What is the area of a rectangle whose width is n feet and who’s length is 2 feet more than 3 times it’s width in terms of n?

In 6 years Juan will have the double of Carlos age.

The ages of each one are:

Carlos = 18 years old.

Juan = 42 years old.

In x years, they will have:

C = 18 + x

J = 42 + x

Carlos will have the double of Juan's age when:

J = 2*C

Replacing the equations we will get the linear equation:

42 + x = 2*(18  + x)

Solving for x we will get:

42 +x = 36 + 2x

Solving for x:

42 - 36 = 2x - x

6 = x

So Juan will have the double of Carlos age in 6 years.

Answer:

The missing variable θ is equal to (11π)/8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

ω = π/8 radian per min

t = 11 min

Step 1: Identify the formula and the missing variable.

The formula is ω = (θ/t), and we are trying to find the value of θ.

Step 2: Rearrange the formula to solve for the missing variable.

To isolate θ, we can multiply both sides of the equation by t:

ω * t = θ

Step 3: Substitute the given values.

Substituting the given values into the rearranged formula, we have:

θ = (π/8) * 11

Step 4: Simplify the expression.

To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators and multiply the denominators:

θ = (π * 11) / (8 * 1)

θ = (11π) / 8

Step 5: Finalize the answer.

The value of the missing variable θ is (11π)/8. This is the exact answer unless otherwise indicated.

Therefore, the step-by-step process shows that the missing variable θ is equal to (11π)/8.

In the above table, we first list all possible truth values for P and Q and then determine the truth values for ~Q, ~Q → P, and ~P based on these values. Finally, we evaluate the logical statement (~Q → P) ⋀ ~P based on the truth values for (~Q → P) and ~P to determine the overall truth value of the statement for each combination of P and Q.

The output of the above truth table shows that the statement (~Q → P) ⋀ ~P is true only in one case when P is false and Q is true. In all other cases, the statement is false.

Answer:

(a) - [tex]y=-2x+18[/tex]

(b) - [tex]y=\frac{1}{2} x-\frac{9}{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation of a line, which we'll call line 1, find the following.

(a) - The equation of a line, which we'll call line 2, that is parallel to line 1 and travels through the point (9,0)

(b) - The equation of a line, which we'll call line 3, that is perpendicular to line 1 and travels through the point (9,0)

Given:

[tex]3y+6x=-6[/tex]

(1) - Write the equation of line 1 in slope-intercept form

[tex]\boxed{\left\begin{array}{ccc}\text{\underline{Slope-Intercept Form:}}\\y=mx+b\\\bullet \ m \ \text{is the slope of the line}\\\bullet \ b \ \text{is the y-intercept of the line}\end{array}\right}[/tex]

[tex]3y+6x=-6\\\\\Longrightarrow 3y=-6-6x\\\\\Longrightarrow y=-\frac{6}{3} -\frac{6}{3}x \\\\\therefore \boxed{y=-2x-2}[/tex]

Thus, we can conclude the slope of line 1 is -2.

(2) - Answering part (a)

To find a line that is parallel to line 1, the slopes must be the same, -2. Use the point-slope form for a line to find the equation for line 2.

[tex]\boxed{\left\begin{array}{ccc}\text{\underline{Point-Slope Form:}}\\y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\\bullet \ m \ \text{is the slope of the line}\\\bullet \ (x_1,y_1) \ \text{is a point the line passes through}\end{array}\right}[/tex]

[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1); \ \text{Recall that} \ m=-2 \ \text{and} \ (x_1,y_1)=(9,0)\\\\\Longrightarrow y-0=-2(x-9)\\\\\therefore \boxed{\boxed{ y=-2x+18}}[/tex]

Thus, the equation for line 2 is found.

(2) - Answering part (b)

To find a line that is perpendicular to line 1, the slope of line 3 must be the opposite-reciprocal of line 1's. Once again, use the point-slope form of a line to find the equation of line 3.

