The dimensions of a rectangle is 30cm x 20cm. When each dimension is
decreased by the same amount, the area of the new rectangle is
100cm^2. What are the new dimensions of the new rectangle (round to
one decimal place)? Hint: you will need to use the quadratic equation.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The new dimensions are 6.18 cm by 16.18 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Original dimensions were 30 cm by 20 cm.

We decrease length and width by x and calculate the area:

Area = (length)(width)

        = (30 - x)(20 - x) = 100

Performing the indicated multiplication, we get:

600 - 30x - 20x + x^2 = 100, or, after simplification,

x^2 - 50x + 500 = 0

Let's solve this by completing the square:

x^2 - 50x + 500 = x^2 - 50x + 625 - 625 + 500 = 0

This simplifies to (x - 25)^2 - 125 = 0, or (x - 25)^2 = 125

Taking the square root of both sides, we get:

x - 25 = ±√125, or

x = 25 ± 5√5

The two results are x = 36.18 (not possible, because we DECREASED the original dimensions) and x = 13.82 (possible)

The dimensions of the new rectangle are

(30 - 13.82) cm by (20 - 13.82) cm, or

16.2 cm by 6.18 cm

Check:  With these dimensions is the area 100 cm^2, as expected?

(6.18)(16.18) = 99.9979    YES

At the beginning of year 1, Josie invests $400 at an annual compound interest rate of 5%. She makes no deposits to or withdrawals from the account. Which explicit formula can be used to find the account's balance at the beginning of year 3?
A. A(3) = 400 • (1 + 0.05)3 – 1
B. A(3) = 400 + (3 – 1)(0.05 • 400)
C. A(3) = 400 + (0.05 • 400)3 – 1
D. A(3) = 400 • (1 + 0.05)3

Answers

Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation:

Since she invested $400 in the beginning if the 1st year and we are asked to find the balance at the beginning of the third year, she earns interest only for the first two years. So, the formula will be

Amount = 400 (1 + 0.05) ^3-1

To find the balance in Josie's account at the beginning of the the third year we have to use A(3)=[tex]400*(1+0.05)^{3-1}[/tex]

What is Compound interest?

It is the interest calculated on the initial principal amount and the accumulated interest. The formula to calculate the sum after compound interest is

How to calculate sum when interest is compounding?

At the beginning of year 1, Josie invests $400 at an annual compound interest at the rate of 5%,then the amount at the beginning of year 3 is calculated as:

The amount in beginning of 1 year=$400

The amount at the end of the year 1=400+400*0.05=400(1+0.05)

The amount at the end of year 2=400(1+0.05)+400(1+0.05)*0.05

=[tex]400(1+0.05)^{2}[/tex]

=[tex]400(1+0.05)^{3-1}[/tex]

(03.02 MC) Some researchers claim there is an association between getting a tattoo and contracting hepatitis C. They took a random sample of people living in Los Angeles, California, and recorded whether they had a tattoo and whether they were infected with hepatitis C. The results are shown in the following two-way table: Has Hepatitis C Does Not Have Hepatitis C Does not have a tattoo 5 50 Has one tattoo 10 210 Has more than one tattoo 15 150 If a person is chosen at random, what is the probability that he or she has hepatitis C, given that he or she has one tattoo? (2 points) Select one: a. 0.045 b. 0.333 c. 0.05 d. 0.50

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is (b) 0.333.

Step-by-step explanation:

The data provided is as follows:

                        Hepatitis C           No hepatitis C           Total

No Tattoos              5                             50                        55

 1 Tattoo                 10                           210                      220

> 1 Tattoo                15                           150                       165

   Total                   30                           410                       440

The probability of an event E is the ratio of the favorable number of outcomes to the total number of outcomes.

[tex]P(E)=\frac{n(E)}{N}[/tex]

The condition probability of an event A provided that another event X has already occurred is:

[tex]P(A|X)=\frac{P(A\cap X)}{P(X)}[/tex]

The number of people who has hepatitis C is:

n (Hepatitis C) = 30

The number of people who has hepatitis C and one tattoo is:

n (Hepatitis C and 1 Tattoo) = 10

Compute the probability that he or she has hepatitis C, given that he or she has one tattoo as follows:

[tex]P(\text{Hepatitis C} |\text{1 Tattoo})=\frac{n(\text{Hepatitis C and 1 Tattoo})}{n(\text{1 Tattoo})}[/tex]

                                       [tex]=\frac{10}{30}\\\\=\frac{1}{3}\\\\=0.333[/tex]

Thus, the correct option is (b).

The probability that he or she has hepatitis C, given that he or she has one tattoo will be 0.333. Then the correct option is B.

What is probability?

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

The table is given below.

