Answer:

The correct answer is option B.  3 ft  by 8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Points to remember</u>

Area of rectangle = length * breadth

Perimeter of rectangle = 2(Length + Breadth)

It is given that, The area of a rectangular flower bed is 24 square feet. The perimeter of the same flower bed is 22 feet

<u>To find the correct option</u>

<u>1). Check option A</u>

Area = 2 * 12 = 24

Perimeter = 2( 2 + 12 ) = 28

False

<u>2) Check option B</u>

Area = 3 * 8 = 24

Perimeter = 2(3  + 8 ) = 22

True

<u>3). Check option C</u>

Area = 3 * 6 = 18

Perimeter = 2( 3 + 6 ) = 18

False

<u>4). Check option D</u>

Area = 4 * 6 = 24

Perimeter = 2( 4 +6 ) = 20

False

The correct answer is option B.  3 ft  by 8 ft

ANSWER

B. 3 ft by 8 ft

EXPLANATION

The area is given as 24 square feet.

This implies that,

l \times w = 24

The perimeter of the rectangular field is given as 22 feet.

This implies that,

2(l + w) = 22

Or

l + w = 11

We make w the subject in this last equation and put it inside the first equation.

w = 11 - l

When we substitute into the first equation we get;

l(11 - l) = 24

11l -  {l}^{2}  = 24

This implies that,

{l}^{2}  - 11l + 24 = 0

(l - 3)(l - 8) = 24

l = 3 \: or \: 8

When l=3, w=24

Therefore the dimension is 3 ft by 8 ft

What is the importance of polynomial functions and how this real life applications improve or contribute to the value of life
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

<u><em>What is the importance of polynomial functions?</em></u>

<u><em> </em></u>Polynomials are an important part of the "language" of mathematics and algebra. They are used in nearly every field of mathematics to express numbers as a result of mathematical operations. Polynomials are also "building blocks" in other types of mathematical expressions, such as rational expressions.

<u><em /></u>

<u><em>How these real-life applications improve or contribute to the value of life?</em></u>

Since polynomials are used to describe curves of various types, people use them in the real world to graph curves. Combinations of polynomial functions are sometimes used in economics to do cost analyses, for example. Engineers use polynomials to graph the curves of roller coasters and bridges.

Write a linear inequality in two variables that has (-1, 3) as a solution but does not have (4,0) as a solution.
Stels [109]

Answer:  y ≤ -x + 2

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

There are an infinite number of possible solutions.

Plot the two points, draw any line between them such that the two points are NOT connected, then choose the inequality symbol that shades (-1, 3).

Here is one solution that satisfies the requirements.   y ≤ -x + 2

Here is another: y < -x + 3

And another: y > x + 3

And one more: y ≥ x + 4

What is the slope intercept form of 10x + 2y =8
antoniya [11.8K]

Slope intercept form is: y = mx + b


Isolate the y. First subtract 10x from both sides


10x (-10x) + 2y = 8 (-10x)


2y = -10x + 8


Isolate the y. Divide 2 from both sides and <em>all</em> terms.


(2y)/2 = (-10x + 8)/2


y = -5x + 4


y = -5x + 4 is your slope intercept form answer.



hope this helps
