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.

Coefficiants of (2x+y)^4​
sattari [20]

By the binomial theorem,

(2x+y)^4=\displaystyle\sum_{k=0}^4\binom 4k(2x)^{4-k}y^k=\sum_{k=0}^4\binom 4k2^{4-k}x^{4-k}y^k

where

\dbinom nk=\dfrac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}

Then the coefficients of the x^{4-k}y^k terms in the expansion are, in order from k=0 to k=4,

\dbinom 402^{4-0}=1\cdot2^4=16

\dbinom412^{4-1}=4\cdot2^3=32

\dbinom422^{4-2}=6\cdot2^2=24

\dbinom432^{4-3}=4\cdot2^1=8

\dbinom442^{4-4}=1\cdot2^0=1

What are equivalent expression for 6x+1-(3x-1)
beks73 [17]

Answer:

3x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

6x + 1 - (3x-1) < distribute the negative sign into the expression

6x + 1 -3x + 1 < combine like terms

6x - 3x = 3x

1 + 1 = 2

our simplified expression is:

3x + 2
