USE THE SQUARE ROOT PROPERTY!!!!!

the sides of a square are reduced by 2 inches. the new area is 20 square inches. Set up and solve an equation to find the original length of the square

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x = original length of one side

(x-2)² = 20 inches²

x-2 = ±√20 = ±2√5

x = 2±2√5

2-2√5 is an extraneous solution,

so x = 2±2√5 ≈ 6.47 inches

30 books on the shelf are Fiction.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey!

There are 50 books on a shelf.

1/5 of the books are Science Fiction.3/10 are Non-Fiction.The Rest are Fiction.

how many books on the shelf are Fiction?

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

MAKE AN EQUATION!

We know that there are three Categories: Fiction, Science Fiction, and Non Fiction.

Total- 50

50 =

1/5 of 50 are SF

50 = (1/5)(50)

3/10 of 50 are NF

50 = (1/5)(50) + (3/10)(50) + x

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SOLVE THE EQUATION!

(1/5)(50) + (3/10)(50) + x = 50

To Isolate X-

  -Multiply and remove the parentheses..

50/10 + 150/10 + x = 50

   -Simplify.

5 + 15 + x = 50

   -Add Like Terms

20 + x = 50

     -Subtract 20 from both sides.

20 + x - 20 = 50 - 20

      -Simplify Right Hand Side.

x =  30

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, 30 books on the shelf are Fiction.

Mr. Chang buys supplies for the school store. He bought 300 pencils on sale for $10. During the first three months of school, he sold 200 pencils and made $50. The other pencils were thrown away because they were broken. How much profit did Mr. Chang make on the pencils?

Answers

Answer:

$40

Step-by-step explanation:

He bought the pencils for $10, so his expense was $10. He sold the pencils for $50, and $50 - $10 is $40, and that's the total amount of money he made.

Answer:

triangle side = 0.54

so both triangle sides = 1.08

and then the sides (1.5 * 3.5) * 2 = 10.5

the last side = 0.9 * 3.5 = 3.15

so add it all  3.15 + 10.5 +  1.08

total area = 14.73 m^2

Part 2)  5 hr

Part 2)  Equate the two pay equations:  20H = 10H + 50

             Subtract 10H from both sides:  10H = 50

              Then H = 5.  

               After 5 hours, each would have earned the same    amount.

Which of the following represents a Pythagorean Triple? 1 {10, 20, 30} {5, 7, 10} {21, 72, 75} {11, 45, 60}

Answers

Answer:

F=dA  

dF=0  

d⋆F=⋆J  

where in fact the second equality is not needed because of the identity  d2=0 . In abstract tensor notation, these equations expand to

Fab=2∇[aAb]  

∇[aFbc]=0  

∇aFab=Jb  

where in the above, additional compact notation has been used to simplify things: square brackets mean antisymmetrizing indices, and the covariant derivative  ∇a  is related to a flat derivative  ∂a  and a connection  Γbac . Now, performing a 3+1 decomposition (here in flat space-time) Maxwell's equations break down as

∇⋅B⃗ =0  

∇⋅E⃗ =4πρ  

∂B⃗ ∂t=−∇×B⃗  

∂E⃗ ∂t=+∇×B⃗ −4πJ⃗ .  

In the above, there is yet more compactifying notation: the divergence is defined as

∇⋅v⃗ =∂vi∂xi  

and the curl is defined as

(∇×v⃗ )i=ϵijk∂vk∂xj.  

In the above, still more compactifying notation has been used, namely the Einstein summation convention. Written out in components, the divergence is

∇⋅v⃗ =∂vx∂x+∂vy∂y+∂vz∂z  

and curl is defined as

(∇×v⃗ )z=∂vy∂x−∂vx∂y  

and similarly for the other two components.

As you can see, the extremely compact and powerful notation

dF=0  

d⋆F=⋆J  

expands out to a large set of component equations—but they have the same content, so it's not very meaningful that the equations in components are much longer than in terms of differential forms.

As another example, Elson Liu answered with an exploded-out form of the Standard Model Lagrangian. However, it can be written much more compactly:

L=LYM+LHiggs+Llep.+Lqrk.+LYuk.  

where

LYM=−14TrFabFab  

LHiggs=−(Daϕ†)(Daϕ)+14λ(ϕ†ϕ−12v2)2  

Llep.=iℓ†I/DℓI+ie¯†I/De¯I  

Lqrk.=iq†I/DqI+iu¯†I/Du¯+id¯†I/Dd¯I  

LYuk.=−yIJϕℓIe¯J−y′IJϕqId¯J  

−y′′IJϕ†qIu¯J+h.c.  

and specifying that F is the curvature on the gauge group  G≃SU(3)⊗SU(2)⊗U(1) ,  Da  is the gauge covariant derivative on G,  /D  is the gauge covariant Dirac operator on G, and specifying the representations of the fields: the scalar  ϕ  in the rep (1,2,-1/2), and the fermions  ℓ  in the rep (1,2,-1/2),  e¯  in (1,1,+1),  q  in (3,2,+1/6),  u¯  in  (3¯,1,−2/3) , and  d¯  in  (3¯,1,+1/3) ; where I is a generation index running over 1,2,3, and where everything else is a constant.

An outlier is a point of data in a data set that is far out from the median in the data set. In this case, almost all of the data points are from 0 minutes of exercise to 60 minutes, except for two that are more than double that.

It could "skew" the data, as if you were to calculate the mean (average), it would be shifted slightly higher by these two outliers.
