\sqrt{x})(2-\sqrt{x+h})}[/tex]

      = [tex]\frac{10-5\sqrt{x}-10+5\sqrt{x+h}}{h(2-\sqrt{x})(2-\sqrt{x+h})}[/tex]

      = [tex]\frac{-5\sqrt{x}+5\sqrt{x+h}}{h(2-\sqrt{x})(2-\sqrt{x+h})}[/tex]

      = [tex]\frac{5(-\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{x+h})}{h(2-\sqrt{x})(2-\sqrt{x+h})}[/tex]

      = [tex]\frac{5[(x+h)-x]}{h(2-\sqrt{x})(2-\sqrt{x+h})(\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{x+h})}[/tex]

      = [tex]\frac{5h}{h(2-\sqrt{x})(2-\sqrt{x+h})(\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{x+h})}[/tex]

Find the standard equation of a sphere that has diameter with the end points given below. (3,-2,4) (7,12,4)

Answers

Answer:

The standard equation of the sphere is [tex](x-5)^{2} + (y-5)^{2} + (z-4)^{2} = 53[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, the end point are (3,-2,4) and (7,12,4)

Since we know the end points of the diameter, we can determine the center (midpoint of the two end points) of the sphere.

The midpoint can be calculated thus

Midpoint = [tex](\frac{x_{1} + x_{2} }{2}, \frac{y_{1} + y_{2} }{2}, \frac{z_{1} + z_{2} }{2})[/tex]

Let the first endpoint be represented as [tex](x_{1}, y_{1}, z_{1})[/tex] and the second endpoint be [tex](x_{2}, y_{2}, z_{2})[/tex].

Hence,

Midpoint = [tex](\frac{x_{1} + x_{2} }{2}, \frac{y_{1} + y_{2} }{2}, \frac{z_{1} + z_{2} }{2})[/tex]

Midpoint = [tex](\frac{3 + 7 }{2}, \frac{-2+12 }{2}, \frac{4 + 4 }{2})[/tex]

Midpoint = [tex](\frac{10 }{2}, \frac{10}{2}, \frac{8 }{2})\\[/tex]

Midpoint = [tex](5, 5, 4)[/tex]

This is the center of the sphere.

Now, we will determine the distance (diameter) of the sphere

The distance is given by

[tex]d = \sqrt{(x_{2} - x_{1})^{2} +(y_{2} - y_{1})^{2} + (z_{2}- z_{1})^{2} }[/tex]

[tex]d = \sqrt{(7 - 3)^{2} +(12 - -2)^{2} + (4- 4)^{2}[/tex]

[tex]d = \sqrt{(4)^{2} +(14)^{2} + (0)^{2}[/tex]

[tex]d = \sqrt{16 +196 + 0[/tex]

[tex]d =\sqrt{212}[/tex]

[tex]d = 2\sqrt{53}[/tex]

This is the diameter

To find the radius, r

From [tex]Radius = \frac{Diameter}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Radius = \frac{2\sqrt{53} }{2}[/tex]

∴ [tex]Radius = \sqrt{53}[/tex]

r = [tex]\sqrt{53}[/tex]

Now, we can write the standard equation of the sphere since we know the center and the radius

Center of the sphere is [tex](5, 5, 4)[/tex]

Radius of the sphere is [tex]\sqrt{53}[/tex]

The equation of a sphere of radius r and center [tex](h,k,l)[/tex] is given by

[tex](x-h)^{2} + (y-k)^{2} + (z-l)^{2} = r^{2}[/tex]

Hence, the equation of the sphere of radius [tex]\sqrt{53}[/tex] and center [tex](5, 5, 4)[/tex] is

[tex](x-5)^{2} + (y-5)^{2} + (z-4)^{2} = \sqrt{(53} )^{2}[/tex]

[tex](x-5)^{2} + (y-5)^{2} + (z-4)^{2} = 53[/tex]

This is the standard equation of the sphere

The shaded set of numbers shown on the x-axis can be expressed in interval notation as _____

Answers

Answer:  [1, 4)

This is basically saying [tex]1 \le x < 4[/tex]

The square bracket says "include this endpoint" while the curved parenthesis means "exclude this endpoint". We can tell what is included/excluded based on how the endpoint is drawn.

