1. The information given in the problem is:

 - <span>The length of a rectangular garden is 8 feet longer than the width.
 - </span><span>The garden is surrounded by a 4-foot sidewalk.
 - The area of the sidewalk is 320 ft</span>².

 2. So, the length of the rectangular garden is:

 L1=8+W1

 3. The formula for calculate the area of the sidewalk, is:

 A2=L2xW2

 "A2" is the area of the sidewalk (A2=320 ft²).

 "L2" is the length of the sidewalk.

 "W2" is the widht of the sidewalk.

 4. The length of the sidewalk (L2) is:

 L2=L1+4+4    (4 feet on each side)
 L2=L1+8

 5. When you substitute L1=8+W1 into the equation L2=L1+8, you obtain:

 L2=8+W1+8
 L2=W1+16

 6. The widht of the sidewalk is:

 W2=W1+4+4
 W2=W1+8

 7. Now, you must substitute the length and the widht of the sidewalk into the formula A2=L2xW2:

 A2=L2xW2
 A2=(W1+16)(W1+8)
 320=W1²+16W1+8W1+128
 W1²+16W1+8W1+128-320=0
 W1²+16W1+8W1-192=0

 8. When you solve the quadratic equation, you obtain the value of W1:

 W1=16.97 ft

 9. Finally, you must substitute the value of W1 into the formula L1=8+W1:

 L1=8+W1
 L1=8+16.97 
 L1=24.97 ft

 10. Therefore, the dimensions of the garden are:

 L1=24.97 ft
 W1=16.97 ft

G a survey of property owners' opinions about a street-widening project was taken to determine if owners' opinions were related
Naily [24]

Answer:

The expected frequency for people against the project and who have over 120 feet of property foot frontage is 3.9.

Step-by-step explanation:

The data provided is:

                                                   Opinion    

Front Footage   For       Undecided Against    Total

Under 45 feet    12                4              4              20

  45-120 feet           35                5             30      70

Over 120 feet     3                2              5              10

       Total           50                11             39    100

The formula to compute the expected frequency is:

E(X)=\frac{\text{Row Total}\times \text{Column Total}}{\text{TOTAL}}

Compute the expected frequency for people against the project and who have over 120 feet of property foot frontage as follows:

E(X)=\frac{\text{Row Total}\times \text{Column Total}}{\text{TOTAL}}

E(5)=\frac{10\times 39}{100}=\frac{39}{10}=3.9

Thus, the expected frequency for people against the project and who have over 120 feet of property foot frontage is 3.9.

The value of y when x=5
Molodets [167]
D. 35 is the answer. Since we know that 14=2k based on the knowledge given in the first part of the equation, we can solve for K. We learn that K=7. Then, we can substitute K into the second equation: y=(7)(5) which is 35.

(Q2) Determine the eccentricity, the type of conic, and the directrix for r = 9/1+cos theta
g100num [7]

Answer:

The answer is (d) ⇒ eccentricity = 6 , hyperbola , directrix  x = 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ r = ek/(1 ± ecosФ)

∵ r = 9/(1 + 6cosФ)

∴ e = 6 ⇒ eccentricity = 6

∵ e > 1

∴ The conic is hyperbola

∵ ek = 9

∴ k = 9/6 = 3/2

∴ The directrix  x = 3/2

How does a change in the value of h effect the axis of symmetry of the graph ? How does the value of k change the axis of symmet
Ber [7]

The value of h is exactly the axis of symmetry. So when h changes, it completely changes the line of symmetry. This is because the vertex is (h, k) and the x value of the vertex is always equal to the line of symmetry in a quadratic.

Changing the k value does nothing to the line of symmetry. This is because it is just moving the graph up and down, which doesn't change the symmetry of a parabola.
