Fynjy0 [20]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If the smallest number is 'x', then the other number = x +1

x*(x+1)= 420

Use distributive property

x*x + x*1 = 420

x² + x - 420 =0   ------> this is the required quadratic equation.

Find the dimensions of a rectangle with area 512 m2 whose perimeter is as small as possible. (If both values are the same number
Masja [62]

Answer:

<h2>√512 by √512 </h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Length the length and breadth of the rectangle be x and y.

Area of the rectangle A = Length * breadth

Perimeter P = 2(Length + Breadth)

A = xy and P = 2(x+y)

If the area of the rectangle is 512m², then 512 = xy

x = 512/y

Substituting x = 512/y into the formula for calculating the perimeter;

P = 2(512/y + y)

P = 1024/y + 2y

To get the value of y, we will set dP/dy to zero and solve.

dP/dy = -1024y⁻² + 2

-1024y⁻² + 2 = 0

-1024y⁻² = -2

512y⁻² = 1

y⁻² = 1/512

1/y² = 1/512

y²  = 512

y = √512 m

On testing for minimum, we must know that the perimeter is at the minimum when y = √512

From xy = 512

x(√512) = 512

x = 512/√512

On rationalizing, x = 512/√512 * √512 /√512

x = 512√512 /512

x = √512 m

Hence, the dimensions of a rectangle is √512 m  by √512 m

There are 5,280 feet in a mile. What part of a mile, in decimal form, will you drive until you reach the exit.
nalin [4]

Answer:

= 0.1893939

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given that there are 5,280 feet in a mile.

Number of feet in a mile = 5,280

Now we will convert feet into miles.

To convert 1000 feet into mile we will multiply  it by 1/5280

1000 feet = 1000 * 1/5280

1000/5280

= 0.1893939

Therefore the answer is = 0.1893939....
