The width of a rectangle is the length minus 4 units. The area of the rectangle is 12 units. What is the width, in units, of the rectangle?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

the width is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

you divide the 4 by 12

Answer 2

Answer:

2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = Length × Width of a rectangle

If Length = L

Width = L-4

So 12 units = L×(L-4)

12 = L^2 -4L

L^2 -4L -12=0

Simplify this equation

L^2 + 2L -6L -12 = 0

L( L+2) - 6(L+2) = 0

(L+2) (L-6) = 0

L+2 =0 Or L-6=0

L=-2 Or L= +6

But L can't take a negative value

therefore L= 6

Now if we substitute and check,

L× (L-4) = 6×2=12 units

width = 6-4 =2 units

Identify the point that is not on the line 15x + 60y = 180
a (4,2) c (12, 1)
b (0,3) d (8, 1)

Answers

Answer:

c

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute the coordinates of the points into the left side of the equation and if equal to the right side then the point lies on the line.

(4, 2 ) → 15(4) + 60(2) = 60 + 120 = 180 ← point on line

(12, 1 ) → 15(12) + 60(1) = 180 + 60 = 240 ← point not on line

(0, 3 ) → 15(0) + 60(3) = 0 + 180 = 180 ← point on line

(8, 1 ) → 15(8) + 60(1) = 120 + 60 = 180 ← point on line

The point (12, 1 ) is not on the line → c

Suppose that $2000 is placed in an account that pays 2% interest compounded each year. Assume that no withdrawals are made from the account.

Answers

The amount in the account after 1 year is $2,040.00

The amount in the account after 2 years is $2,080.80

What is future value of a single cash flow?

The future value of a single cash flow like the $2,000 is the future equivalent worth of the initial amount when interest earned is added to it.

The future value in this case can be determined as shown thus:

FV=PV*(1+r)^N

FV=unknown future value

PV=initial investment=$2000

r=interest rate=2%

N=years of investment , 1 and 2 years respectively

FV after one year:

FV=$2000*(1+2%)^1

FV=$2,040.00

FV after  two years:

FV=$2000*(1+2%)^2

FV=$2,080.80

The graph of f(x) = 2x is shown on the grid.

On a coordinate plane, an exponential function approaches y = 0 in quadrant 2 and increases into quadrant 1. It goes through points (0, 1), (1, 2), (2, 4).

The graph of g(x) = (One-half)x is the graph of f(x) = 2x reflected over the y-axis. Which graph represents g(x)?

On a coordinate plane, an exponential function approaches x = 0 in quadrant 4 and increases into quadrant 1.
On a coordinate plane, an exponential function decreases from quadrant 2 into quadrant 1 and approaches y = 0.
On a coordinate plane, an exponential function approaches y = 0 in quadrant 3 and curves down into quadrant 4.
On a coordinate plane, an exponential function approaches x = 0 in quadrant 1 and curves down and to the right into quadrant 4.

Answers

Answer:

Your answer would be the second option.

Explanation:

As it is looking for an exponential decay function, you must find one. As an exponential function has to be sloping negatively, you must find the graph that does just this. The only graph that does is graph number two. Henceforth your answer is graph number two, or B. (I also did this quiz, and got a 100%)

Hope This Helps!

The graph represents g(x) is B) On a coordinate plane, an exponential function decreases from quadrant 2 into quadrant 1 and approaches y = 0.

What is exponential growth or decay function?

Consider the function:

[tex]y = a(1\pm r)^m[/tex]

where m is the number of times this growth/decay occurs, a = initial amount, and r = fraction by which this growth/decay occurs.

If there is negative sign, then there is exponential decay happening by r fraction or 100r %

The graph of f(x) = 2x is shown.

it is looking for an exponential decay function, As an exponential function has to be sloping negatively.

Draw the graph of the equation by using the table shown below:

x      f(x)

-2      -4

-1       -2

0       0

The graph the exponential function approaches y = 0 in quadrant 1.

The function increases into quadrant 2 and It crosses the y-axis at (0, 1).

Hence, the correct option is B) On a coordinate plane, an exponential function decreases from quadrant 2 into quadrant 1 and approaches y = 0.

The time it takes for a rocket  to hit the ground is 3 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given equation for height as

where

x is the time in seconds

When object hits the ground

then height becomes 0

so, we can set h(x)=0

and then we can solve for x

Subtract both sides by 18

Answer:

a = 67° , b = 26° , c = 69°

Step-by-step explanation:

a and 67° are corresponding angles and are congruent , so

a = 67°

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

The triangle on the left has 3 equal sides thus is equilateral with 3 congruent angles of 60°

The exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the 2 opposite interior angles , that is

b + 34° = 60° ( subtract 34° from both sides )

b = 26°

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

The vertex of the triangle and 42° are vertically opposite and are congruent

vertex = 42°

The triangle has 2 equal legs and is isosceles with 2 base angles congruent.
