Answer:

w = 6in, l = 10in

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle is [tex]A=l*w[/tex]

and [tex]l = 4 + w[/tex]

We can solve for length and width by substituting these values for the equation.

[tex]60in^2=(4+w)*w[/tex]

[tex]60in^2=4w+w^2[/tex]

[tex]0 = w^2 + 4w + 60in^2[/tex]

factor out the equation.

[tex]0= (w+10)(w-6)[/tex]

therefore w = 6in (tossing out the negative solution)

which means

[tex]l = 4 + w[/tex]

[tex]l = 6in + 4[/tex]

l = [tex]10in[/tex]

Answer:

The cost of a specialty pizza is $19.49.

Step-by-step explanation:

To write a subtraction equation that could be used to find the cost c of a specialty pizza, we need to set up an equation that represents the relationship between the cost of a one-topping pizza and the cost of a specialty pizza.

The problem states that a one-topping pizza costs $6.50 less than a specialty pizza. Therefore, we can subtract $6.50 from the cost of a specialty pizza to get the cost of a one-topping pizza:

Cost of specialty pizza - $6.50 = Cost of one-topping pizza

We can rearrange this equation to solve for the cost of the specialty pizza:

Cost of specialty pizza = Cost of one-topping pizza + $6.50

Now, we can substitute the given value for the cost of a one-topping pizza:

Cost of specialty pizza = $12.99 + $6.50

Simplifying the expression, we get:

Cost of specialty pizza = $19.49

Therefore, the cost c of a specialty pizza is $19.49.

We can rewrite 3.1672 × 10¹² as 3.1672 × 10² The correct option is A

First we first express it as a number between 1 and 10 multiplied by a power of 10. In this case, 316.72 can be expressed as:

3.1672 × 10¹² (since we move the decimal point 2 places to the right to get to 31672)

However, in scientific notation, the exponent should represent the number of places the decimal point is moved. Since we moved the decimal point to the right, the exponent should be negative.

Therefore, we can rewrite 3.1672 × 10¹² as:

3.1672 × 10²

So, the answer is (A).

The point in which f(x) have a horizontal tangent are (-7 + √46)/3, (-7 - √46)/3

To find the values of x where the graph of f(x) has a horizontal tangent, we need to find where the derivative of f(x) is equal to zero (since the derivative gives the slope of the tangent line).

First, we find the derivative of f(x):

f'(x) = 3x² + 14x + 1

Next, we set f'(x) equal to zero and solve for x:

3x² + 14x + 1 = 0

Using the quadratic formula, we get:

x = (-14 ± √(14² - 431)) / (2*3)

x = (-14 ± √(184)) / 6

x = (-14 ± 2√46) / 6

Simplifying:

x = (-7 ± √46) / 3

Therefore, the values of x where the graph of f(x) has a horizontal tangent are (-7 + √46)/3 and (-7 - √46)/3.

Answer:

y= -x - 3 is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

An equation for a rational function with the given characteristics is found as:  f(X) = a(x+4)(x) / (x+2)(x-4).

As x = -2 and X = 4 have vertical asymptotes, the denominator will contain the equations (x+2) and (x-4)

The terms (x+4) and 1 will be in the numerator since the x intercepts are (-4,0) , respectively (x-0).

Our current formula is f(X) = a(x+4)(x) / (x+2)(x-4)

We examine the horizontal asymptote to determine the value of A.

The limit of a function as x -> infinity would be - 3 since the horizontal asymptote reflects what the function looks like as x approaches infinity.

Thus,  an equation for a rational function with the given characteristics is found as:  f(X) = a(x+4)(x) / (x+2)(x-4)

Answer:

  1/4 or 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the value of x in the infinite sum ...

  -1 +1/x +x +x² +x³ +...  = 10/3

for |x| < 1.

After the 2nd term, this looks like a geometric series with a common ratio of x. If we define the series sum as ...

  S = 1/x +1 +x +x² +x³ +...

we see that the equation of interest is ...

  S -2 = 10/3

The series sum is that of a geometric series with first term 1/x and common ratio x:

  S = (1/x)(1/(1 -x)) = 1/(x(1-x))

Substituting for S in the above, we have the equation ...

  1/(x(1-x)) -2 = 10/3

This resolves to a quadratic that will have 2 real roots:

  1/(x(1 -x)) = 16/3 . . . . add 2

  x(1 -x) = 3/16 . . . . . . . invert both sides

  x² -x +3/16 = 0 . . . . . .  subtract the left side expression

  (x -3/4)(x -1/4) = 0 . . . . . factor

Solutions are the values of x that make these factors zero:

To adjust the recipe to make 30 rolls instead of 12, we need to multiply the amount of each ingredient by a factor of 30/12 = 2.5.

