the perimeter of a rectangle is 12cm. If the length is 2 less than 3 times the width, find the length

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The length of the rectangle would be 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can start by naming the width x.

Therefore, the length would 3x-2.

The perimeter of the rectangle would then be:

2(3x-2+x)

We can set up the given equation

2(3x-2+x)=12

Solve for x.

Divide both sides by 2.

3x-2+x=6

Combine like terms.

4x-2=6

Add 2 to both sides.

4x=8

Divide both sides by 4.

x=2

The width would then be 2.

We can plug that into the expression for length.

3x-2

3(2)-2

6-2

4

The length of the rectangle would be 4.

Let's use an equation to solve this problem.

Since they are consecutive integers, if we say that the first number is [tex]x[/tex], then the next two numbers (three dimensions in a rectangular prism) are [tex]x+1[/tex] and [tex]x+2[/tex] respectively.

[tex]x*(x+1)*(x+2)=4896[/tex]

[tex]x*(x+1)=x^2+x[/tex]

5 × 8=40 ft² for each wall

4×40=160 ft² for 4 walls

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

stated one gallon cover 160 ft²

Answers

Answer:

f(x) = 24 miles per gallon

Step-by-step explanation:

car manufacturer claims that their car can get 33 miles per gallon minus the speed factor

f (×) =33 -0.15x

For a car going 60 mph

f (×) =33 -0.15x

X=60 mph

f (×) =33 -0.15x

f(x) = 33-0.15(60)

miranda made some cupcakes for the school bake sale. Of the cupcakes 1/2 are choclate and 1/2 are strawberry. Of the strawberry cupcakes, 1/3 are frosted with vanilla frosting, and the rest are frosted with choclate frosting. What portion of the cupcakes are strawberry with chocalate frosting? I also need to be quick and show work

Answers

Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

half are choclate so the rest is 50% and 1/3 is vanilla so 2/3 are strawberry and chocolate

1/3 portion of the cupcakes are strawberry with chocolate frosting.

What is portion?

An individual part or share of something is called as portion.

It also refers to the divide something into parts.

Now it is given that,

Portion of chocolate cupcakes = 1/2

Portion of strawberry cupcakes = 1/2

Of the strawberry cupcakes.

frosted with vanilla frosting = 1/3

frosted with chocolate frosting = 1-1/3 =  2/3

Since, 1/2 portion of all the cupcakes are strawberry cakes and out of 1/2, 1/3 are frosted with vanilla frosting and 2/3 are frosted with chocolate frosting.

strawberry cupcakes frosted with chocolate frosting = 2/3 of 1/2 = 2/6

strawberry cupcakes frosted with chocolate frosting = 1/3

Hence,1/3 portion of the cupcakes are strawberry with chocolate frosting.

What’s the difference/same with y/x and y1-y2/x2-x1? Are they both the same?

Answers

They are both similar but not entirely the same.

The first expression y/x means we divide y over x. We divide two values here and we are not subtracting first before division. This expression is useful for when you want to find the variation constant in the equation y = kx (for direct proportion equations).

The other expression (y2-y1)(x2-x1) is where we first subtract the y values, and do the same for the x values, before we divide. This computes the slope of the line through the two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2). It's also useful to figure out the average rate of change (one application of slope). For problems involving time versus distance, the average rate of change is the average speed in which the object is moving.

Find the Autocorrelation function of the following periodic function: X(t) = A sin(wt +θ) 21 With T=2π/w the period, A, θ, and w are constants.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\mathbf{R(\tau) = \dfrac{A^2}{2} cos (\omega \tau)}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

To find Autocorrelation function of the following periodic function

Given that:

X(t) = A sin(wt +θ)

with the period T=2π/w , A, θ, and w are constants.

