Explanation:

Find the two closest square numbers to 1659.

40*40=1600

41*41=1681

Decide much closer to either 1600 or 1681 is 1659.

If it is exactly halfway between the two numbers, the square root is 40.5.

If it is closer to 1600, the sq rt decimal is between 1 and 4.

If it is closer to 1681, the sq rt decimal is between 6 and 9.

A rectangular portrait measures 50cm by 70cm. It is surrounded by a rectangular frame of uniform width. If the area of the frame

snow_tiger [21]

Let us assume uniform width = x cm wide.

Length of rectangular portrait = 50cm and width of rectangular portrait = 70cm.

Therefore, length of rectangle made by frame = 50 + x+x = (2x+50) cm.

And width of rectangle made by frame = 70+x+x = (2x+70) cm.

We know, the area of rectangular portrait = 50 × 70 = 3500 cm^2.

Total area of the rectangle made by frame would be = (2x+50) * (2x+70)

We know,

Actual area of frame = Area of rectangle made by frame - area of rectangular portrait.

We also given "the area of the frame is the same as the area of the portrait."

We can setup an equation now,

3500 = (2x+50) * (2x+70) - 3500.

Subtracting 3500 from both sides, we get

3500-3500 = (2x+50) * (2x+70) - 3500-3500.

0 = (2x+50) * (2x+70) -7000.

FOIL (2x+50) * (2x+70), we get

0 = 2x*2x +2x*70 + 50*2x +50*70 - 7000.

0 = 4x^2 +140x +100x +3500 -7000.

4x^2 +240x -3500 = 0.

Dividing whole equation by 4, we get

x^2 +60x - 875 =0

Applying quadratic formula $=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$ , we get

$=\frac{-60\pm \sqrt{60^2-4\cdot \:1\left(-875\right)}}{2\cdot \:1}$

$x=\frac{-60+\sqrt{60^2-4\cdot \:1\left(-875\right)}}{2\cdot \:1}=5\left(\sqrt{71}-6\right)$

$x=\frac{-60-\sqrt{60^2-4\cdot \:1\left(-875\right)}}{2\cdot \:1}:\quad -5\left(6+\sqrt{71}\right)$

We cant take negative value.

So, $x=5\left(\sqrt{71}-6\right)=12.13$

We could take approximately 12 cm.

If speed varies inversely as the time it takes to drive and Kris takes 5 hours driving at 55 mph, what speed will Martin need to

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

<em>55mph . None of the options are correct </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

If the speed varies inversely as the time it takes to drive, then v ∝ 1/t. where;

v is the speed

t is the time taken

Hence;

v = k/t with k being the constant of proportionality.

Since it takes Kris 5 hours when driving at 55 mph, we will substitute v = 55mph and t = 5 hours. into the equation above to get the value of k as shown:

55 = k/5

Cross multiply

k = 55*5

k = 275

Hence, to calculate the speed it will Martin to drive for 5 hours, we will substitute k = 275 and t = 5 into the original equation v = k/t as shownl

v = 275/5

v = 55 mph

<em>Hence, we can conclude that Martin will also need to drive at a speed of 55mph if he wants to take 5hours.</em>

A quadratic pattern has a second term equal to 1,a third term equal to -16 and a fifth term equal to -14

chubhunter [2.5K]

Given are several terms in a quadratic pattern:

a1 = ?
a2 = 1
a3 = -16
a4 = ?
a5 = -14

let:

x y
1 ?
2 1
3 -16
4 ?
5 -14

considering the 2nd term and 3rd term, we can determine a quadratic function:

y = -17x + 35

therefore,

a1 = 18
a4 = -33

Compute P7,2. (Enter an exact number.)

Katarina [22]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The permutation formula is P(n, r) = n! / (n - r)!. We know that n = 7 and r = 2 so we can write:

7! / (7 - 2)!

= 7! / 5!

= 7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 / 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1

= 7 * 6 (5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 cancels out)

= 42
