Answer:

300 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Thinking process:

You need to know the conversion:

1 hectogram = 0.1 kg

Therefore, 7000 hectograms gives:

$7000 (0.1) = 700 kg$

The elevator can take a maximum of 1 000kg.

The reminder is $1000 - 700\\= 300 kg$

The elevator will take 300 kg more

You have 42 ft. of fencing (1 ft. segments) to make a rectangular garden. How much should each side be to maximize your total ar

Verizon [17]

Answer:

$Length=10.5\ ft$

$Width=10.5\ ft$

$Area=110.25\ ft^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x----> the length of the rectangular garden

y---> the width of the rectangular garden

we know that

The perimeter of the rectangle is equal to

$P=2(x+y)$

we have

$P=42\ ft$

so

$42=2(x+y)$

simplify

$21=(x+y)$

$y=21-x$ ------> equation A

Remember that the area of rectangle is equal to

$A=xy$ ----> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B

$A=x(21-x)$

$A=21x-x^{2}$ ----> this is a vertical parabola open downward

The vertex is a maximum

The y-coordinate of the vertex is the maximum area

The x-coordinate of the vertex is the length side of the rectangle that maximize the area

using a graphing tool

The vertex is the point $(10.5,110.25)$

see the attached figure

so

$x=10.5\ ft$

Find the value of y

$y=21-10.5=10.5\ ft$

The garden is a square

the area is equal to

$A=(10.5)(10.5)=110.25\ ft^{2}$ ----> is equal to the y-coordinate of the vertex is correct

9x + Зу = -3<br> 2х - у = -4

Irina18 [472]

Answer: (-1, 2)

explanation:

3(2x-y=-4)
6x-3y=-12

9x+3y=-3
6x-3y=-12

15x=-15
x=-1

2(-1) - y = -4
-2-y=-4
-y=-2
y=2

What is the factorization of the polynomial below?<br> 5x2 - 35x + 60

natita [175]

Answer:

$5(x-3)(x-4)$

Step-by-step explanation:

$5x^2-35x+60$

Start by factoring out a 5:

$5(x^2-7x+12)$

We need to find two integers that have a product of 12, and a sum of -7:

(-3)(-4)=12

-3-4=-7

We can split -7x into -3x and -4x

$5(x^2-3x-4x+12)$

Factor each half separately:

$5[x(x-3)-4(x-3)]$

Since x and -4 are both being multiplied by x-3, we can combine them:

$5(x-3)(x-4)$