[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1); \ \text{Recall that} \ m=\frac{1}{2} \ \text{and} \ (x_1,y_1)=(9,0)\\\\\Longrightarrow y-0=\frac{1}{2}(x-9)\\\\\therefore \boxed{\boxed{ y=\frac{1}{2} x-\frac{9}{2} }}[/tex]

Thus, the equation of line 3 is found.

Answer:

28 meters Aprox

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the width of the rectangular park, we can use the Pythagorean theorem. The diagonal running from one corner to the opposite corner forms a right triangle with the length and width of the park.

Given:

Length of the park (L) = 45 meters

Diagonal distance (d) = 53 meters

Using the Pythagorean theorem:

d² = L² + W²

(53 meters)² = (45 meters)² + W²

2809 = 2025 + W²

W² = 2809 - 2025

W² = 784

Taking the square root of both sides:

W ≈ √784

W ≈ 28

Therefore, the width of the rectangular park is approximately 28 meters.

The road trip will take approximately 5 hours.

Two one-step equations:

a) 2x + 5 = 13

In this equation, the variable 'x' represents an unknown number. By performing one step of subtraction, we can find the value of 'x' that makes the equation true.

The solution is x = 4.  

b) 3y - 7 = 16

Similar to the first equation, 'y' represents an unknown number.

By adding 7 to both sides of the equation, we can isolate the variable and solve for 'y.'  

The solution is y = 7.

Two equations with fractions:

a) (1/3)x + 2 = 5

Here, the variable 'x' is multiplied by a fraction.

To isolate 'x,' we can subtract 2 from both sides and then multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 1/3, which is 3/1.

The solution is x = 9.

b) (2/5)y - 3 = 1

In this equation, 'y' is multiplied by a fraction.

We can isolate 'y' by adding 3 to both sides and then multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of 2/5, which is 5/2.

The solution is y = 4.

One equation with the distributive property:

a) 2(x + 3) = 10

This equation demonstrates the distributive property.

By applying it, we multiply 2 by both x and 3, resulting in 2x + 6 = 10.

We can then solve for 'x' by subtracting 6 from both sides.

The solution is x = 2.

One equation with decimals:

a) 0.4x + 0.8 = 1.6

In this equation, 'x' is multiplied by a decimal.

To isolate 'x,' we subtract 0.8 from both sides and then divide both sides by 0.4.

The solution is x = 2.

Real-world problem:

Imagine you're planning a road trip.

The distance you'll be traveling is 250 miles, and your car's average speed is 50 miles per hour.

You want to determine how long the trip will take.

Let 't' represent the time in hours it will take to complete the trip.

Answer:

Naomi will need to score at least 89% on her fourth test to have an average of 90% in her math class.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out what score Naomi needs to earn on her fourth test in order to have an average of 90%, we can set up an equation.

Let's denote the score on the fourth test as "x". Naomi has taken three tests, and their scores are 87%, 98%, and 86%. To find the average, we sum up all the scores and divide by the number of tests:

(87 + 98 + 86 + x) / 4 = 90

Now we can solve for x:

(87 + 98 + 86 + x) = 4 * 90

271 + x = 360

x = 360 - 271

x = 89

Naomi will need to score at least 89% on her fourth test to have an average of 90% in her math class.

[tex](y - 4)^2 = -8(x - 2).[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola with a vertical axis of symmetry, vertex (h, k), and focus (h+a, k) is given by:

[tex](y - k)^2 = 4a(x - h)[/tex]

In this case, the vertex is (2, 4) and the focus is (0, 4).

Comparing this to the general equation, we have h=2, k=4, and h+a=0.

From h+a=0, we can solve for a:

a=-h = -2

Substituting the values of h, k, and p into the equation, we get:

[tex](y - 4)^2 = 4(-2)(x - 2)[/tex]

Simplifying further:

[tex](y - 4)^2 = -8(x - 2)[/tex]

The idea of combinations can be used.