The autocorrelation function  of periodic function with period  and phase θ can be expressed as:

[tex]R(\tau) = \dfrac{1}{T} \int \limits ^{T/2}_{-T/2} x(t) *x(t - \tau) \ dt[/tex]

[tex]R(\tau) = \dfrac{A^2}{T} \int \limits ^{T/2}_{-T/2} \ A sin ( \omega t + \theta)*A sin [ \omega (t- \tau ) + \theta] \ dt[/tex]

where;

[tex]sinAsin B = \dfrac{1}{2}[cos (A-B) -cos (A+B)][/tex]

Then;

[tex]R(\tau) = \dfrac{A^2}{2T} \int \limits ^{T/2}_{-T/2} \ cos ( \omega t- \omega \tau + \theta - \omega t - \theta) - cos (\omega t - \omega \tau + \theta + \omega t + \theta) \ dt[/tex]

[tex]R(\tau) = \dfrac{A^2}{2T} \int \limits ^{T/2}_{-T/2} \ cos ( - \omega \tau ) - cos (2 \omega t - \omega \tau + 2 \theta) \ dt[/tex]

[tex]R(\tau) = \dfrac{A^2}{2T} \int \limits ^{T/2}_{-T/2} \ cos ( - \omega \tau ) \ dt - \dfrac{1}{2T} \int \limits ^{T/2}_{-T/2} cos (2 \omega t - \omega \tau + 2 \theta) \ dt[/tex]

The term 2  is the cosine wave of frequency and the phase = [tex]- w \tau + 2 \theta[/tex]

if we integrate that, the second term in the expansion for R(t) = zero

As such,

[tex]R(\tau) = \dfrac{A^2}{2T} \int \limits^{T/2}_{-T/2} \ cos ( - \omega \tau ) dt[/tex]

where ;

[tex]cos (-\omega \tau )[/tex]is constant

Then :

[tex]R(\tau) = \dfrac{A^2}{2T} cos (-\omega \tau) [t]^{T/2}_{-T/2}[/tex]

[tex]R(\tau) = \dfrac{A^2}{2T} cos (-\omega \tau) \times [\dfrac{T}{2}+ \dfrac{T}{2}][/tex]

[tex]R(\tau) = \dfrac{A^2}{2T} cos (-\omega \tau) \times [\dfrac{2T}{2}][/tex]

[tex]R(\tau) = \dfrac{A^2}{2T} cos (-\omega \tau) \times T[/tex]

[tex]R(\tau) = \dfrac{A^2}{2} cos (-\omega \tau)[/tex]

since [tex]cos (-\omega \tau) = cos (\omega \tau)[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{R(\tau) = \dfrac{A^2}{2} cos (\omega \tau)}[/tex]

Distribute the -2 to the number in the parentheses.

-6x - 2 = 26

Add 2 to both sides of the equation.

(-6x - 2) + 2 = 26 + 2

-6x = 28

Divide both sides of the equation by -6.

(-6x)/-6 = 28/-6

x = -28/6

x = -14/3

In the​ 1970s, due to world​ events, there was a gasoline shortage in the United States. There were often long lines of cars waiting at gas stations. Part​ A: If there were 41 cars in a line that stretched 388 ​feet, what is the average car​ length? Assume that the cars are lined up​ bumper-to-bumper. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a foot.

Answers

Answer:

Part A: The average car length is 9.1 feet to the nearest tenth foot

Part B: The line would be 9100 feet to contained 1000 cars

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

# Part A:

- There were 62 cars in a line that stretched 567 feet

- The cars are lined up bumper-to-bumper

- That means there is no empty spaces between the cars

* To find the average length of the car we will divide the length of

 the line by the numbers of the cars

∵ The average car length = length of the line/number of cars

∵ The length of the line is 567 feet

∵ The numbers of the cars is 62 cars

∴ The average car length = 567/62 = 9.1 feet

* The average car length is 9.1 feet to the nearest tenth foot

# Part B:

- There are 1000 cars

- We need to find the length of line which contained the cars

∵ The average car length = length of the line/number of cars

∵ The average of car length is 9.1 feet

∵ The number of the cars is 1000 cars

∴ 9.1 = length of the line/1000

- Multiply both sides by 1000

∴ The length of the line = 9.1 × 1000 = 9100 feet

∴ The line would be 9100 feet to contained 1000 cars
