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

How much money will you have at the end of one year if interest is compounded semiannually at 10% on a $600 deposit?
Masja [62]
The formula required to answer this is:
A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}
where  A is the amount of the principal P after n compounding periods per year at r interest rate (as a decimal fraction).
Plugging in the given values, we get:
A=600(1+\frac{0.1}{2})^{2\times1}=661.5
Rounding to the nearest dollar, we get $662.00. Therefore a is the best answer choice.

what is the quotient (65y3 15y2 − 25y) ÷ 5y? a. 13y2 3y − 5 b. 13y3 3y2 − 5y c. 13y2 − 3y 5 d.13y2 − 3y − 5
Aneli [31]

Keywords:

<em>Division, quotient, polynomial, monomial </em>

For this case we must solve a division between a polynomial and a monomial and indicate which is the quotient.

By definition, if we have a division of the form: \frac {a} {b} = c, the quotient is given by "c".

We have the following polynomial:

65y ^ 3 + 15y ^ 2 - 25y that must be divided between monomy5y, then:

C (y) represents the quotient of the division:

C (y) = \frac {65y ^ 3 + 15y ^ 2 - 25y} {5y}

C (y) = \frac {65y ^ 3} {5y} + \frac {15y ^ 2} {5y} - \frac {25y} {5y}

C (y) = 13y ^ 2 + 3y-5

Thus, the quotient of the division between the polynomial and the monomial is given by:

C (y) = 13y ^ 2 + 3y-5

Answer:

The quotient is: C (y) = 13y ^ 2 + 3y-5

Option: A

The two rectangular prisms are similar.
Sophie [7]

Answer:

The volume of the larger rectangular prism is 648\ cm^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its volumes is equal to the scale factor elevated to the cube

Let

z-----> the scale factor

x-----> the volume of the larger rectangular prism

y-----> the volume of the smaller rectangular prism

z^{3}=\frac{x}{y}

In this problem we have

z=\frac{12}{4}=3 ---> the scale factor is equal to the ratio of its corresponding sides

y=24\ cm^{3}

substitute and solve for x

3^{3}=\frac{x}{24}

x=27*24=648\ cm^{3}
