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

Math! 30 points + brainliest
Ronch [10]

Answer:

A) 9.56x10^38 ergs

B) 7.4x10^-3 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

A) 9.56x10^38 ergs B) 7.4x10^-3 mm A). For the sun, just multiply the power by time, so 3.9x10^33 erg/sec * 2.45x10^5 sec = 9.56x10^38 B) Of the two values 7.4x10^-3 and 7.4x10^3, the value 7.4x10^-3 is far more reasonable as a measurement for blood cell. Reason becomes quite evident if you take the 7.4x10^3 value and convert to a non-scientific notation value. Since the exponent is positive, shift the decimal point to the right. So 7.4x10^3 mm = 7400 mm, or in easier to understand terms, over 7 meters. That is way too large for a blood cell when you consider that you need a microscope to see one. Now the 7.4x10^-3 mm value converts to 0.0074 mm which is quite small and would a reasonable size for a blood cell.

Outside temperature over a day can be modeled as a sinusoidal function. Suppose you know the temperature is 45 degrees at midnig
Nady [450]

Answer:

D = 45+19*sin(\frac{\pi}{12}*t)

Step-by-step explanation:

The amplitude (A) and the mean (M) temperature are given by:

A=\frac{64-26}{2}\\ A= 19\\M=\frac{64+26}{2}\\ M= 45\\

The mean temperature, 45 degrees. occurs at midnight (t=0) and the frequency is f=24h. Therefore, the temperature D, in degrees, as a function of t, in hours, is:

D = M+A*sin(\frac{2\pi}{24}*t)\\D = 45+19*sin(\frac{\pi}{12}*t)