A factor is a number or expression that divides another number or expression evenly without a remainder.

To adjust the recipe to make 30 rolls instead of 12, we need to multiply the amount of each ingredient by a factor of 30/12 = 2.5.

To determine this factor, we divide the desired number of rolls (30) by the original number of rolls (12):

2.5 = 30/12

To find the amounts of each ingredient needed to make 30 rolls, we multiply the original amounts by 2.5:

Yeast: 1/4 oz x 2.5 = 0.625 oz (or about 0.63 oz)

Warm water: 1 cup x 2.5 = 2.5 cups

Molasses: 3 tbsp x 2.5 = 7.5 tbsp (or about 1/2 cup + 1 tbsp)

Powdered milk: 1/3 cup x 2.5 = 0.83 cups (or about 3/4 cup + 1 tbsp)

Egg yolk: 1 beaten yolk x 2.5 = 2.5 beaten yolks (or about 2 yolks)

Egg white: 1 beaten white x 2.5 = 2.5 beaten whites (or about 2 whites)

Bread flour: 3 1/2 cups x 2.5 = 8.75 cups (or about 8 3/4 cups)

Butter: 6 tbsp x 2.5 = 15 tbsp (or about 1 cup - 1 tbsp)

Salt: 1 tsp x 2.5 = 2.5 tsp (or about 2 1/2 tsp)

Whole wheat flour: 1/2 cup x 2.5 = 1.25 cups (or about 1 1/4 cups)

Raisins: 1/3 cup x 2.5 = 0.83 cups (or about 3/4 cup + 1 tbsp)

To make 30 rolls, you will need 0.625 oz (or about 0.63 oz) of yeast.

To make 30 rolls, you will need 0.83 cups (or about 3/4 cup + 1 tbsp) of powdered milk.

To make 30 rolls, you will need 15 tbsp (or about 1 cup - 1 tbsp) of butter.

To make 30 rolls, you will need 8.75 cups (or about 8 3/4 cups) of bread flour, which is 8.75 - 1.25 = 7.5 cups more than the 1.25 cups of whole wheat flour needed.

If you put in 3/8 cup of water instead of the 1/4 cup called for in the original recipe, you have added an extra 3/8 - 1/4 = 1/8 cup of water, or 2 tablespoons of water.

I believe this is the answer to the question  

Applying the definition of variation, we have:

1. When x = 36, y = 6.

2. When x = 1, y = 27.

3. It takes 3 seconds for the object to fall 144 feet.

4. Length of a string that vibrates 64 times per second is 48 inches.

Inverse variation is a type of relationship between two variables in which one variable increases while the other decreases, or vice versa, in a way that the product of the two variables remains constant.

In other words, if we have two variables x and y that are inversely proportional, we can write:

x × y = k, where k is a constant.

1. We are given that y varies directly as the square root of x. This means that we can write:

y = k√x

where k is a constant of proportionality. To find the value of k, we can use the given information that when x = 16, y = 4:

4 = k√16

4 = 4k

k = 1

Now we can use this value of k to find y when x = 36:

y = 1√36

y = 6

Therefore, when x = 36, y = 6.

2. We are given that y varies inversely with the cube of x. This means that we can write:

y = k/x³

where k is a constant of proportionality. To find the value of k, we can use the given information that when x = 3, y = 1:

1 = k/3³

1 = k/27

k = 27

Now we can use this value of k to find y when x = 1:

y = 27/1³

y = 27

Therefore, when x = 1, y = 27.

3. We are given that the distance that an object falls varies directly with the square of the time, t, of the fall. This means that we can write:

d = kt²

where d is the distance, k is a constant of proportionality, and t is the time. To find the value of k, we can use the given information that when t = 1, d = 16:

16 = k(1)²

16 = k

k = 16

Now we can use this value of k to find the time it takes for the object to fall 144 feet:

144 = 16t²

9 = t²

t = 3

Therefore, it takes 3 seconds for the object to fall 144 feet.

4. We are given that the rate of vibration of a string under constant tension varies inversely with the length of the string. This means that we can write:

r = k/L

where r is the rate of vibration, L is the length of the string, and k is a constant of proportionality.

To find the value of k, we can use the given information that when L = 24 inches, r = 128 vibrations per second:

128 = k/24

k = 3072

Now we can use this value of k to find the length of a string that vibrates 64 times per second:

64 = 3072/L

L = 48 inches

Therefore, the length of a string that vibrates 64 times per second is 48 inches.

Therefore, the value of hydraulic conductivity using the Thiem equation is approximately 10.67 ft/day.

