Let x = width of the deck.
Therefore total area of pool : 
(10+2x)m*(20+2x)m = 704 m^2
( 200 + 20x + 40x + 4x^2 ) m^2 = 704 m^2
(200 + 60x + 4x^2)   = 704
 4x^2 + 60x = 704-200
 4x^2 + 60x = 504
 4x^2 + 60x - 504 = 0
4(x^2 + 15x - 126) = 0
(x+21) * (x-6) = 0
Therefore x, the deck's width is 6m (it can't be -21 as width is measured as a positive value)

Answer:

The first option.

Because we're solving for the price of each gallon, x will represent the cost of each gallon. Since 8.4 is the total amount of gallons, multiply 8.4 and x to get $23.94. Solve for x by dividing 23.94 to get $2.85 per gallon. To check this, substitute 2.85 for x into the equation: 8.4 (2.85) = 23.94

If dy/dx = x(y-1), find the equation of the tangent line at x=-2 with f(-2)=3
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

The equation of the tangent line passing through the point (-2,3) is

 4 x + y +5 =0

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Step(i):-</em></u>

<em>Given that the slope of the tangent</em>

<em>              </em>m = \frac{dy}{dx} = x(y-1)<em></em>

<em>              m = -2( 3-1) = -4</em>

<em>Given point x = -2</em>

<em>          y = f(-2) =3</em>

<em>∴The given point ( x₁ , y₁) = ( -2 ,3)</em>

<u><em>Step(ii):-</em></u>

The equation of the tangent line passing through the point (-2,3)

y - y_{1} = m(x-x_{1} )

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

y -3 = -4( x+2)

y-3 = -4x -8

4x + y -3+8=0

4x +y +5=0

<u><em>Step(iii):-</em></u>

<em>The equation of the tangent line passing through the point (-2,3) is</em>

<em>   4 x + y +5 =0</em>

<em></em>
