Answer:

The length of the plywood diagonal is $4.387\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> the length of the rectangle

y----> the width of the rectangle

we know that

The diagonal of rectangle is equal to

$d=\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2} }$ -----> equation A

$d=y+3$ ----> equation B

$x=3y$ -----> equation C

substitute equation C and equation B in equation A and solve for y

$(y+3)=\sqrt{(3y)^{2}+y^{2}}$

squared both sides

$(y+3)^{2}=10y^{2}\\ \\y^{2}+6y+9=10y^{2}\\ \\9y^{2}-6y-9=0$

Solve the quadratic equation by graphing

The solution is $y=1.387\ units$

see the attached figure

Find the value of d

$d=y+3$ ----- > $d=1.387+3=4.387\ units$

G identify the solution of the recurrence relation an = 6an − 1 – 8an − 2 for n ≥ 2 together with the initial conditions a0 = 4,

maksim [4K]

Via the generating function method, let

$G(x)=\displaystyle\sum_{n\ge0}a_nx^n$

Then take the recurrence,

$a_n=6a_{n-1}-8a_{n-2}$

multiply everything by $x^n$ and sum over all $n\ge2$ :

$\displaystyle\sum_{n\ge2}a_nx^n=6\sum_{n\ge2}a_{n-1}x^n-8\sum_{n\ge2}a_{n-2}x^n$

Re-index the sums or add/remove terms as needed in order to be able to express them in terms of $G(x)$ :

$\displaystyle\sum_{n\ge2}a_nx^n=\sum_{n\ge0}a_nx^n-(a_0-a_1x)=G(x)-4-10x$

$\displaystyle\sum_{n\ge2}a_{n-1}x^n=\sum_{n\ge1}a_nx^{n+1}=x\sum_{n\ge1}a_nx^n=x\left(G(x)-a_0\right)=x(G(x)-4)$

$\displaystyle\sum_{n\ge2}a_{n-2}x^n=\sum_{n\ge0}a_nx^{n+2}=x^2\sum_{n\ge0}a_nx^n=x^2G(x)$

So the recurrence relation is transformed to

$G(x)-4-10x=6x(G(x)-4)-8x^2G(x)$
$(1-6x+8x^2)G(x)=4-14x$
$G(x)=\dfrac{4-14x}{1-6x+8x^2}=\dfrac{4-14x}{(1-4x)(1-2x)}=\dfrac1{1-4x}+\dfrac3{1-2x}$

For appropriate values of $x$ , we can express the RHS in terms of geometric power series:

$G(x)=\displaystyle\sum_{n\ge0}(4x)^n+3\sum_{n\ge0}(2x)^n=\sum_{n\ge0}\bigg(4^n+3\cdot2^n\bigg)x^n$

which tells us that

$a_n=4^n+3\cdot2^n$

A playground measures 300 m × 170 m.Find the cost of planting grass on this at the rate of Rs 80 per hectare.

Ierofanga [76]

<h2><u>Answer</u> :-</h2>

To find the cost of planting grass , we have to find area of the field.

Area of field = Length × Breadth

${= 300×170}$

${=51000 sq. m}$

Now convert into hectare.

1 hectare = 10000m sq.

51000 / 10000

So area field = 5.1 hectare sq.

Now cost = 5.1 x 0.80 p

${= 0.408 p}$

vovangra [49]

Complete question :

Each state imposes its own excise tax on gasoline. Suppose, for example, that the state of Massachusetts imposes a state gasoline tax of $0.26 per gallon. Suppose further that an average of 1,022,000 gallons of gasoline per day were sold in Massachusetts in 2010. The average revenue from gasoline tax in 2010 is approximately?

Answer:

$265,720

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

State gasoline tax = $0.26 per gallon

Average number of gasoline sold per day = 1,022,000 gallons

. From the availabke information given :

Revenue generated = gasoline tax per gallon multiplied by the average number of gallons sold

= $0.26 * 1,022,000

= $265,720
