Given:
plot of land doubles in size.
original plot area 200 by 300 meters

Area = 200m * 300m
A = 60,000 m²  original plot area

60,000m
² x 2 = 120,000 m²

(200m + x)(300m + x) = 120,000 m²

60,000m² + 200m*x + 300m * x + x² = 120,000 m²

x² + 500x + 60,000 = 120,000
x² + 500x + 60,000 - 120,000 = 0
x² + 500x - 60,000 = 0

x = -b <u>+</u> (√b² - 4ac)/2a 

a = 1 ; b = 500 ; c = -60,000

x = -500 + (√500² - 4(1)(-60,000)) / 2(1)
x = (-500 + (√250,000 + 240,000)) / 2 
x = (-500 + 700)/ 2
x = 200 / 2
x = 100 meters

(200 + x)(300 + x) = 120,000
(200 + 100)(300 + 100) = 120,000
300 * 400 = 120,000
120,000 = 120,000

The graph shows a function.<br> Find the value of b and d.
True [87]

Answer:

<em>The required values are b=-6 and d=4</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph corresponds to the function

r(x) =x^2+bx^2+8x+d

We are required to find the values of b and d.

They can be found by using two points that are clearly visible on the graph. For example, the points (0,4) and (2,0) belong to the function. Substituting their values in the function:

4 =0^2+b*0^2+8*0+d

Simplifying:

4 = d

d = 4

Now use the point (2,0):

0 =2^2+b*2^2+8*2+d

Since d=4, and calculating

0 =4+4b+16+4

Simplifying:

4b = -24

Dividing by 4:

b = -24/4 = -6

b = -6

The required values are b=-6 and d=4

Answer:

The inequality is 6 + 3x ≤ 12 or x ≤ 2 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that $6 is for admission which is a fixed amount, $3 is charged per hour and must not spend more than $12. So the inequality will be :

Let x be the no. of hours,

6 + 3x ≤ 12

Solve :

6 + 3x ≤ 12

3x ≤ 12 - 6

3x ≤ 6

x ≤ 6 ÷ 3

x ≤ 2