Open circle = exclude endpoint

Closed/filled in circle = include endpoint

Your teacher has also drawn a square bracket at the left endpoint, and a curved parenthesis at the right endpoint. This style of drawing the endpoints helps set up [1, 4). Though sometimes you might see the use of open/closed circles instead for the endpoints. I'm referring to the number line portion.

We want to express the shaded set of numbers on the x-axis with interval notation.

The interval notation is:

[1, 4)

Let's start by analyzing the graph.

We have two ends, one at x = 1, with a colored dot, which means that that value belongs to the set.

We have the other end at x = 4, with a white dot, which means that the value does not belong to the set.

Then the interval notation is:

[1, 4)

Where [] are used for colored dots.

() are used for white dots.

The required number line represents 2 whole intervals (16/8) and then 7 more parts (7/8) from 0, and ends up at the point marked 2 3/8.

What is Number Line?

In math, a number line can be defined as a straight line with numbers arranged at equal segments or intervals throughout. A number line is typically shown horizontally and can be extended indefinitely in any direction.

To add fractions with different denominators, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, we can use 8 as the common denominator:

1/4 + -21/8

1/4 - 21/8

2/8 - 21/8

-19/8

-2 3/8

To represent 19/8 on a number line, we need to divide the interval between 0 and 3 into 8 equal parts, and then count 23 of these parts from 0.

The number line would look something like below as shown.

Thus, the required number line represents 2 whole intervals (16/8) and then 7 more parts (7/8) from 0, and ends up at the point marked 2 3/8.

What is 10x-2(x+6)=52 ?

Answers

Answer:x=8

Step-by-step explanation:Reorder the terms:

10x + -2(6 + x) = 52

10x + (6 * -2 + x * -2) = 52

10x + (-12 + -2x) = 52

Reorder the terms:

-12 + 10x + -2x = 52

Combine like terms: 10x + -2x = 8x

-12 + 8x = 52

Solving

-12 + 8x = 52

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '12' to each side of the equation.

-12 + 12 + 8x = 52 + 12

Combine like terms: -12 + 12 = 0

0 + 8x = 52 + 12

8x = 52 + 12

Combine like terms: 52 + 12 = 64

8x = 64

Divide each side by '8'.

show that n(n+1)(n+2) is divisible by 6
Solution
(​

Answers

Proof by induction

Base case:

n=1: 1*2*3=6 is obviously divisible by six.

Assumption: For every n>1 n(n+1)(n+2) is divisible by 6.

For n+1:

(n+1)(n+2)(n+3)=

(n(n+1)(n+2)+3(n+1)(n+2))

We have assumed that n(n+1)(n+2) is divisble by 6.

We now only need to prove that 3(n+1)(n+2) is divisible by 6.

If 3(n+1)(n+2) is divisible by 6, then (n+1)(n+2) must be divisible by 2.

The "cool" part about this proof.

Since n is a natural number greater than 1 we can say the following:

If n is an odd number, then n+1 is even, then n+1 is divisible by 2 thus (n+1)(n+2) is divisible by 2,so we have proved what we wanted.

If n is an even number" then n+2 is even, then n+1 is divisible by 2 thus (n+1)(n+2) is divisible by 2,so we have proved what we wanted.

Therefore by using the method of mathematical induction we proved that for every natural number n, n(n+1)(n+2) is divisible by 6. QED.

An oil tanker can be emptied by the main pump in 4 hours. An auxiliary pump can empty the tanker in 11 hours. If the main pump is started at 7 PM​, when should the auxiliary pump be started so that the tanker is emptied by 10 PM​?

Answers

Answer:

The pump should be added by 8PM

Step-by-step explanation:

An oil tanker can be emptied by the main pump in 4 hours.

An auxiliary pump can empty the tanker in 11 hours.

the main pump is started at 7 PM,and we have 10 PM - 7PM = 3 hours to empty the tank.

So we have to look for the combined rate of the both pumps .

Let's say the volume= x

Rate of first pump= x/4

Rate of second pump= x/11

The rate will be added together

Combined rate= x/11 + x/4

Combined rate= 15x/44

But they have three hours to complete their pump

15x/44 = 3

X=1.0227

The pump should be added by 8PM
