We are asked to solve for the value of "x" such that when it is added in the original area of the park it will double the area. Let us compute first the area of the original dog park (A1) and the solution is shown below:
Area = Lenght*Width = L*W where L=30 yards and W=20 yards
Area = 30*20
Area = 600 yards squared
Solving for the x, when x is added to both sides which double the area:
A1*2 = (L + 2x)*W
600*2 = (30+2x)*20
1200 / 20 = 30+2x
60 = 30 + 2x
60-30 = 2x
30/2 =x
15 = x

The value of x is 15 yards.

Answer:

63-degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

triangle = 180 degrees

HELP ME PLEASE!!!
zaharov [31]

The correct answer to this question would be answer choice B.

To convert the decimal 0.56 to a fraction, first set it to a fraction over 100 which would be 56/100.

Then, because the question asks for the fraction to be in simplest form, look for the greatest common factor of the numerator and denominator or 56 and 100.

To find it, list out all of their factors:

56: 1, 2, 4, 7, 8 , 14, 28, 56

100: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10,20,25,50,100

Notice that out of all the factors listed, the greatest common factor listed is 4. Because of this, divide both the numerator and denominator by 4 to simplify your fraction to your answer: 14/25

Fit a quadratic function to these three points:<br> (-2,8), (0, -4), and (4, 68)<br> Respuesta
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

f(x) = 4x^2 + 2x - 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the quadratic function be y = f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c.

For the point (-2, 8)  ( x = -2 when y = 8) we have:

a(-2)^2 + (-2)b + c = 8

4a - 2b + c = 8      For (0, -4) we have:

0 + 0 + c = -4   so c = -4.    For (4, 68) we have:

16a + 4b + c = 68  

So we have 2 systems of equations in a and b ( plugging in c = -4):

4a - 2b - 4 = 8

16a + 4b - 4 = 68

4a - 2b = 12

16a + 4b = 72    Multiplying 4a - 2b = 12 by 2 we get:

8a - 4b = 24  

Adding the last 2 equations:

24a = 96

a = 4

Now plugging a = 4 and c = -4 in the first equation:

4(4) - 2b - 4 = 8

-2b = 8 - 16 + 4 = -4

b = 2.
