Statement Problem: Find the value of x in the diagram below, given the perimeter of a rectangle as 20centimeters.
Solution:
The perimeter of a rectangle is;
[tex]P=2(l+w)[/tex]Where the length and width of the given rectangle is;
[tex]\begin{gathered} l=(x+3)cm \\ w=(x+1)cm \end{gathered}[/tex]Thus, the value of x is;
[tex]\begin{gathered} 2(l+w)=20 \\ 2(x+3+x+1)=20 \\ \text{Divide both sides by 2},\text{ we have;} \\ \frac{2\mleft(x+3+x+1\mright)}{2}=\frac{20}{2} \\ x+3+x+1=10 \\ \text{Collect like terms, we have;} \\ 2x+4=10 \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]Then, we subtract 4 from both sides of the equation, we have;
[tex]\begin{gathered} 2x+4-4=10-4 \\ 2x=6 \\ \text{Divide both sides by 2, we have;} \\ \frac{2x}{2}=\frac{6}{2} \\ x=3 \end{gathered}[/tex]The value of x is 3

Answers
Given:
The initial population of bacteria, I = 20
Growth rate, r = 28%
Explanation:
a) To find: The time
i) Double its size
Using the formula,
[tex]F=I(1+r)^t,\text{ Where I denotes initial and F denotes Final size.}[/tex]On substitution we get,
[tex]\begin{gathered} 40=20(1+0.28)^t \\ 1.28^t=\frac{40}{20} \\ t=\log _{1.28}2 \\ t=2.81 \end{gathered}[/tex]Thus, the answer is 2.81 hours.
ii) To reach 500000 bacteria:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 500000=20(1+0.28)^t \\ 1.28^t=\frac{500000}{20} \\ t=\log _{1.28}(25000) \\ t=41.02\text{ hours} \end{gathered}[/tex]Thus, the answer is 41.02 hours.
b) To find the bacteria size:
i) In 3 hours,
[tex]\begin{gathered} F=20(1+0.28)^3 \\ =41.94304 \\ \approx42 \end{gathered}[/tex]Thus, the size of bacteria in 3 hours is 42.
i) In 3.5 days,
That is, 84 hours
[tex]\begin{gathered} F=20(1+0.28)^{84} \\ =20261306488.67 \\ \approx20261306489 \end{gathered}[/tex]Thus, the size of bacteria in 3.5 days is 20261306489.
The volume of a gas, such as helium or air, varies inversely with the pressure on it. If the volume of air is 325 cubic inches under a pressure of 11 psi, what pressure has to be applied to decrease the volume to 143 cubic inches?
Answers
ANSWER
The pressure is 25 psi
STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:
From the question provided, you can see that the relationship between the volume of a gas and the pressure is an inverse relationship.
The volume of a gas varies inversely with the pressure on it
This implies that as the volume of the gas increases the pressure of the gas decreases and vice versa.
The next thing is to assign variables
Let the volume of the gas be V
Let the pressure of the gas be P
Mathematically, this can be represented as
[tex]\begin{gathered} V\text{ }\propto\text{ }\frac{1}{P} \\ \text{Introduce a proportionality constant K} \\ V\text{ = }\frac{K}{P} \\ \text{Cross multiply} \\ K\text{ = VP -------- equation 1} \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]The next step is to find the value of K from the given information in the question
• Volume = 325 cubic inches
,• Pressure = 11 psi
Recall that, K = VP
K = 325 * 11
K = 3,575
Since you have gotten the value of K, then, you can now find your pressure when the volume Is 143 cubic inches
[tex]\begin{gathered} V=143inches^3 \\ K\text{ = 3,575} \\ K\text{ = VP} \\ \text{Divide both sides by V} \\ \frac{K}{V}\text{ = }\frac{VP}{V} \\ P\text{ = }\frac{K}{V} \\ P\text{ = }\frac{3575}{143} \\ P\text{ = 25 ps}i. \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, the pressure is 25 psi

Given:
[tex]x^2-2x+y-4=0[/tex]Let's complete the square to find the vertex of the parabola.
To solve first move all terms not containing y to the right side of the equation:
[tex]y=-x^2+2x+4[/tex]Now, take the vertex form of a parabola:
[tex]y=a(x-h)^2+k[/tex]Apply the standard form of a parabola:
[tex]\begin{gathered} ax^2+bx+c \\ \\ -x^2+2x+4 \end{gathered}[/tex]Thus, we have:
a = -1
b = 2
c = 4
Now, to find the value of h, we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} h=-\frac{b}{2a} \\ \\ h=-\frac{2}{2(-1)} \\ \\ h=-\frac{2}{-2} \\ \\ h=1 \end{gathered}[/tex]To find the value of k, we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} k=c-\frac{b^2}{4a} \\ \\ k=4-\frac{2^2}{4(-1)} \\ \\ k=4-\frac{4}{-4} \\ \\ k=4+1 \\ \\ k=5 \end{gathered}[/tex]We have the values:
h = 1
k = 5

