The Davidson family wants to expand its rectangular patio, which currently measures 15 ft by 12 ft. They want to extend the leng

th and width the same amount to increase the total area of the patio by 160 ft2. Which quadratic equation best models the situation?
A = lw

(15)(12) + (x)(x) = (15)(12) + 160
 (15x)(12x) = (15)(12) + 160
2(15 + x) + 2(12 + x) = (15)(12) + 160
(15 + x)(12 + x) = (15)(12) + 160

Answer:

Option 4 - (15+x)(12+x)=(15)(12)+160

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The Davidson family wants to expand its rectangular patio, which currently measures 15 ft by 12 ft. They want to extend the length and width the same amount to increase the total area of the patio by 160 ft sq.

To find : Which quadratic equation best models the situation?  

Solution :

Dimension of rectangular patio is

Length = 15 ft.

Width = 12 ft.

Let x be the expansion of length and width of the rectangular patio.

So, The new length of the rectangular patio is (x+15).

The new width of the rectangular patio is (x+12).

We know, Area of rectangle = Length × Width

According to question,

They want to extend the length and width the same amount to increase the total area of the patio by 160 ft sq.

(12+x)(15+x)=160+15\times 12

180+12x+15x+x^2=160+180

180+27x+x^2=340

x^2+27x-160=0        

Therefore, The required quadratic equation is (12+x)(15+x)=160+15\times 12

Hence, Option 4 is correct.

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the integer be 6 for even and 7 for odd (say)

For 6, we divide by 2, now get 3.  Now we multiply by 3 and add 1 to get 10. Now since 10 is even divide by 5, now multiply by 3 and add 1 to get 16.  Now divide by 2 again by 2 again by 2 again by 2 till we get rid of even numbers.

The result is 1, so multiply by 3 and add 1 we get 4 now divide 2 times by 2 to get 1, thus this result now again repeats after 2 times.

Say if we select off number 3, multiply by 3 and add 1 to get 10 now divide by 5, now repeat the same process as above for 5 until we get 1 and it gets repeated every third time.

Thus whether odd or even after some processes, we get 1 and the process again and again returns to 1.