                       Hepatitis C           No hepatitis C           Total

No Tattoos              5                             50                        55

1 Tattoo                 10                           210                      220

> 1 Tattoo                15                           150                       165

  Total                   30                           410                       440

The number of people who has hepatitis C is 30. And the number of people who has hepatitis C and one tattoo is 10.

The probability that he or she has hepatitis C, given that he or she has one tattoo will be

P = 10/30

P = 1/3

P = 0.333

The probability that he or she has hepatitis C, given that he or she has one tattoo will be 0.333. Then the correct option is B.

Answer:

adult = £7 and child = £2

Step-by-step explanation:

let a represent adult ticket and c child ticket, then

2a + 3c = 20 → (1)

a + 4c = 15 → (2)

Multiply (2) by - 2 and add to (1) to eliminate a

- 2a - 8c = - 30 → (3)

Add (1) and (3) term by term

- 5c = - 10 ( divide both sides by - 5 )

c = 2

Substitute c = 2 into either of the 2 equations and solve for a

Substituting into (1)

2a + 3(2) = 20

2a + 6 = 20 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

2a = 14 ( divide both sides by 2 )

a = 7

The price (p), in cents, of a sweet is directly proportional to the mass (m) of the

(a) the equation connecting p and m.
(b) the mass, in grams, of a sweet which cost 540 cents,
(c) the cost of a sweet in cents, with a mass of 115 g

Answers

The equation for constant proportionality is:

a = k • b where k is the constant

Since we are given the letter variables, replace a and b.

p = k • m

Part (a)

We know p = 55 cents when m = 220g, insert those values in equation:

55 = k • 220

55/220 = k

k = 1/4

Therefore, equation connecting p and m is:

p = 1/4 • m

Part (b)

We know p = 540 and we know k ( constant term )

540 = 1/4 • m

540 x 4 = m

m = 2160g

Part (c)

We know m = 115g, k is constant and therefore remains 1/4

p = 1/4 x 115g = 28.75 cents

Matemáticamente;

Área de decágono = 1/2 * perímetro * apotema

Donde perímetro = 10 * s

donde s es la longitud de los lados

Entonces el área aquí sería; 1/2 * 10 (3.3) * 5.08 = 83.82 cm ^ 2

el perimetro de un terreno rectangular es de 170m y su area es de 170^2hallar la medida de sus lados con ecuacion cuadratica

Answers

Answer:

Acá tenemos un sistema de ecuaciones.

El perímetro de un rectángulo es:

2*A + 2*L = 170m

donde A es el ancho y L es el largo.

Y el área del rectángulo es:

A*L = 170m^2.

Entonces, el primer paso es aislar una de las variables en una de las ecuaciones, yo voy a aislar A en la segunda:

A = 170m^2/L.

Ahora reemplazo eso en la primera ecuación y la resuelvo para L.

2*( 170m^2/L.) + 2*L = 170m.

340m^2 + 2*L^2 = 170m*L

ahora tenemos una ecuación cuadrática:

2*L^2 - 170m*L + 340m^2 = 0.

Las soluciones se pueden obtener usando la formula de Bhaskara:

[tex]L = \frac{+170 +- \sqrt{170^2 -4*340*2} }{2*2} = \frac{170 +-161.8}{4}[/tex]

Entonces las soluciones son:

L = (170 + 161.8)/4 = 82.95m

L = (170 - 161.8)/4 = 4.1m

Entonces, si tomamos L = 82.95m, tenemos A = 4.1 m

y el área es:

A*L = 4.1m*82.95m = 170m^2

Complete Question

Natalie has 8 socks in a drawer.

5 of the socks are black.

3 of the socks are white.

Natalie takes out a sock at random, writes down its colour and puts it back into

the drawer. Then Natalie takes out a second sock, at random, and writes down its colour.

Work out the probability that the two socks are of the same colour.​

Solution

This is a probability that involves replacement.

Probability of an event is given as the number of elements in the event divided by the total number of elements in the sample space.

If the event that a black socks is picked = P(B)

Then, the event that a white socks is picked = P(W)

P(B) = n(B) ÷ n(S)

n(B) = 5

n(S) = 8

P(B) = (5/8)

P(W) = n(W) ÷ n(S) = (3/8)

Probability that the two socks picked by Natalie are of the same colours = (Probability that the two socks picked are black) + (Probability that the two socks picked by Natalie are white)

Probability that the two socks picked are black = (5/8) × (5/8) (since the socks are picked and replaced, the probability stays the same)

= (25/64)

Probability that the two socks picked by Natalie are white = (3/8) × (3/8) = (9/64)

Probability that the two socks picked by Natalie are of the same colours

= (25/64) + (9/64)

= (34/64)

= (17/32) = 0.53125
