Let x be the number of rows and y be the number of trees per row.

x* y = 112
and y =  2x - 2
from first equation  y = 112/x
so  112/x = 2x - 2
112 = 2x^2 - 2x
2x^2 - 2x - 112 = 0
x^2 - x - 56 = 0
(x - 8)(x + 7) = 0
x = 8 , - 7   (ignore the negative)
so the number of rows = 8 
and number of trees per row = 112/8 = 14

Answer number of rows = 8 and number trees i each row = 14.

Evaluate the definite integral using the graph of f(x)<br> (Image included)
Tanya [424]

a) The first integral corresponds to the area under y = f(x) on the interval [0, 3], which is a right triangle with base 3 and height 5, hence the integral is

\displaystyle \int_0^3 f(x) \, dx = \frac12 \times 3 \times 5 = \boxed{\frac{15}2}

b) The integral is zero since the areas under the curve over [3, 4] and [4, 5] are equal but opposite in sign. In other words, on the interval [3, 5], f(x) is symmetric and odd about x = 4, so

\displaystyle \int_3^5 f(x) \, dx = \int_3^4 f(x) \, dx + \int_4^5 f(x) \, dx = \int_3^4 f(x) \, dx - \int_3^4 f(x) \, dx = \boxed{0}

c) The integral over [5, 9] is the negative of the area of a rectangle with length 9 - 5 = 4 and height 5, so

\displaystyle \int_5^9 f(x) \, dx = -4\times5 = -20

Then by linearity, we have

\displaystyle \int_0^9 f(x) \, dx = \left\{\int_0^3 + \int_3^5 + \int_5^9\right\} f(x) \, dx = \frac{15}2 + 0 - 20 = \boxed{-\frac{25}2}

Use the long division method to find the result when 9x^3+18x^2+20x+169x 3 +18x 2 +20x+16 is divided by 3x+43x+4.
fenix001 [56]

Given:

Dividend = 9x^3+18x^2+20x+16

Divisor = 3x+4

To find:

The quotient and remainder by using the long division method.

Solution:

Using the long division method, divide the polynomial 9x^3+18x^2+20x+16 by 3x+4 as shown below:

3x+4 |\overline{9x^3+18x^2+20x+16}|3x^2+2x+4\\

         9x^3+12x^2\\\underline{(-)\quad (-)\quad \quad \quad}

             0+6x^2+20x

                   6x^2+8x\\\underline{(-)\quad (-)\quad \quad \quad}

                       0+12x+16  

                             12x+8\\\underline{(-)\quad (-)}

                                     \underline{\quad 0\quad}

Therefore, the quotient is 3x^2+2x+4 and the remainder is 0.
