Answer:

a) The greatest possible length is 35.

b) l = w + 20

Step-by-step explanation:

The farmer wants the length of the pen to be 20ft longer than the width. If we use w to represent the width. Then the length would be w + 20

The problem first ask us to find the greatest possible length considering the fencing will be no more than 100ft.

We know that the perimeter of a rectangular area is: 2l + 2w (where l is the length and w the width)

Therefore for the fencing we would need 2l + 2w ≤ 100.

We are going to substitute the values for l and w that we mentioned at the beginning and solve for w:

2l + 2w ≤ 100

2(w+20) +2w ≤ 100

2w + 40 +2w ≤ 100

4w ≤ 100 - 40

4w ≤60

w ≤ 15

Therefore the width has to be less or equal to 15.

Since the length is 20 ft longer than the width, the greatest possible length happens when the width has its greatest value.

So when w = 15, the length is 35 and this is the greatest possible length of it.

b) The expression that represents the length (as we said before) is w + 20

2l+2w=100
2(w+20)+2w=100
2w+40+2w=100
4w+40=100
4w=60
w=15
l=w+20
l=15+20
Greatest length is 35ft.

\sqrt{-4} can also be written as 2i 
where i = √-1

\frac{2i}{4-2-3i} =  \frac{2i}{2-3i}

Rationalizing denominator,

\frac{2i(2+3i)}{(2-3i)(2+3i)} =  \frac{4i-6}{4+9} =  \frac{4i-6}{13}

The distance between the points (12,9) and (0,4) is A) 14 units B) 13 units C) 15 units D) 16 units
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

Option B  13 units is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula used to find distance between 2 points is:

d(P1,P2)=\sqrt{(x_{2} -x_{1})^2 + (y_{2} -y_{1})^2 }

x₁ = 12 x₂ = 0 y₁= 9 and y₂=4

Putting values in the formula:

=\sqrt{(0-12)^2+(4-9)^2}\\=\sqrt{(-12)^2+(-5)^2}\\=\sqrt{144+25} \\=\sqrt{169} \\=13

So, Option B 13 units is correct.

The answer is "The discriminant is positive"

Step-by-step explanation:

When the discriminant is positive there is two real solutions.

When the discriminant is equal to 0, there is one real solution.

When the discriminant is negative, there is no real number solutions.
