Four times the sum of a number and 15 is at least 120
Let ‘x’ represent the number.
"The sum of a number and 15"
This can be written mathematically as x + 15
Given that 4 times this sum is at least 120,
This means that 4 times the sum is greater than or equal to 120
This can be written mathematically as 4(x + 15) >= 120
Solving for x
4(x + 15) >= 120
4x + 60 >= 120
4x >= 120 – 60
4x >= 60
x >= 60/4
x >= 15
x is greater than or equal to 15 <span>

a photo collage consists of seven equal sized square photo arranged in a row to form a rectangle if the total area of the colleg

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I have attached a written explanation to help :).

Let's say each side of the square = $x$

If we put 7 squares in a row to make the rectangle,

length of the rectangle = $7x$

Area of a rectangle = length multiplied by width

Area of rectangle = $7x$ multiplied by $x$ = $7x^2$

We are also told that the total area = 567

So $7x^2 = 567$

Now solve for $x$ .

Divide both sides by 7.

$\frac{7x^2}{7} = \frac{567}{7}$

$x^2 = 81$

Then square root both sides to find $x$

$x = \sqrt{81}$ = 9

Finally, the question asks to find the length of the collage which we said was $7x$ and we know $x = 9$

Length of collage = $7x = 7$ multiplied by $9$ = ?

Carla and Jonah are working together to determine if quadrilateral CDEF with coordinates C(2, 3), D(1, 2), E(4, 1), and F(5, 3)

mart [117]

Answer:

A. Carla is on the right track because she is finding the slopes of consecutive sides to check for perpendicular sides.

Step-by-step explanation:

Only adjacent sides can be perpendicular, so Jonah's approach of finding slopes of opposite sides cannot work.

Carla is on the right track; choice A.

A cylindrical rainwater tank is 1.5 m tall with a diameter of 1.4 m. What is the maximum volume of rainwater it can hold??

Ket [755]

To work out the volume of a prism, you multiply the area of cross-section by the height (or length).

So for a cylinder, you work out the area of the circle and then multiply it by the height.

Area of circle (or cross-section) = π × radius²

= π × 0.7²

= 0.49π m²

Now to get the volume of the cylinder, you times this area of the cross-section by the height of the cylinder:

Volume = 0.49π × 1.5

= 2.3 m³ (accurate to 2 decimal places)

---------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

The maximum volume of rainwater the cylinder can hold is:

<u> </u><u>2.3 </u><u>m³</u>

Which equation represents an exponential function with an intitial value of 500? f(x) = 100(5)^x, f(x) = 100(x)^5, f(x) = 500(2)

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

f(x) = 500(2)^x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume the initial x value is 0

500(0)^2 = 0

100(0)^5 = 0

500(2)^0 = 500

500(0)^2 = 0
