Answer:

Both answers will give an area of 2400 ft2

but with x=60 we have lawn dimensions -60 ft by -40 ft so this is out

 

x = 10 ft width for the sidewalk

 

Check:  New lawn dimensions

(80-2x)(60-2x) = 60(40) = 2400 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a diagram:

We have a rectangle inside a rectangle.

 

The larger outside rectangle is the original lawn:  80ft by 60 ft with area 4800 ft2

 

The smaller inside rectangle is (80-2x)by(60-2x) where x is width of the new sidewalk.

 

Area of new lawn is 2400 ft^2

 

(80-2x)(60-2x) = 2400

4800 - 160x - 120x + 4x2 = 2400

4x2 - 280x + 2400 = 0

Factor out a 4

x2 - 70x + 600 = 0

(x-60)(x-10) = 0

 

x = 60 ft or x = 10 ft

Use slope-intercept form to write the equation of a line
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

y=-3x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

There is enough information to make a point-slope form equation that which we can convert into slope-intercept form.

Point-slope form is: y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

We are given the slope of -3 and the point of (1,-5).

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\rightarrow y+5=-3(x-1)

Convert into Slope-Intercept Form:

y+5=-3(x-1)\\y+5-5=-3(x-1)-5\\\boxed{y=-3x-2}

Solve -7x^2+x+9=-6x quadratic formula
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

-7x^2+x+9=-6x

-7x^2+x+9+6x=-6x+6x

-7x^2+7x+9=0

quadratic\: formula

x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-7\pm \sqrt{7^2-4\left(-7\right)\cdot \:9}}{2\left(-7\right)}

\sqrt{-7^{2} -4(-7)\times9} =\sqrt{301}

x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-7\pm \sqrt{301}}{2\left(-7\right)}

\frac{-7+\sqrt{301}}{2\left(-7\right)}

=\frac{-7+\sqrt{301}}{-2\cdot \:7}

=\frac{-7+\sqrt{301}}{-14}

\frac{-7-\sqrt{301}}{2\left(-7\right)}

=\frac{-7-\sqrt{301}}{-2\cdot \:7}

=\frac{-7-\sqrt{301}}{-14}

answer=\frac{7+\sqrt{301}}{14}

Write the exponential function that passes through the points (3, 10) and (5, 40)
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

  y = (5/4)2^x

Step-by-step explanation:

The function value increases by a factor of 40/10 = 4 when x increases by 2. The function can be written as ...

  y = (reference value)·(growth factor)^((x -reference)/(change in x for growth factor))

  y = 10·4^((x-3)/2) . . . . . . using point (3, 10) as a reference

This can be simplified to ...

  y = 10·2^(x -3) = 10/8·2^x

  y = (5/4)2^x
