Answer:

The dimensions of the two different rectangular regions are;

1st Arrangement:

W = 4 yards and L = 5 yards or W = 5 yards and L = 4 yards

2nd Arrangement:

W = 2 yards and L = 10 yards or W = 10 yards and L = 2 yards

The perimeter of the two different rectangular regions are;

1st Arrangement:

P₁ = 18 yards

2nd Arrangement:

P₂ = 24 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Bella is putting down patches of sod to start a new lawn.

She has 20 square yards of sod.

We are asked to provide the dimensions of two different rectangular regions that she can cover with the sod.

Recall that a rectangle has an area given by

Area = W*L

Where W is the width of the rectangle and and L is the length of the rectangle.

Since Bella has 20 square yards of sod,

20 = W*L

There are more than two such possible rectangular arrangements.

Out of them, two different possible arrangements are;

1st Arrangement:

20 = (4)*(5) = (5)*(4)

Width is 4 yards and length is 5 yards or width is 5 yards and length is 4 yards

2nd Arrangement:

20 = (2)*(10) = (10)*(2)

Width is 2 yards and length is 10 yards or width is 10 yards and length is 2 yards

Therefore, the dimensions of two different rectangular regions are;

1st Arrangement:

W = 4 yards and L = 5 yards or W = 5 yards and L = 4 yards

2nd Arrangement:

W = 2 yards and L = 10 yards or W = 10 yards and L = 2 yards

What is the perimeter of each region?

The perimeter of a rectangular shape is given by

P = 2(W + L)

Where W is the width of the rectangle and and L is the length of the rectangle.

The perimeter of the 1st arrangement is

P₁ = 2(4 + 5)

P₁ = 2(9)

P₁ = 18 yards

The perimeter of the 2nd arrangement is

P₂ = 2(2 + 10)

P₂ = 2(12)

P₂ = 24 yards

So the perimeter of the 1st arrangement is 18 yards and the perimeter of the 2nd arrangement is 24 yards.

Note:

Another possible arrangement is,

20 = (1)*(20) = (20)*(1)

Width is 1 yard and length is 20 yards or width is 20 yards and length is 1 yard.

The cost function for a certain company is C = 20x + 700 and the revenue is given by R = 100x − 0.5x2. Recall that profit is rev

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

x = 20

x = 140

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the equation for profit P

P = R - C

Substitute the equations for R and C then simplify.

P = 100x − 0.5x² - (20x + 700)

P = -0.5x² + 80x - 700

Find the values of x when profit is $700

P = -0.5x² + 80x - 700

700 = -0.5x² + 80x - 700

0 = -0.5x² + 80x - 1400

This is in the standard form 0 = ax² + bx + c

Use the quadratic formula to find values of x

$x = \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac} }{2a}$

(Ignore Â)

Substitute a b and c.

a = -0.5

b = 80

c = -1400

$x = \frac{-(80)±\sqrt{80^{2}-4(-0.5)(-1400)} }{2(-0.5)}$

$x = \frac{-80±60}{-1}$

Split the formula at the ± so that there are two to get the two x values.

$x = \frac{-80+60}{-1}$

$x = \frac{-80-60}{-1}$

x = 20

x = 140

The profit will be $700 when x is 20 or when x is 140.

The weights of cars passing over a bridge have a mean of 3,550 pounds and standard deviation of 870 pounds. Assume that the weig

Annette [7]

Answer:

0.24315

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the z score formula to solve this question

z = (x - μ) / σ,

Such that:

x = raw score

μ = population mean

σ = population standard deviation.

From the question:

x = 3000

μ = 3550

σ = 870

z = (3000 - 3550) / 870

z = -550/870

z = -0.6962

Using the z score table as well as probability calculator(as requested in the question to find the z score)

The probability of having less than 3000 is obtained as:

P(x<3000) = 0.24315

leonid [27]

Answer:

As the number of copies increases The dimension of images continues to decrease until reaching 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember, that the term dimension refers not to an unlimited/unending length but to a specific measurable length.

Therefore, as both copy machines reduces the dimensions of images that are run through the machines over time the dimensions of images would decrease until reaching 0; Implying that the dimension is so small to be invisible, in a sense becoming 0.
