10 inches x 8 inches. 

You can get this by creating two equations.

xy = 80 and 2x + 2y = 36

Then you can solve the first one for either variable. Once you do that you can substitute it into the other equation and solve. You'll get a quadratic equation which will give you both parts of the answer.

Answer:

The dimension are 10 inches by 8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The rectangular cutting has a perimeter of 36 inches . The area is 80 inches². The dimension can be solved as follows :

perimeter of a rectangle = 2l + 2b

where

l = length

b = breadth

36 = 2l + 2b..............(i)

Area of  a rectangle = l × b = lb

80 = lb........................(ii)

l = 80/b

Insert the value of l in equation (i)

36 = 2(80/b) + 2b

36 = 160/b + 2b

36 = (160 + 2b²)/b

cross multiply

36b = 160 + 2b²

2b² - 36b + 160 = 0

b² - 18b + 80 = 0

(b - 8)(b - 10)

b  = 8 or  b = 10

let us insert b in equation (ii)

80 = lb........................(ii)

80 = l8

l = 80/8

l = 10

or if we insert b =10

80 = lb........................(ii)

80 = 10l

l = 8

The dimension are 10 inches by 8 inches

Which shows a recursive and an explicit formula for a sequence whose initial term is 14 and whose common difference is −4? A. A(
liberstina [14]

Answer: A. A(1) = 14; A(n) = (n − 1) −4; A(n) = 14 + (n − 1)(−4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Arithmetic sequence is a sequence that is identified by their common difference. Let a be the first term, n be the number of terms and d be the common difference.

For an arithmetic sequence, common difference 'd' is added to the preceding term to get its succeeding term. For example if a is the first term of a sequence, second term will be a+d, third term will give a+d+d and so on to generate sequence of the form,

a, a+d, a+3d, a+4d...

Notice that each new term keep increasing by a common difference 'd'

The nth term of the sequence Tn will therefore give Tn = a+(n-1)d

If the initial (first) term is 14 and common difference is -4, the nth of the sequence will be gotten by substituting a = 14 and d = -4 in the general formula to give;

Tn = 14+(n-1)-4 (which gives the required answer)

Tn = 14-4n+4

Tn = 18-4n

Part of a book fell out. The first page of this part has number 143. The last page has a number written with the same digits. Ho
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

142 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameters given are

First page of part of the book available = 143

The last is numbered with the digits 143

Since the book is said to have been split into two parts with, we have that one part of the book starts from the beginning, while the other part continue from the first part stops

Number on the pages on the first part = from 1 to number on the first page on the second part - 1

Hence, the part of the book available is the second part and the number of pages in the first part = 1 to 142 or 142 pages.
