Answer:

- 11 < x < 8

Step-by-step explanation:

inequalities of the type | x | < a have solutions of the form

- a < x < a

then

| 2x + 3 | < 19

- 19 < 2x + 3 < 19 ( subtract 3 from each interval )

- 22 < 2x < 16 ( divide each interval by 2 )

- 11 < x < 8

The scale factor that can be applied to Cone 1 to make Cone 2 is 0.8

This are constants that is used to enlarge of diminish a given figure of sides of a figure

We can determine the scale factor by finding the ratio of the similar sides of two figures, From the given cones, the ratio of their radius can determine the scale factor that is applied to Cone 1 to make Cone 2

From the given figure;

scale factor = radius of cone 2/radius of cone 1

Given the following parameters

radius of cone 2 = 2 ft

radius of cone 1 = 2.5ft

Substitute

scale factor =  2/2.5

scale factor = 0.8

Hence the scale factor that can be applied to Cone 1 to make Cone 2 is 0.8

The measure of the length and width of the rectangle is given as 135 feet and 92 feet respectively.

From the information given, we have the following proofs;

Length, l = 2x + 30 - 49

Length = 2x - 19

The formula for perimeter of a rectangle is given as;

Perimeter = 2( length + width)

Substitute the expressions into the formula

Perimeter =  2 ( x+ 15 + 2x - 19 )

Perimeter = 2 (3x - 4)

Perimeter = 6x - 8

We have that the area is  162 more than 27 times the perimeter, which is Area = 27 (perimeter )+ 163

Area = 27(6x-8) + 162

Expand the bracket

Area= 162x - 216 + 162

Area = 162x - 54

But we know that

Area = length × width

Substitute the expressions

Area = (x+15)(2x-19)

Area =  2x² - 19x +30x - 285

Area = 2x² + 11x - 285

Equate the two formulas for area

162x - 54 = 2x² +11x - 285

Collect like terms

2x² + 11x - 285 - 162x + 54 = 0

2x²  - 151x - 231 = 0

Solve the quadratic equation

(2x + 3)(x-77) = 0

Let's solve for x

x - 77 = 0

x = 77

The expression for the width;

Width = x+15

Width = 77 + 15

Width = 92 feet

The expression for the length

Length = 2(x+15) - 49

Length = 2 ( 77 + 15) - 49

Length = 154 + 30 - 49

Length = 184 - 49

Length = 135 feet

Thus, the measure of the length and width of the rectangle is given as 135 feet and 92 feet respectively.

Yes, because both figures are rectangles and all rectangles are similar. Option B is correct option.

According to the statement

We have given that the two rectangles EFGH and ABCD and we have show that the these rectangles Are dilation at origin or not.

So, According to the given diagram

Yes, the rectangle EFGH is a result of dilation of rectangle ABCD with a center of dilation of rectangle at the origin.

Also The scale factor of the dilation is greater than one as the image is bigger than the pre-image i.e. there is a stretch.

The scale factor could be calculated by the ratio of the sides of the image to the pre-image rectangle.

The equation of the line of best fit is y = 1.7x  - 58

We start by drawing the line of best fit (see attachment)

From the attached graph, we have the following points

(x, y) = (70, 75) and (61, 60)

The slope (m) is:

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

This gives

m = (60 - 75)/(61 - 70)

Evaluate

m = 1.7

The line of best fit is then calculated as:

y = m(x - x1) + y1

This gives

y = 1.7(x - 70) + 61

This gives

y = 1.7x - 119 + 61

Evaluate

y = 1.7x  - 58

The maximum volume of an open rectangular box (with no top face) if its surface area is 1 square foot This Lagrange multiplier optimization is standard. If the box has a base of a, a height of c, and an area constraint of ab+2ac+2bc−48=0  we wish to optimize V= abc.

L(a,b,c,λ)= abc−λ(ab+2ac+2bc−48)

The four partial derivatives are zero at an ideal position, so:

δLδa=bc−λ(b+2c)=0

δLδb=ac−λ(a+2c)=0

δLδc=ab−λ(2a+2b)=0

Plus the restriction. The first two enlighten:

Answer:

13 + [tex]\sqrt{89}[/tex]

or

22.43398... (depends on how you round it)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The question stated that the radius of the circle O is 5, so the length of AO and CO is 5.

