Not Drawnto Scale(x - 2)cmDThe Diagram Shows Two Joined Rectangles.The Total Area Of The Compound ShapeABCDEF

Answers

Answer 1

First find the areas of the two separate rectangles where:

Area of rectangle = length x width

Area of the small rectangle = x(x–4)

Area of small rectangle = [tex]x^{2} -4x[/tex]

Area of big rectangle = (x–2)(2x+x)

Area of big rectangle = (x–2)(3x)

Area of big rectangle = [tex]3x^{2} -6x[/tex]

The total area of the compound shape is 36, therefore:

[tex]3x^{2} -6x +x^{2} -4x=36[/tex]

[tex]4x^{2} -10x-36=0[/tex] (collecting like-terms and by bringing the +36 to the other side)

By dividing this by 2, you get:

[tex]2(2x^{2} -5x-18)=0[/tex]

[tex]2x^{2} -5x-18=0[/tex]

To find the length of AB (x), solve the quadratic by either factorising, completing the square or by using the quadratic formula, etc to solve for x.

[tex]2x^{2} -5x-18=0[/tex]

[tex](2x-9)(x+2)=0[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{9}{2}[/tex]

[tex]x=-2[/tex]

However, a length cannot be negative, so x must be [tex]\frac{9}{2}[/tex] or 4.5cm, so length AB = 4.5cm.

Hope this helps :)

The half life of a radioactive substance is 10 years. If 64 grams are placed in a
container, how much will remain after 50 years?

Answers

Answer:

2 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

50 years is 5 half lives as 1 half life is 10 years.

64 divide 2 = 32-1 half life

32 divide 2 =16-2nd half life

16 divide 2 = 8-3rd half life

8 divide 2 = 4-4th half life

4 divide 2 = 2-5th half life

This means we will have 2 grams left of the radioactive substance after 50 years.

Cross multiplication, cross multiplication involves algebra to use.

Let x be our answer for this problem. Here is our it would look like

[tex]\frac{6}{144}=\frac{15}{x}[/tex], now we will cross multiply, here is what it'd look like now.

[tex]6x=2160[/tex], then do simple algebra and divide both sides by 6. and then we get [tex]x=360[/tex] miles in 15 hours.

While moving up on the rope-way, I noticed that the seat place in the opposite direction was numbered as 95. Behind it was number 0, then 1, 2 and so on. My seat place was numbered as 66. What number should I meet when I am in the middle of my one-way route?

Answers

The seat in the middle of the one-way route is 34

The seats are given as:

[tex]First= 0[/tex] --- the first seat behind the seat number 95

[tex]Last= 66[/tex] --- my seat

The seat number half-way would be:

[tex]Half = \frac{Last - First}{2} + 1[/tex]

This gives

[tex]Half = \frac{66- 0}{2} + 1[/tex]

Subtract 0 from 66

[tex]Half = \frac{66}{2} + 1[/tex]

Divide 66 by 2

[tex]Half = 33 + 1[/tex]

Add 33 and 1

[tex]Half = 34[/tex]

Hence, the seat in the middle of the one-way route is 34

If x = 1 and y = 2 is a solution to the simultaneous equation ax + by = 2 and bx + a^(2)y = 10, find the possible values of a and b.

Answers

Answer:

a = - 2, [tex]\frac{9}{4}[/tex] , b = 2, - [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since x = 1, y = 2 is a solution to the equations , then substitute these values into the 2 equations and solve for a and b

a + 2b = 2 → (1)

b + 2a² = 10 → (2)

In (1) subtract 2b from both sides

a = 2 - 2b → (3)

Substitute a = 2 - 2b into (2)

b + 2(2 - 2b)² = 10 ← expand parenthesis using FOIL

b + 2(4 - 8b + 4b²) = 10 ( simplify left side )

b + 8 - 16b + 8b² = 10 ( subtract 10 from both sides )

8b² - 15b - 2 = 0

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the b² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the b- term

product = 8 × - 2 = - 16 and sum = - 15

The factors are - 16 and + 1

Use these factors to split the b- term

8b² - 16b + b - 2 = 0 ( factor first/second and third/fourth terms )

8b(b - 2) + 1(b - 2) = 0 ← factor out (b - 2) from each term

(b - 2)(8b + 1) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for b

b - 2 = 0 ⇒ b = 2

8b + 1 = 0 ⇒ 8b = - 1 ⇒ b = - [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]

Substitute these values into (3) and evaluate for a

b = 2 ⇒ a = 2 - 2(2) = 2 - 4 = - 2

b = - [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex] ⇒ a = 2 - 2(- [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex] ) = 2 + [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] = 2 [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{9}{4}[/tex]

The possible values of a and b are 8, -3 or 9/4 , -1/8 respectively.

What is an equation ?

An equation is a combination of different variables, in which two mathematical expressions are equal to each other.

The given equations are,

ax + by = 2            (1)

and bx + a²y = 10        (2)

Also, x = 1 and y = 2 are the solution of the equation,

Substitute x = 1 and y = 2in equation (1),

a(1) + b(2) = 2

a + 2b = 2       (3)

Further substitute x = 1 and y = 2 in equation (2),

b(1) + a²(2)  = 10  

2a² + b = 10         (4)

By solving equation (3) and (4),

The possible values of a are 8 and 9/4.

And possible value of b are -3 and -1/8.
