c.55 ft by 79 ft
b.31 ft by 55 ft
d.74 ft by 98 ft

Given width is 24 less than length.
W=L-24
Perimeter = 2(W+L)=2(L-24+L)=4L-48 
But we're also given perimeter = 172'
Therefore 4L-48=172
solve for L
4L=172+48=220
L=55'
W=55-24 =  31'
Check: Perimeter = 2(W+L)=2(31+55)=2*86=172'  good!

Answer: The dimensions of the garden are 31' * 55'

Universal Pet house sells vinyl doghouse and treated lumber doghouses. It takes the company 5 hours to build a vinyl doghouses a
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

The system of equations is :

Equation 1- 5x+2y=50

Equation 2- x+2y=30

Number of vinyl doghouse = 5

Number of treated lumber doghouse =12.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of vinyl doghouses

y be the number of treated lumber doghouses

→If it takes the company 5 hours to build a vinyl doghouses and 2 hours to build a treated lumber doghouse. The company dedicates 50 hours every week towards assembling and painting doghouses.

Equation 1- 5x+2y=50

→It takes an additional hour to paint each vinyl doghouse and an additional 2 hours to assemble each treated lumber doghouse. The company dedicates 30 hours every week towards assembling and paining dog houses.

Equation 2- x+2y=30

→When we solve these equation we get the number of  vinyl doghouse and treated lumber doghouse.

Subtract equation 2 from equation 1

5x+2y-x-2y=50-30

4x=20

x=\frac{20}{4}

x=5

Put value of x in equation 2

x+2y=30

5+2y=30

2y=25

y=\frac{25}{2}

y=12.5

Therefore, number of vinyl doghouse = 5, number of treated lumber doghouse =12.5

Answer:

  g(x)=-x^2-8x-22

Step-by-step explanation:

Perform the multiplication and addition:

  g(x)=-(x+4)^2-6=-(x^2+8x+16)-6=-x^2-8x-16-6\\\\g(x)=-x^2-8x-22

_____

<em>Comment on the squaring</em>

There are several ways you can find the square (x+4)².

  1. Use your knowledge that (x+a)² = x²+2ax+a².
  2. Use FOIL* to compute (x+4)(x+4) = x² +4x +4x +4² = x²+8x+16
  3. Use the distributive property: (x+4)(x+4) = x(x+4) +4(x+4) = x² +4x +4x +4² (same as FOIL for two binomials)

__

* FOIL is mnemonic for {First, Outer, Inner, Last} referring to pairs of terms in the factors (x +a)(x +b). The x terms are the First terms. The Outer terms are the first x and b. The Inner terms are "a" and the second x. The Last terms are "a" and "b". You are to form the sum of those pairs of terms to find the product of the binomials.

A special liquid is held in a tank described as (x 2 + y 2 ) ≤ z ≤ 1 in a Cartesian coordinate system. Assume that the density o
vivado [14]

Since \rho=\dfrac mV (density = mass/volume), we can get the mass/weight of the liquid by integrating the density \rho(x,y,z) over the interior of the tank. This is done with the integral

\displaystyle\int_{-1}^1\int_{-\sqrt{1-x^2}}^{\sqrt{1-x^2}}\int_{x^2+y^2}^1(2-z^2)\,\mathrm dz\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm dx

which is more readily computed in cylindrical coordinates as

\displaystyle\int_0^{2\pi}\int_0^1\int_{r^2}^1(2-z^2)r\,\mathrm dz\,\mathrm dr\,\mathrm d\theta=\boxed{\frac{3\pi}4}