2. Since line AB and line CB are both tangent to the circle, they have the same length. CB is 8, so AB will also be 8.

--> Both triangle AOB and COB share one side, and the other side (radius) has the same length, so the third side must be the same length

3. Tangent means having a 90-degree angle with the radius. We know that the triangle AOB is a right triangle since the angle OAB is 90 degrees.

We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find side OB. OB^2 = AO^2 + AB^2.

--> OB^2 = 25 + 64

--> OB^2 = 89

--> OB = [tex]\sqrt{89}[/tex]

Now that we know the lengths of all three sides, we can add them up.

--> 5 + 8 + [tex]\sqrt{89}[/tex]

Answer: 3.217 & 12.434

Step-by-step explanation:

If we use w to represent the width, the length will be 6 more than 2 times w.

Hence, the length is [tex]2w+6[/tex].

The area of a rectangle would be its length times its width, so let's make an equation to represent it's area.

[tex]A=w(2w+6)[/tex]

We can also substitute 40 in for A as it's given in the question.

[tex]40 = w(2w+6)[/tex]

Distributing w by multiplying it by both terms in the parentheses, we get

[tex]40 = 2w^2+6w[/tex]

We can make the equation simpler by dividing both sides by 2.

[tex]20 = w^2+3w[/tex]

Subtracting both sides by 20 will make the left-hand side 0.

[tex]0=w^2+3w-20[/tex]

Now that we have put this quadratic equation into standard form (ax²+bx+c), we can find its solutions using the quadratic formula.

For reference, the quadratic formula is

[tex]x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

In this case, a is 1, b is 3, and c is -20.

Substituting, we get

[tex]w=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt{3^2-4(1)(-20)}}{2(1)}[/tex]

[tex]w= \frac{-3\pm\sqrt{9+80}}{2}[/tex]

[tex]w=\frac{-3+\sqrt{89}}{2}\hspace{0.1cm}or\hspace{0.1cm}\frac{-3-\sqrt{89}}{2}[/tex]

Since the second solution results in a negative number, it cannot be the length of w.

[tex]w=\frac{-3+\sqrt{89}}{2}\approx3.217[/tex]

The width/breadth of the rectangle is 3.217 cm.

To calculate the length, let's substitute the width into the expression for the length:

[tex]l=12.434[/tex]

The length of this rectangle is 12.434 cm.

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x - 6) + 1 + (x - 4) = 18

3x - 9 = 18

3x = 27

x = 9

RS = x - 4 = 9 - 4 = 5

Answer:

B. 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Pls mark brainiest if helpful!!

PQ + QR + RS = 18

This statement is equivalent to the following:

(2x - 6) + 1 + (x - 4) = 18.

This is because we substitute the line segments with their values.

Now that we have an equation to work with, we will solve it. We start by removing the parenthesis as they are not necessary here.

2x - 6 + 1 + x - 4 = 18

Next, we will make it, so x is alone on the left. We will do this by adding 6 and 4 to both sides

2x - 6 (+6) + 1 + x - 4 (+4) = 18 (+6) (+4)

After doing this we are left with the following equation:

2x + 1 + x = 28

Now we will subtract 1 from both sides to make x alone of the left side of the equation.

2x + 1 (-1) + x = 28 (-1)

After we solve this, we get the following:

2x + x = 27

We can add 2x and x and get 3x because 2 + 1 = 3.

3x = 27

We now simplify this equation by dividing both sides by 3.

[tex]\frac{3x}{3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{27}{3}[/tex]

We again simplify the equation to the following:

x = 9

BUT THATS NOT THE ANSWER!

Now that we know what x is, we can solve for the value of RS.

We input 9 for x in the equation x - 4.

When we do this, we get 9 - 4 which is 5.

And this is our final answer!!

Answer:

d

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a circle in standard form is

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

where (h, k ) are the coordinates of the centre and r is the radius

(x - 5 )² + (y + 1)² = 4 ← is in standard form

with centre (5, - 1 ) and r = [tex]\sqrt{4}[/tex] = 2

The exponent Marina should use for b is: D. 7.

When dividing, you subtract the exponents. I.e. [tex]a^m \div a^n = a^{m - n}[/tex].

Using the rule, we would also subtract the exponents of b in the simplified expression. Thus:

[tex]b^4 \div b^{-3}[/tex]

Subtract the exponents

4 -(-3) = 4 + 3 = 7.

Therefore, the Maria should use the exponent b = 7.
