The length of a rectangular garden is 5 feet less than 4 times its width. Its area is 359 square feet. Find the length and width of the garden. Round answers to the nearest tenth of a foot. Show all work.

Answers

Answer 1

Given parameters:

Area of the rectangular garden  = 359ft²

Unknown:

length and width of the garden  = ?

To find the length and breadth of the garden, we need to define and know that the area of a rectangle is.

 Area of a rectangle  = Length x Breadth

From the problem statement;

 Let w = width of the rectangular garden

        L = length of the garden;

 Now,

          length of a rectangular garden is 5 feet less than 4 times its width

           L = 4w - 5

Now let us substitute this into the equation;

       Area  = L x w

    359 = (4w - 5)w

           4w² - 5w - 359

Using:

          w = -b ± √b² -  4ac  /  2a

 where b  = -5 , a  = 4  and c = -359

  w  =   -(-5)  ± √-5² - 4(4)(-359)  /  2(4)

 w = 5 ± √25 + 5744 / 8

 w =  5 ± 75.9 / 8

 w  = [tex]\frac{5 + 75.9}{8} or \frac{5 - 75.9}{8}[/tex]

  w  = 10.1ft

 The other solution is not possible it will be a negative value. Width value cannot be negative.

So L = 4w - 5  = 4(10.1) - 5 = 35.5ft

The length and breadth of the rectangular are 35.5ft and 10.1ft respectively.

Suppose the last column of AB is entirely zero but B itself has no column of zeros. What can you say about the columns of​ A? Choose the correct answer below. A. The columns of A must be the identity matrix columns because if the last column in B is denoted ​, then the last column of AB can be rewritten as A0. This implies that A must be the identity matrix to ensure that the last column of AB is all zeros. B. The columns of A are linearly independent because if the last column in B is denoted ​, then the last column of AB can be rewritten as A0. Since is not all​ zeros, then the only solution to A0 is the trivial solution. C. The columns of A are linearly dependent because if the last column in B is denoted ​, then the last column of AB can be rewritten as A0. Since is not all​ zeros, then any solution to A0 can not be the trivial solution. D. The columns of A must all have entries of zero because if the last column in B is denoted ​, then the last column of AB can be rewritten as A0. This implies that A must have columns that are composed of only zeros and therefore AB must be the zero matrix.

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is C, the columns of A are linearly dependent because if the last column in B is denoted ​, then the last column of AB can be rewritten as A0. Since B is not all​ zeros, then any solution to A0 can not be the trivial solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, have to define linear dependency to get a clear picture of what is to be done.

If we have two vectors A and B, they are said to be linearly independent if Ax + By = 0 if and only if x = y = 0. Otherwise they are linearly dependent.

Now, let p denote the last column of the matrix B. We are given that the last column of AB is zero, therefore Ap = 0. Although p is not the zero vector, because B has no columns of zeros, therefore the equation Ap = 0 is a linear dependence relation among the columns of A. Hence, the columns of A are linearly dependent.

Answer:

[tex]-2\frac{-1}{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

To distribute the -6, multiply every numerator by -6, this gets you

-6/4+12/3-30/6

To put these together, they all need to have a common denominator. We can make all of the denomiators 12 by multiplying the numerator by whatever we multiply the denominators by to get 12.

-18/12+48/12-60/12

This gets you -30/12

To make this a proper fraction, divide -30 by 12 and put the whole number to the left of the fraction (-2), making a mixed number. The remainder stays a fraction which is -6/12. This reduces down to -1/2. Put -2 and -1/2 together to get [tex]-2\frac{-1}{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

If you just want to keep it in simplest fraction form, the negatives cancel, giving you 8/3

But if you want to make it a mixed number, the negatives still cancel and since three goes into eight twice, with two leftover, you get 2 2/3

But if you want to make it a decimal, eight divided by three gives you 2.6666 repeating

Twenty distinct cars park in the same parking lot every day. Ten of these cars are USmade while the other ten are foreign-made. The parking lot has exactly twenty spaces all in a row so the cars park side by side. However, the drivers have varying schedules so the position any car might take on a certain day is random. What is the probability that on a given day, the cars will park in such a way that they alternate (i.e., no two US-made cars are adjacent and no two foreign-made cars are adjacent)?

Answers

Answer:

The probability that on a given day, the cars will park in such a way that they alternate is 1.0825 × 10⁻⁵.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is provided that the cars will be parked in such a way that they will be alternating: US made, foreign made, US made, foreign made, etc.

First park all the US cars. This can be done in 10! ways, since the cars are distinct.  

Now park the foreign cars between the US cars. This can also be done in 10! ways.  