The number of ways to select k items from a set of n items is given by the formula for combinations:

C(n, k) = n! / (k! * (n - k)!)

In this case, n = 8 (the total number of routines they have learned) and k = 6 (the number of routines they will perform).

Using the formula, we can calculate:

C(8, 6) = 8! / (6! * (8 - 6)!)

= 8! / (6! * 2!)

The factorial function is represented in this case by the exclamation symbol (!).

The sum of all positive integers from 1 to n is the factorial of the number n.

Calculating the factorials involved:

8! = 8 * 7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 40,320

6! = 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 720

2! = 2 * 1 = 2

[tex]\begin{aligned}\sf Percentage \; increase &= \dfrac{\sf Final\; value - Initial \;value}{\sf Initial \;value}\\\\&=\dfrac{ 2-1.6}{1.6}\\\\&=\dfrac{0.4}{1.6}\\\\&=0.25\end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore, the growth rate of the height of the cactus is 25% per year.

As the cactus grows at a constant rate, we can use the exponential growth formula to calculate its height in Year 6.

[tex]\boxed{\begin{minipage}{7.5 cm}\underline{Exponential Growth Formula}\\\\$y=a(1+r)^t$\\\\where:\\\phantom{ww}$\bullet$ $a$ is the initial value. \\ \phantom{ww}$\bullet$ $r$ is the growth factor (in decimal form).\\ \phantom{ww}$\bullet$ $t$ is the number of time periods.\\\end{minipage}}[/tex]

The initial value is the height in Year 1, so a = 1.6.

The growth factor is 25%, so r = 0.25.

As we wish to calculate its height in Year 6, the value of t is t = 5 (since there are 5 years between year 1 and year 6).

Substitute these values into the formula and solve for y (the height of the cactus):

[tex]\begin{aligned}y&=a(1+r)^t\\&=1.6(1+0.25)^5\\&=1.6(1.25)^5\\&=1.6(3.0517578125)\\&=4.8828125\\&=4.9\; \sf m\;(nearest\;tenth)\end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore, if the cactus continues to grow at the same rate, its height in Year 6 will be 4.9 meters (to the nearest tenth).

Check by multiplying the height each year by 1.25:

The given diagram shows the height of the same snowman an hour apart:

We are told that the snowman continues to melt at the same percentage rate. To calculate the decay rate per hour (percentage decrease), use the percentage decrease formula:

[tex]\begin{aligned}\sf Percentage \; decrease&= \dfrac{\sf Initial\; value - Final\;value}{\sf Initial \;value}\\\\&=\dfrac{1.8-1.53}{1.8}\\\\&=\dfrac{0.27}{1.8}\\\\&=0.15\end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore, the decay rate of the snowman's height is 15% per hour.

As the snowman melts at a constant rate, we can use the exponential decay formula to calculate its height after another 3 hours.

[tex]\boxed{\begin{minipage}{7.5 cm}\underline{Exponential Decay Formula}\\\\$y=a(1-r)^t$\\\\where:\\\phantom{ww}$\bullet$ $a$ is the initial value. \\ \phantom{ww}$\bullet$ $r$ is the decay factor (in decimal form).\\ \phantom{ww}$\bullet$ $t$ is the number of time periods.\\\end{minipage}}[/tex]

The initial value is the snowman's initial height, so a = 1.8.

The decay factor is 15%, so r = 0.15.

As we wish to calculate the snowman's height after another 3 hours, the value of t is t = 4 (i.e. the first hour plus a further 3 hours).

Substitute these values into the formula and solve for y (the height of the snowman):

[tex]\begin{aligned}y&=a(1-r)^t\\&=1.8(1-0.15)^4\\&=1.8(0.85)^4\\&=1.8(0.5220065)\\&=0.93961125\\&=0.9\; \sf m\;(nearest\;tenth)\end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore, if the snowman continues to melt at the same rate, its height after another 3 hours will be 0.9 meters (to the nearest tenth).

Check by multiplying the height each hour by 0.85:
