Suppose that a family wants to increase the size of the garden which is currently 16 feet long and 8 feet wide without changing

the basic shape of the garden. That is, the family wants to ensure that the length of the garden remains twice the width (see figure).
1. Write an equation for the area of the new garden.
2. Write an equation that calculates how much more area the new garden will have as compared to the current garden. Simplify the equation into a quadratic equation in standard form.
3. Using the equation from Exercise 2, determine what effect increasing the width of the garden by two feet will have on the length of the garden and the total area of the garden.
4. Using the equation from Exercise 2 and factoring, determine how much the width of the garden will need to be increased in order for the garden area to be 160 square feet larger than its original area.
5. Using the equation from Exercise 2 and factoring, determine how much the width of the garden will need to be increased in order for the garden area to be four times its original area.

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Sides of the garden</u>

  • 16 feet and 8 feet

<u>New dimensions of the garden</u>

  • 16 + 2x and 8 + x

<u>1. The area of the new garden</u>

  • (16 + 2x)(8 + x) =
  • 2x^2 + 32x + 128

<u>2. The difference in area </u>

  • 2x^2 + 32x + 128 - 16*8 =
  • 2x^2 + 32x

<u>3. x= 2 effect on the area</u>

  • 2*2^2 + 32*2 =
  • 8 + 64 =
  • 72 ft²

<u>4. Area difference = 160</u>

  • 2x^2 + 32x = 160
  • x^2 + 16x - 80 = 0
  • Solving we get positive root of 4 ft

<u>5. Area difference = 4 times</u>

  • 2x^2 + 32x = 128*3
  • 2x^2 + 32x - 384 = 0
  • x^2 + 16x - 192= 0
  • Solving we get positive root of 8 ft

On a certain hot​ summer's day, 581 people used the public swimming pool. The daily prices are $1.50 for children and $2.50 for
Tanya [424]

Answer:

A = 219

C = 362

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

581 = C + A

and

$1090.50 = 1.5C + 2.5A

solve 1st for A

A =581 - C

substute into 2nd

1090.50 = 1.5C + 2.5(581 - C)

solve for C

1090.50 = 1.5C + 1452.50 - 2.5C

1090.50 = -C + 1452.50

1090.50 - 1452.50 = -C

-362 = -C

C = 362

then

581 = C + A

581 = 362 + A

219 = A

A = 219

For what real value of $v$ is $\frac{-21-\sqrt{301}}{10}$ a root of $5x^2+21x+v$?
Degger [83]

Answer:

v = 7

is the value for which

x = (-21 - √301)/10

is a solution to the quadratic equation

5x² + 21x + v = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

x = (-21 - √301)/10 .....................(1)

is a root of the quadratic equation

5x² + 21x + v = 0 ........................(2)

We want to find the value of v foe which the equation is true.

Consider the quadratic formula

x = [-b ± √(b² - 4av)]/2a ..................(3)

Comparing (3) with (2), notice that

b = 21

2a = 10

=> a = 10/2 = 5

and

b² - 4av = 301

=> 21² - 4(5)v = 301

-20v = 301 - 441

-20v = -140

v = -140/(-20)

v = 7

That is a = 5, b = 21, and v = 7

The equation is then

5x² + 21x + 7 = 0

Help please this increases my average mark
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

He drove 111 miles

If we were given the distance Lan drove last weekend instead off how much gas he used then we would have to find the amount of gas used by lan.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ian's car can go 185 miles on 5 gallons of gas

On 5 gallons of gas lan's car can go 185 miles

Therefore in gallon of gas lan 's car can go

185/5 = 37

So, for 3 gallons of gas lan's car can go

3 × 37 = 111

for 3 gallons of gas lan's car can go 111 miles

If we were given the distance Lan drove last weekend instead off how much gas he used then we would have to find the amount of gas used by lan.

It is a linear function because the rate of change is constant: for each increase of 1 unit in x, there is a decrease of 4 units in y: ⇒ slope = - 4

Remember to include the two points of intersection in your table. Analyze the two functions; they are there (0,36) and (4, 20)


Answer the following reflection questions in complete sentences. What is the domain and range of the rainbow? 
Explain what the domain and range represent. Do all of the values make sense in this situation? Why or why not? What are the x- and y-intercepts of the rainbow? Explain what each intercept represents.


The domain is all the real values of x between - 6 and 6: - 6 ≤ x ≤ 6


The range is all the values between 0 and 36: 0 ≤ y ≤ 36

The domain represents the horizontal distance between the extremes of the rainbow at the ground.

The range represents: the altitude of the rainbow from the ground (y = 0). The height is at x = 0, y = 36.

The x-intercepts are - 6 and 6, that is the opening of the rainbow at the ground level.


The y-intercept is when x = 0, it is y = 36, and is the height of the rainbow.

Is the linear function you created positive or negative? Explain. What are the solutions or solution to the system of equations created? Explain what it or they represent.

The linear function is positive and decreasing. It is positive because it goes above the x-axis, this is y ≥ 0.

The solutions where already signaled: (0,6) and (4, 20). They are the points at which the drone intercepts the rainbow.
