Answer: -12 but could be wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't know that format but I'm going to take a guess.

x^2 +2x - 8 -(2x+8) then plug in x=2

x^2 + 2x - 8 - 2x - 8

x^2 -16

= 2^2 - 16 = -12

Now there is a square city of unknown size with a gate at the center of each side. There is a tree 20 b from the north gate. Tha

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

The length of each side of the city is 250b

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$a = 20$ --- tree distance from north gate

$b =14$ --- movement from south gate

$c = 1775$ --- movement in west direction from (b)

See attachment for illustration

Required

Find x

To do this, we have:

$\triangle ADE \sim \triangle ACB$ --- similar triangles

So, we have the following equivalent ratios

$AE:DE = AB:CB$

Where:

$AE = 20\\ DE = x/2 \\ AB = 20 + x + 14 \\ CB = 1775$

Substitute these in the above equation

$20:x/2 = 20 + x + 14: 1775$

$20:x/2 = x + 34: 1775$

Express as fraction

$\frac{20}{x/2} = \frac{x + 34}{1775}$

$\frac{40}{x} = \frac{x + 34}{1775}$

Cross multiply

$x *(x + 34) = 1775 * 40$

Open bracket

$x^2 + 34x = 71000$

Rewrite as:

$x^2 + 34x - 71000 = 0$

Expand

$x^2 + 284x -250x - 71000 = 0$

Factorize

$x(x + 284) -250(x + 284)= 0$

Factor out x + 284

$(x - 250)(x + 284)= 0$

Split

$x - 250 = 0 \ or\ x + 284= 0$

Solve for x

$x = 250 \ or\ x =- 284$

x can't be negative;

So:

$x = 250$

Is a linear model or a quadratic model a better fit

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Quadratic

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear equations are straight lines while quadratics are curved in a "u" shape. These points have a vertex and go up on both sides, a quadratic would be able to better fit this since their y values repeat, unlike linear models.

A full waterbed mattress is 8ft by 2ft by 2ft. The mattress is to be filled with water that weighs 62.4 lb/ft^3. Find the weight

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

1997 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find the volume of the mattress

V = l*w*h

V = 8*2*2

V =32 ft^3

Then multiply by the density

32 ft^3 * 62.4 lb / ft^3 =

1996.8 lbs

To the nearest lb

1997 lbs
