The dimensions of the pool would give a quadratic equation x² + 28x - 770 = 0

<h3>How to determine the dimension</h3>

For the pool, we have that;

Let the width = x feet

Length = (x+8) feet

The pool alongside the walkway gives;

Width = x + 5 + 5 = (x + 10) feet

Length = x + 8 + 5 + 5 = (x + 18) feet

Total area of the pool with walkway = 950 square feet

Note that formula for area is given as

Area = length * width = 950

Equate the length and width

(x+18)  × (x + 10) = 950

Using the  FOIL method, we have;

(x × x )+ (x × 10) + (18 × x) + (18 × 10) = 950

x² + 10x + 18x + 180 -950 = 0  

collect like terms

x² + 28x - 770 = 0

Thus, the dimensions of the pool would give a quadratic equation x² + 28x - 770 = 0

Answer:

3 3/10

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to do this, you need to find the least common multiple. When you do that, you get 5/10 and 2 8/10. Next, what you what to do is turn 2 and 8/10 to an improper fraction,  and when you do that you get 28/10. Add 28/10 and 5/10 to get 33/10. Simplify 33/10, and the correct answer is 3 3/10.

Simplify the expression -5+i/2i Can someone please explain this to me!
Aleks04 [339]
Think of it as -5+1i/2i, since 1i=i. From there, the i's could cancel out since dividing a number by itself would just equal 1. It would then be -5+1/2 which would be simplified to -4 1/2. No need to worry about those i's at all!
