144=(x+7)^2  take the square root of both sides...

12=x+7  subtract 7 from both sides...

x=5

So the original was a 5m square.

...

255=WL and you are told that W=L+2 so the equation becomes:

255=(L+2)L

255=L^2+2L

L^2+2L-255=0

L^2+17L-15L-255=0

L(L+17)-15(L+17)=0

(L-15)(L+17)=0  Since L>0...

L=15yd, and since W=L+2, W=17yd so

length=15, width=17yd

How do I solve question 5?
Nezavi [6.7K]
A) x^2 + y^2 = 80
B) x * y = 12

What is x^2 -y^2?
B) x * y = 12
So y = 12 / x
A) x^2 + (12/x)^2 = 80
x^2 + (12/x)^2 = 80
x^2 + (144/x^2) = 80
Multiplying each side by x^2
x^4 + 144 = 80x^2
x^4 -80x^2 + 144 = 0
X = 1.355 (found by trial and error)
Y = <span> <span> <span> 8.85608</span></span></span> (found by trial and error)

Kate purchased a car for $23,000. It will depreciate by a rate of 12% a year. What is the value of the car in 4 years. *
Ivan

Answer:

$13,793

Step-by-step explanation:

Kate purchased a car for $23,000. It will depreciate by a rate of 12% a year. What is the value of the car in 4 years. *

The formula for Depreciation rate =

y = a(1 - r) ^t

Where

y = Value of the car after t years

a = Initial value of the car = $23,000

t= time in years = 4 years

r = Depreciation rate = 12% = 0.12)

y = $23000 (1 - 0.12)⁴

y = $13792.99328

Approximately = $13,793:
