$4+2\sqrt{31}\text{ by } -4+2\sqrt{31}$

Or about 15.136 centimeters by 7.136 centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the area of a rectangle is given by:

$\displaystyle A = w\ell$

Where w is the width and l is the length.

We are given that the length is 8 centimeters longer than the width. In other words:

$\ell = w+8$

And we are also given that the total area is 108 square centimeters.

Thus, substitute:

(108)=w(w+8)

Solve for w. Distribute:

w^2+8w=108

Subtract 108 from both sides:

w^2+8w-108=0

Since the equation is not factorable, we can use the quadratic formula:

$\displaystyle x = \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

In this case, a = 1, b = 8, and c = -108. Substitute and evaluate:

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned} w&= \frac{-(8)\pm\sqrt{(8)^2-4(1)(-108)}}{2(1)} \\ \\ &=\frac{-8\pm\sqrt{496}}{2}\\ \\ &=\frac{-8\pm4\sqrt{31}}{2} \\ \\ &=-4 \pm 2\sqrt{31} \end{aligned}$

So, our two solutions are:

$w=-4+2\sqrt{31} \approx 7.136 \text{ or } w=-4-2\sqrt{31}\approx -15.136$

Since width cannot be negative, we can eliminate the second solution.

And since the length is eight centimeters longer than the width, the length is:

$\ell =(-4+2\sqrt{31})+8=4+2\sqrt{31}\approx 15.136$

So, the dimensions of the rectangle are about 15.136 cm by 7.136 cm.

i found the life tables for the year 2012.

life table of males at age 30. probability of dying between ages x and x+1

total population:

29–30 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001030

30–31 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001061

males:

29–30 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001420

white males

29–30 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001372

30–31 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001399

non hispanic white population

29–30 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001083

30–31 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001116

non hispanic white males

29–30 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001477

30–31 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001503

jacob, non hispanic white male. 30 years old.

probability that jacob lives to be 30 years old.

since the given probabilities are probabilities of dying, i think we simply subtract it from 1 to get the probability of living. we will use the probability of non hispanic white male.

probability of living to be 30 y.o.

29 - 30 : 1 - 0.001477 = 0.998523

30 - 31 : 1 - 0.001503 = 0.998497
