Write and solve a quadratic equation for the situation below. Choose the answer that has both an equation that correctly models

the situation as well as the correct solution for the situation.
You work for a company that produces custom picture frames. A new customer needs to frame a piece of rectangular artwork with dimensions of 11 x 15 in. They don't want the framed art to be too big so they want to limit its area to 320 in ^2. What should the width of the frame be to accommodate their wishes?

a)4x^2+52x+165=320; x = 2.5

b)None of the choices are correct.

c)4x^2+52x+165=320; x = 15.5

d)x^2+26x+165=320; x = 5

Okay so the area of a rectangle x by y with a border of width b will be:

A=(x+2b)(y+2b)

A=xy+2bx+2by+4b^2  we are told that A=320, x=11, and y=15 so now we have:

320=165+22x+30x+4x^2, now I am using x as the border width...

4x^2+55x+165=320  is the equation that they listed..

...

4x^2+55x-155=0  using the quadratic formula for efficiency...

x=(-55±√5505)/8  since x>0

x≈2.399  which for some unknown (incorrect) reason they rounded to

x=2.5

So in short, your answer is a)

Solve the triangle.
vova2212 [387]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  b = 71 m

  A = 83°

  C = 29°

Step-by-step explanation:

Many calculators can solve triangles. Apps are available for phone and tablet, or on the internet, like the one used here. In general, it takes less time to use one of these than to type your question into Brainly.

Given two sides and the angle between them, the Law of Cosines is the appropriate relation to use for finding the third side.

  b = √(a² +c² -2ac·cos(B))

  b = √(76² +37² -2·76·37·cos(67.75°)) ≈ √5015.48

  b ≈ 70.82005 ≈ 71 . . . meters

__

One a side and its opposite angle are known, the remaining angles are found using the Law of Sines.

  sin(A)/a = sin(B)/b

  A = arcsin(a·sin(B)/b) = arcsin(76·sin(67.75°)/70.82005) ≈ 83.33°

  A ≈ 83°

  C = arcsin(37·sin(67.75°)/70.82005) ≈ 28.92°

  C ≈ 29°

Or, you can find the remaining angle from 180° -68° -83°  = 29°.

How many solutions exist for the given equation? <br><br> 3(x-2) =22 -x
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

one solution

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x-2) =22 -x

Distribute

3x - 6 = 22-x

Add x to each side

3x+x-6 = 22-x+x

4x+6 = 22

Subtract 6 from each side

4x+6-6 = 22-6

4x= 16

Divide by 4

4x/4 = 16/4

x=4

There is one solution
