Answer:
2 bags of topsoil.
Step-by-step explanation:
The attached figure shows a flower bed.
One bag of topsoil covers 15 square meters.
We need to find how many bags of topsoil does Tom need to cover his flower bed.
The area of the flower bed is :
Let he has to cover x bags of topsoil. So,
x = Area of flower bed/Area of 1 bag of top soil
x = 30/15
x = 2
Hence, he will need 2 bags of topsoil to cover his flower bed.
Answer:
( , 8 )
Step-by-step explanation:
the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
y = 10x - 2 ← is in slope- intercept form
with slope m = 10
Parallel lines have equal slopes
then the tangent to the parabola with a slope of 10 is required.
the slope of the tangent at any point on the parabola is
differentiate each term using the power rule
(a
) = na
, then
= 6x + 2
equating this to 10 gives
6x + 2 = 10 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
6x = 8 ( divide both sides by 6 )
x = =
substitute this value into the equation of the parabola for corresponding y- coordinate.
y = 3( )² + 2
= (3 × ) + 2
= +
=
= 8
the point on the parabola with tangent parallel to y = 10x - 2 is ( , 8 )
