Answer: The letter "x" is often used in algebra to mean a value that is not yet known. It is called a "variable" or sometimes an "unknown". In x + 2 = 7, x is a variable, but we can work out its value if we try!
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
let x,y be the sides of court.
2(x+y)=90
x+y=90/2=45
y=45-x
xy=500
x(45-x)=500
45x-x²=500
x²-45x+500=0
x²-25x-20x+500=0
x(x-25)-20(x-25)=0
(x-25)(x-20)=0
x=25,20
when x=25
y=45-x=45-25=20
when x=20
y=45-20=25
sides are 25 ft,20 ft.
1/4 is
the answer
................................
Well plug 0 in for x and solve for y and that is the vertex of your expression
