The length of a rectangle is 5 feet less than 3 times its width. A. Write a rule for the area A as a function of the width w. B. What is the area of the rectangle when its width is 2 feet?

A. A = (3w - 5) * w

B. 2 feet squared

Explanation:

A. The length is 5 less than 3 times the width. To write the rule for this, you’d subtract 5 from 3 times the width (3w - 5). The area is the length times the width so the rule would be:

A = (3w - 5) * w

——————————

B. Plug in 2 for w using the given rule.

A = (3[2] - 5) * (2)

Distribute

(6 - 5) * 2

Subtract 5 from 6

1 * 2 = 2

The answer is 2 feet squared since this is area.

hey! so 1 (25) out of 4 (100) is 25 so your answer is 25%. it's like quarters!

d. 24+-0.114

step-by-step explanation:

the question requires us to calculate the approximate 95% confidence interval for the mean number of ounces of ketchup per bottle in the sample given the following statistics;

sample mean = 24

standard deviation, σ = 0.4

sample size , n = 49

the confidence interval for a population mean is calculated using the formula;

sample mean ± z-score*(σ/sqrt(n))

the z-score associated with a 95% confidence interval, from the standard normal tables, is;

1.96

substituting these values into the formula;

24 ± 1.96*(0.4/7)

= 24 ± 0.112

from the alternatives given, choice d is closest to the above expression;
