We are asked to solve for the width "x" in the given problem. To visualize the problem, see attached drawing.
We have the area of the swimming pool such as:
Area SP = l x w
Area SP = 10 * 16
Area SP = 160 feet2
Area of the swimming pool plus the sidewalk with uniform width:
Area SP + SW = (10 + x) * (16 + x)
160 + 155 = 160 + 10x + 16x + x2
160 -160 + 155 = 26x + x2
155 = 26 x + x2
x2 + 26x -155= 0
Solving for x, we need to use quadratic formula and the answer is 5 feet.

The value of x is <span>5 feet. </span>

Can you explain how a table can be used to find the rate of change
serg [7]

A table will generally give you an output value for each of several input values. To find the average rate of change over some range of inputs, divide the difference between output values by the difference between input values for the corresponding inputs.

For example, consider the table

input .... output

.. 1 ............ 3

.. 3 ........... -5

The average rate of change between these input values is

... (change in output)/(change in input) = (-5 -3)/(3 - 1) = -8/2 = -4.

Justin walked 3 miles north and 6 miles west. starting from the same point, tina walked 2 miles south and 4 miles east. how far
Darya [45]
Basically, Justin and Tina's paths form two right-angled triangles whose hypotenuses(?) form a straight line between their end points. Therefore we need to find the two distances from the starting point and add them.
Justin walked 3 miles north and 6 miles west so his distance from the start is the square root of 9+36 or 45. This can be simplified to 3√5. 
Tina walked 2 miles south and 4 miles east so her distance from the starting point is the square root of 4 + 16 or 20. This can be written as 2√5.
If we add these two distances together we get 5√5. Hence, Justin and Tina are 5√5 miles away from each other.

Which function is equivalent to f(x) = lnx?
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

f(x)=log_ex

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, we can write ln instead of log. WHEN??

Whenever the base of the logarithm is the number "e".

Hence, when we have:

Log_e

We can write it in shortcut as:

Log_e=ln

Hence, ln x can also be written as Log_ex

Fourth answer choice is right.