Since the sequence could begin either with a US car or with a foreign car, the possible number of ways to park alternating cars is

Favorable Outcomes = 2 × 10! × 10!

The total number of ways to park the 20 distinct cars is,

Total Outcomes = 20!

Compute the probability that on a given day, the cars will park in such a way that they alternate as follows:

[tex]P(\text{Alternate Parking})=\frac{\text{Favorable Outcomes}}{\text{Total Outcomes}}[/tex]

                                  [tex]=\frac{2\times 10!\times 10!}{20!}\\\\=\frac{2\times 10!\times 10!}{20\times 19\times 18\times ...10!}\\\\=\frac{2\times 10!}{20\times 19\times 18\times ...11}\\\\=1.0825\times 10^{-5}[/tex]

Thus, the probability that on a given day, the cars will park in such a way that they alternate is 1.0825 × 10⁻⁵.

The Law of Large Numbers states that as an experiment is repeated, the relative frequency of an event tends toward the real probability.
a. if the probability of a specific observed event is very small, it is unlikely that the assumption about the probability is correct.
b. the probability of obtaining a favorable outcome increases as the number of trials increases.
c. the sampling distribution of the sample mean will be approximately normally distributed as long as the sample size is sufficiently large.
d. the probability that an event will occur is derived from one's increasing knowledge of relevant circumstances.

Answers

Answer:

the probability of obtaining a favorable outcome increases as the number of trials increases

Step-by-step explanation:

The law of large numbers occupies an important place in probability statistics especially as it regards the outcome of experiments.

A simple statement of this law is that; when an experiment is independently repeated a large number of times, the average result, that is obtained is close to the expected value.

Hence, the probability of obtaining a favorable outcome increases as the number of trials increases.

Answers

Answer:

Correct option: C

Step-by-step explanation:

A random variable, denote by X, is a variable whose probable values are numeric and are of a random occurrence. There are two types of random variables, discrete and continuous.

A discrete random variable is the one which takes on only a finite number of distinct values such as 0, 1, 2, 3, 4... For example, the number of female members in a family, the daily attendance at a yoga class, the number of defective light bulbs in a box of five bulbs.

The probability distribution of a discrete random variable consist of a list of probabilities related with the respective possible values. It is also known as the probability mass function.

The correct statement describing X is:

C. The event x is a discrete random variable because the values of the random variable are countable.

We know that the blue triangle is the image as it has the ' on the letters. For example G'.

To first start off, you can look at any points to help solve this problem. I used the point H to help me solve this

Since we know that the black triangle is our old image we know the distance in x values between the black triangle to the blue is -2 as it moves to the left 2 times. (Note: it's going more into the negatives, if it were going to the right it would be positive)

Now we do the same to find our y values, and we see that y value for h on the black triangle goes up +1.

Now we know that the X goes to the left two times to get -2 and that the Y goes up once to get +1.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

b. (x - 2, y + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

You can make that determination visually. However, if you need numbers...

Pick a point on the black triangle, let's say F(0, 0) and the corresponding point on the blue tirangle F(-2, 1)

(y₁ + y₂) / (x₁ + x₂) = (0 + 1) / (0 + (-2)) = 1 / -2

[tex]\frac{rise}{run}[/tex] = [tex]-\frac{1}{2}[/tex]  

So, from the F(0,0) position move -2 to the left then up 1 to land on F(-2, 1).

This translated to (x - 2, y + 1)

2) Next, multiply the numerators with the same number you multiplied with the denominator  

8 x 2 = 16  

7 x 1 = 7  

3) Therefore, the answers are:

A paper company needs to ship paper to a large printing business. The paper will be shipped in small boxes and large boxes. Each small box of paper weighs 45 pounds and each large box of paper weighs 80 pounds. There were twice as many large boxes shipped as small boxes shipped and the total weight of all boxes was 1435. Determine the number of small boxes shipped and the number of large boxes shipped.

Answers

Answer:

There were 7 small boxes and 14 large boxes shipped.

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem may be solved by a system of equations:

I am going to say that:

x is the number of small boxes used

y is the number of large boxes used

There were twice as many large boxes shipped as small boxes shipped

This means that y = 2x

Each small box of paper weighs 45 pounds and each large box of paper weighs 80 pounds. The total weight of all boxes was 1435 pounds.

This means that 45x + 80y =1435

So we have to solve the following system:

y=2x

45x + 80y =1435

45x + 80 (2x) = 1435

205x = 1435

x= 1435/205

x=7

y=2x= 2(7) = 14

There were 7 small boxes and 14 large boxes shipped.