An equation is a mathematical statement that indicates that two expressions are equal. It typically consists of variables, constants, and mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The expressions on both sides of the equation are separated by an equal sign "=" which means that the two expressions have the same value. Equations are used to model relationships between variables, solve problems, and make predictions in various fields of science, engineering, economics, and mathematics. They are an essential tool in algebra, calculus, and other branches of mathematics.

Here,

To compute the value of hydraulic conductivity using the Thiem equation, we need to substitute the given values into the equation:

K = (Q / π) * ((h2 - h1) / log(r2/r1))

where:

Q = pumping rate = 78,000 ft³/d

h1 = head at the pumping well = 260 ft ASL

h2 = head at the observation well 385 ft away = 291 ft ASL

r1 = distance from the pumping well to the observation well 125 ft away = 125 ft

r2 = distance from the pumping well to the observation well 385 ft away = 385 ft

Substituting the values, we get:

K = (78,000 / π) * ((291 - 260) / log(385/125))

K = 10.67 ft/day

Okay so you want to make all of the fractions have a common denominator. Think of the lowest number that 3 and 5 go into, the answer you should get is 15. So 15 is the common denominator.

Now we're going to make 1/3 have a denominator of 15. 1/3 of 15 would be 5. You get that by figuring out what you have to multiply 3 by to get 15 which is 5. Then you multiply 5 and 1 and you get 5.  The answer you will get will be 5/15 which is equal to 1/3.

Next we're going to make 4/5 have a denominator of 15. 4/5 of 15 would be 12/15. You can get this by figuring out what you have to multiply 5 by to get 15 which is 3. Then you take 3 and multiply it by 4 to get that 12 in 12/15. The answer 12/15 is equal to 4/5 of 15.

So now you have 5/15 + a = 12/15.

The denominator of the fraction that "a" will be is 15 because that is what we made the common denominator.

So what we have is 5/15 + x/15 = 12/15.

Think of what you have to add to 5 to get 12. (The answer is 7)

So a is equal to 7/15

Your final answer should be 5/15 + 7/15 = 12/15

The percent of the bottle of apple juice is 40%.

An element of a whole number is a fraction. There are many different kinds of fractions. Three-quarters, for instance, is a fraction.

A decimal point separates a fractional component from an integral component to form a decimal. In the decimal 2.5, for instance, the fractional portion comes after the decimal point and is followed by the integer 2, which is put before it.

Per cent simply means one in a hundred. Hence, it is a number with a fractional representation that has a denominator of 100. As a result, fractions of a whole number are also described using percentages.

Given that, 80-ounce bottle of apple juice contains 32 ounces of water.

2x + 1 = y

2x = y - 1

x = (y - 1)/2

substitute x = (y - 1)/2 into equ 2

2x - y = 3

2((y-1)/2) - y = 3

(2y - 2)/2 - y = 3

y - 1 - y = 3

y - y = 3 + 1

0 = 4

Hello and best regards sanungapatricio1985

This equation has no solution, since -1 cannot be equal to 3. Therefore, the system has no solution.

We have the following equations:

                ⇒ y = 2x + 1

                ⇒ 2x - y = 3

The substitution method is a common method for solving systems of linear equations. It consists of isolating one of the variables from one of the equations and substituting the expression obtained in the other equation to eliminate that variable and obtain an equation with a single variable, which can be solved to find the value of that variable. Then, the found solution can be substituted into any of the original equations to find the value of the other variable.

From the first equation we have a good substitution candidate:

                ⇒ y = 2x + 1

Now we have to plug y = 2x + 1 found from the first equation, into the second equation 2x - y = 3, to find that:

                ⇒ 2x - y = 3

                ⇒ 2x - (2x + 1) = 3

                ⇒ 2x - 2x - 1 = 3

Based on the previous results, the system has no solution.

To determine the distance of the foot of the ladder from the wall, we can use trigonometry. Let's call the distance we want to find "x".

First, let's draw a diagram:

          |\

          | \

   20   |  \ x

          |   \

          |____\

           40°

In this diagram, the ladder is the hypotenuse of a right triangle, and the distance we want to find ("x") is one of the legs. The other leg is the height of the ladder on the wall, which we don't need to know in order to solve the problem.

We can use the trigonometric function for the sine of an angle to relate the angle of elevation to the distance "x" and the length of the ladder:

sin(40°) = x / 20

To solve for "x", we can multiply both sides by 20:

20 sin(40°) = x

Using a calculator, we can evaluate the sine of 40 degrees to get:

20 sin(40°) ≈ 12.85

So the distance of the foot of the ladder from the wall is approximately 12.85 meters, rounded to two decimal places.
