Considering the area of a rectangle, it is found that the area of Bob's remaining plot of land is of 12.5 acres.

<h3>What is the area of a rectangle?</h3>

The area of a rectangle of length l and width w is given by the multiplication of these dimensions, that is:
A = lw.

In this problem, both the length and the width are divided in half, hence the proportion remaining is given by:

A = 0.5l x 0.5w = 0.25lw = 25% of the initial area.

Hence:

0.25 x 50 = 12.5.

The area of Bob's remaining plot of land is of 12.5 acres.

The model represents an equation. What value of x makes the equation true?
ch4aika [34]

Let's build the equation counting how many x's and 1's are there on each side.

On the left hand side we have 5x's and 8 1's, for a total of 5x+8

On the left hand side we have 3x's and 10 1's, for a total of 3x+10

So, the equation we want to solve is

5x+8 = 3x+10

Subtract 3x from both sides:

2x+8 = 10

Subtract 8 from both sides:

2x=2

Divide both sides by 2:

x=1

Let $r$ and $s$ be the roots of $3x^2 + 4x + 12 = 0.$ Find $r^2 + s^2.$ Pls help.
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

-56/9

Step-by-step explanation:

By Vieta's formulas,

$r + s = -\frac{4}{3}$ and $rs = \frac{12}{3} = 4.$ Squaring the equation $r + s = -\frac{4}{3},$ we get

$r^2 + 2rs + s^2 = \frac{16}{9}.$ Therefore,

$r^2 + s^2 = \frac{16}{9} - 2rs = \frac{16}{9} - 2 \cdot 4 = -\frac{56}{9}}$