For the second group, we have
[tex]\begin{gathered} 75x+100 \\ \text{GCE}=25(\frac{75x}{25}+\frac{100}{25}) \\ \text{GCE}=25 \end{gathered}[/tex]The GCE for the secod group is 25
To factorise completely, we have
[tex]\begin{gathered} 3x^3+4x^2+75x+100 \\ \\ x^2(\frac{3x^3}{x^2}+\frac{4x^2}{x^2})+25(\frac{75x}{25}+\frac{100}{25}) \end{gathered}[/tex]Then by simplification, we have
[tex]\begin{gathered} x^2(3x+4)+25(3x+4) \\ \text{Then, we factor completely to get} \\ (3x+4)(x^2+25) \end{gathered}[/tex]Then factors are (3x +4)(x²+ 25)
To find the real root, we equate each of the factors to zero, hence
[tex]\begin{gathered} (3x+4)(x^2+25)=0 \\ \text{Then} \\ 3x+4=0orx^2+25=0 \\ 3x=-40rx^2=-25 \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]Thus
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{3x}{3}=-\frac{4}{3} \\ x=-\frac{4}{3}\text{ is a real root } \\ or\text{ } \\ x^2=-25 \\ \text{take square root} \\ x=\pm_{}\sqrt[]{-25}\text{ not a real root} \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, since the root of -25 is a complex number,
The only real root is x = -4/3

Answers
To graph each equation in the system, you can give it x-values, plug into the equations, and get values for Y.
Since a single line passes through two points, just take two values of x for each equation. So, for the first you have for example
*If x = 3
[tex]\begin{gathered} y=-x-2 \\ y=-3-2 \\ y=-5 \\ \text{ So} \\ (3,-5) \end{gathered}[/tex]*If x = -4
[tex]\begin{gathered} y=-x-2 \\ y=-(-4)-2 \\ y=4-2 \\ y=2 \\ \text{ So,} \\ (-4,2) \end{gathered}[/tex]For the second equation you have for example
*If x = 1
[tex]\begin{gathered} y+2=-x \\ y+2=-1 \\ y+2-2=-1-2 \\ y=-3 \\ \text{ So,} \\ (1,-3) \end{gathered}[/tex]*if x = -1
[tex]\begin{gathered} y+2=-(-1) \\ y+2=1 \\ y+2-2=1-2 \\ y=-1 \\ \text{ So,} \\ (-1,-1) \end{gathered}[/tex]Now, graphing the equations you have
As you can see, the lines associated with this system of equations overlap, that is, they share infinite solution points.
Therfore, the correct answer is C. infinitely many solutions.

We can use the annuity formula to calculate the monthly payment (PMT) as:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{PMT}=\frac{P(\frac{r}{n})}{\lbrack1-(1+\frac{r}{n})^{-nt}\rbrack} \\ \text{PMT}=\frac{14000\cdot(\frac{0.06}{12})}{\lbrack1-(1+\frac{0.06}{12})^{-12\cdot5}\rbrack} \\ \text{PMT}=\frac{14000\cdot0.005}{\lbrack1-1.005^{-60}\rbrack} \\ \text{PMT}\approx\frac{14000\cdot0.005}{1-0.74137} \\ \text{PMT}\approx\frac{70}{0.25863} \\ \text{PMT}\approx270.66 \end{gathered}[/tex]Answer: the monthly payments will be $270.66

So we need to solve the following equation:
[tex]\log (5x)+\log (2x)=1[/tex]There are a few properties of logarithmic functions that we should remember. First, the logarithm of a negative number doesn't exist which means that x must be a positive number. Second, the addition of logarithms meets the following property:
[tex]\log (a)+\log (b)=\log (a\cdot b)[/tex]If we apply this to our equation we get:
[tex]\log (5x)+\log (2x)=\log (5x\cdot2x)=\log (10x^2)=1[/tex]Now we can pass the logarithm to the right side of the equation:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \log (10x^2)=1 \\ 10x^2=10^1=10 \\ 10x^2=10 \\ x^2=1 \end{gathered}[/tex]There are two possible solutions for x^2=1. These are x=1 and x=-1, however as I stated before x can't be a negative number which means that the solution of the equation is:

[tex]\begin{equation*} 0.40824 \end{equation*}[/tex]EXPLANATION
We want to find the probability that a randomly selected adult has an IQ between 100 and 120.
To do this, first, we have to find the z-score for 100 and 120 using the formula:
[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]where x = IQ score
σ = standard deviation
μ = mean
Hence, for an IQ score of 100, the z-score is:
[tex]\begin{gathered} z=\frac{100-100}{15}=\frac{0}{15} \\ z=0 \end{gathered}[/tex]For an IQ score of 120, the z-score is:
[tex]\begin{gathered} z=\frac{120-100}{15}=\frac{20}{15} \\ z=1.33 \end{gathered}[/tex]Now, to find the probability of an IQ score between 100 and 120, apply the formula:
[tex]\begin{gathered} P(100Using the standard normal table, we have that:[tex]\begin{gathered} P(z<1.33)=0.90824 \\ P(z<0)=0.5 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the probability is:

you can solve the previous equation for x to determine the number of people:
35x + 75 = 38x subtract 35x both sides
75 = 38x - 35x
75 = 3x divide by 3 both sides
75/3 = x
