Answer:

Answer:

Dimensions of rectangle are length = 7 cm and width = 2 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let l = length and w = width of the rectangle.

Given that, length is 5 cm less than 6 times width. Rewriting it in equation form,

L =  6 w - 5  cm

Also given that area of rectangle is 14 cm²

Now using formula for area of rectangle,

Area of rectangle = length × width

Area of rectangle = l × w

Substituting the values,

14 = (6 w - 5) × w

Simplifying by using distributive rule,

14 = 6 w² - 5 w

To find the value of b, use the quadratic formula. So rewriting the equation in quadratic form ax²+bx+c=0

Subtracting 14 on both sides,

0 = 6 w² - 5 w - 14

Rewriting,

6 w² - 5 w - 14  = 0

Now applying quadratic formula,

x=(-b\pm √(b^2-4ac))/(2a)

Rewriting the formula in terms of w,

w=(-b\pm √(b^2-4ac))/(2a)

From the 6 w² - 5 w - 14  = 0, value of a = 6 , b = - 5 and c = - 14.

Substituting the values,

w=(-\left(-5\right)\pm √(\left(-5\right)^2-4\cdot \:6\left(-14\right)))/(2\cdot \:6)

Simplifying,

w=(-\left(-5\right)\pm √(25+336))/(12)

w=(-\left(-5\right)\pm √(361))/(12)

Since √361 = 19,

w=(-\left(-5\right)\pm 19)/(12)

There will be two values of w,

w=(-\left(-5\right)+19)/(12) and w=(-\left(-5\right)-19)/(12)

Simplifying,

w=(5+19)/(12) and w=(5-19)/(12)

w=(24)/(12) and w=(-14)/(12)

Reducing the fraction in lowest form, divide first expression by 12 and second expression by 2.

w=2 and w=(-7)/(6)

Since the length of width cannot be negative, so value of w = 2 cm

To find the value of length, Use equation L =  6 w - 5  cm

L =  6 (2) - 5  cm

L =  12 - 5  cm

L =  7  cm

Therefore l = 7 cm and w = 2 cm are the dimensions of the rectangle.

All sells shirts to fund his college , each shirt costs him $ 12 and he needs to put 50 % marks up . What is the selling price for each shirt ?

Answers

Answer:

$18

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find what the price after the 50% markup is, me must first divide 12 by 50% so we know how much to add.

12 x 50% = 6

So in order to find our mark up price e must add 6, or 50% to 12.

6 + 12 = 18 so your answer is $18.

Hope this helps!

The multiplicative rate of change of the function passing through ordered pairs (0, 10), (1, 5), and (2, 2.5), represented by the function f(x) = 10(0.5)ˣ is  2

What is an equation?

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables

The ordered pairs (0, 10), (1, 5), and (2, 2.5) can be represented by the function f(x) = 10(0.5)ˣ.

Hence the rate of change of the function = 0.5

The multiplicative rate of change of the function = 1/0.5 = 2

f(n+1) = 10 (0.5)^(n+1)
f(n) = 10 (0.5)^n

rate = f(n+1)/f(n) = [10(0.5)^(n+1)] / 10(0.5)^n] = (0.5)^(n+1-n) = (0.5)^1 = 0.5

Answer: 0.5
