Given:
pool length : 10 yards
pool width : 8 yards

Area = 10 yds * 8 yds = 80 yd²

(10 + 2x)(8 + 2x) = 120 
10(8 + 2x) + 2x(8+2x) = 120
80 + 20x + 16x + 4x² = 120
4x² + 36x + 80 - 120 = 0
4x² + 36x - 40 = 0
4(x² + 9x - 10) = 0
4(x + 10)(x - 1) = 0

x + 10 = 0
x = -10
x - 1 = 0 
x = 1

the width of the deck is 1 yard

A plant currently measures 5.5 inches tall and will grow at a rate of 1 inch per week. Andrew wants to graph this information fo
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

0, 5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

when they ask for a y-intercept, x is always zero, so now we eliminate two of the answers, and we will only have (0, 1) or (0, 5.5). At the beginning of the question it said a plant is currently at 5.5, so it started as 5.5 (0, 5.5)

so THE ANSWER IS  (0, 5.5)

Select True or False for each statement.
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

1. True

2. False

3. True

4. False

5. True

Step-by-step explanation:

1. For a real number a, a + 0 = a.

This is true, any number plus zero is that number.

2. For a real number a, a + (-a) = 1.

This is false.  Adding a negative number is the same as subtracting that number. So a + (-a) = a - a = 0

3. For a real numbers a and b la-bl = |b-al.

This is true.  Absolute value represents the distance between two numbers.  This number can never be negative, therefore la-bl = |b-al.

4. For real numbers a, b, and c, a +(bº c) = (a + b)(a + c).

False.  a + (b * c) = a + bc.

If you foil (a + b)(a + c) you will see its equal to a²+ab+ac+bc, which is definitely  different than a + (b*c)

5. For rational numbers a and b when b# o, is always a rational number.

True, a rational number is one that can be written as a fraction with two integers.  The quotient of two rational numbers can always be written as a fraction with integers.
