The length of a rectangle is 5 inches less than 3 times the width. The perimeter of the rectangle is 14 inches. Find the length and width of the rectangle.
I did this: Length 3x-5; width 3x Then I did guess and check and came up with X=2 solving the problem with a perimeter of 14. But, the answer is supposed to be length 4inches, width 3inches.
Please explain what I did wrong. I know the answer but not how to get it.

Answers

Answer 1
The length of the rectangle is 3 times the width translates to L=3W-5, where W is the width.

5 lollipops and 12 toffees have a mass of 61 grams and 10 lollipops and 13 toffees have a mass of 89 grams . Calculate the mass of one lollipop and one toffee

Answers

a - mass of the lollipop
b - mass of yhe toffee

5a + 12b = 61
10a + 13b = 89

10a = 89 - 13b
a = 8.9 - 1.3b

5*(8.9 - 1.3b) + 12b = 61
44.5 - 6.5b + 12b = 61
5.5b = 16.5
b = 3

a = 8.9 - 1.3*3 = 5

a = 5
b = 3

Lollipop has a mass 5g and toffee 3g

In order to purchase a home, a family borrows $159,000 at 6.5% for 30 years. Use the table to find their monthly payment. Round the answer to the nearest cent.

a. $954.00                 c. $1,186.14
b. $1,006.47               d. $1,276.36

Answers

So, the given figure above shows us the monthly payments and interest in a $1000 of mortgage. So the interest rate monthly for 30 years is 6.33 dollars. So now, since it is stated that you are going to borrow $159,000, we will just have to multiply 6.33 by 159 and the result would be $1006.47. Therefore, the answer would be option B. Hope this answer helps.

The table below shows the temperature (in °F) t hours after midnight in Phoenix on March 15. The table shows values of this function recorded every two hours.

Estimate the value of T′(8). Give units in your answer.
What is the meaning of T′(8)?


t 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14
T 73 73 70 68 73 80 86 89

Answers

We need to estimate the value of T'(8) and then we need to give the meaning of this value. Since we have a table and not an expression of a function our goal is to find the Average Rate of Change between two points.


For a nonlinear graph whose slope changes at each point, the average rate of change between any two points [tex](x_{1},f(x_{1}) \ and \ (x_{2},f(x_{2})[/tex] is the slope of the line through the two points. So:


[tex]ARC=\frac{f(x_{2})-f(x_{1})}{x_{2}-x_{1}} =\frac{Change \ in \ y}{Change \ in \ x}=m_{sec}[/tex]


1. Estimated value of T′(8).


T'(8) means the derivative of the function T(t) when t = 8 hours. So, we can estimate this value using the average rate of change:

[tex]ARC=\frac{T(8)-T(6)}{8-6} =\frac{73-68}{8-6}=\frac{5}{2} \ degrees \ per \ hours[/tex]


2. The meaning of T′(8)

This means the average temperature after midnight in Phoenix on March 15, from t = 6 to t = 8 hours, that is, for each hour the temperature rises 5/2 degrees on the Fahrenheit scale. The points have been plotted in the Figure bellow.

The rate of change of the temperature is 3 degrees Celsius per hour. This response means that temperature has an instantaneous increase rate of 3 degrees Celsius per hour at [tex]t = 8\,h[/tex].

We can estimate the rate of change of the temperature, in degrees Celsius per hour, by calculating the average of two consecutive secant lines, whose expression is presented below:

[tex]T'(t) \approx \frac{1}{2}\cdot \left[\frac{T(t+\Delta t)-T(t)}{\Delta t} + \frac{T(t)-T(t-\Delta t)}{\Delta t} \right][/tex] (1)

If we know that [tex]\Delta t = 2[/tex], [tex]T(6) = 68[/tex], [tex]T(8) = 73[/tex] and [tex]T(10) = 80[/tex], then the estimated value of the rate of change of the temperature is:

[tex]T'(8) = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \left[\frac{80-73}{2}+\frac{73-68}{2} \right][/tex]

[tex]T'(8) \approx 3\,\frac{^{\circ}C}{h}[/tex]

The rate of change of the temperature is 3 degrees Celsius per hour. This response means that temperature has an instantaneous increase rate of 3 degrees Celsius per hour at [tex]t = 8\,h[/tex].

Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions here.

Below is the solution:

Rotating around the y-axis; solve for x. y = x/3
x = 3y

Find x^2
x^2 = 9y^2

Integrating it using the limits of 0 and 3, remember to add the pi and integrate 9y^2.

The answer is 81pi cubic units which is A. 

In this exercise we want to calculate the volume of a circular cone in this way we have that the rotation will be given by:

Letter A

First let's write the rotation in favor of the X, this will be equal to:

[tex]y = x/3\\x = 3y[/tex]

So substituting this value in the function we find that:

[tex]x^2 =(3y)^2= 9y^2\\\int\limits^3_0 {9y^2} \, dx =81 \pi[/tex]

which is a factored form of 216p^3 + 125q^3?

Answers

Simple....

you have: [tex] 216p^{3} + 125p^{3} [/tex]

Simplify it by factoring out [tex] p^{3} [/tex]-->>

[tex] p^{3} (341)[/tex]

Or, just add it-->>

[tex] 341p^{3} [/tex]

Thus, your answer.

The factored form of [tex]\( 216p^3 + 125q^3 \) is \( (6p + 5q)(36p^2 - 30pq + 25q^2) \).[/tex]

To find the factored form of the expression [tex]\(216p^3 + 125q^3\)[/tex], we can use the sum of cubes formula:

[tex]\[ a^3 + b^3 = (a + b)(a^2 - ab + b^2) \][/tex]

Where a = 6p and b = 5q.

Substituting these values into the formula, we get:

[tex]\[ 216p^3 + 125q^3 = (6p)^3 + (5q)^3 \][/tex]

[tex]\[ = (6p + 5q)((6p)^2 - (6p)(5q) + (5q)^2) \][/tex]

[tex]\[ = (6p + 5q)(36p^2 - 30pq + 25q^2) \][/tex]

Therefore, the factored form of [tex]\( 216p^3 + 125q^3 \) is \( (6p + 5q)(36p^2 - 30pq + 25q^2) \).[/tex]

We need to solve the above equation,

[tex]2.3 + 8(1.3x-4.75) = 629.9\\\\2.3+10.4x-38=629.9\\\\-35.7+10.4x=629.9\\\\10.4x=629.9+35.7\\\\10.4x=665.6\\\\\text{ Dividing 10.4 on both sides}\\\\x=\frac{665.6}{10.4}\\\\x=64[/tex]

Hence, Divide both sides of the equation by 10.4.

If the principal is $350 and the interest rate is 3 percent, what is the simple interest earned in one year? simple interest = P × r × t Select one of the options below as your answer: A. $10.50 B. $30.25 C. $105

Answers

the interest rate earned in one year is $10.5

Answer:

The option A. $10.50 is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Principal = $350

Rate = 3%

⇒ Rate = 0.03

Time = 1 year

Now, Simple Interest is given by the formula : Principal × Rate × Time

Therefore, Simple Interest = 350 × 0.03 × 1

Simple Interest = $10.50

Hence, The option A. $10.50 is correct

How many years will it take for 2000 to double at a simple interest rate of 8%? explain how you found your answer

Answers

A = P(1+RT)
A (Future) = 2000(2) = 4000
P (Principal) = 2000
R (Rate) = 8% =.08
T (Time) = Unknown

Create the equation:
4000 = 2000(1+.08t)

Distribute the 2000:
4000 = 2000 + 2000(.08t)

Multiply the 2000(.08t):
4000 = 2000 + 160t

Subtract the 2000 from both sides:
2000 = 160t

Divide by 160:
