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.

Part 1: The equation of the line is y=2x+1

Part 2: The equation of the line in slope intercept form is y=-3x-1

Explanation:

Part 1: It is given that the point A is (1,3) and the line B is y=2 x-2

To determine the line passing through the point A and parallel to line B, let us first determine the slope and y-intercept.

From the equation of line B, the slope is m=2

Substituting the point (1,3) and m=2 in slope intercept form y=mx+b, we have,

3=2(1)+b

3=2+b

1=b

Thus, the y-intercept is b=1

Let us substitute the values m=2 and b=1 in the slope intercept form y=mx+b, we get,

y=2x+1

Thus, the equation of the line passing though point A and parallel to line B is y=2x+1

Part 2: The given two coordinates are (-1,2) and (1,-4)

To determine the equation of line in slope intercept form, first we shall find the slope and y-intercept.

From the graph, we can see that the line touches the y-axis at -1.

Hence, the y-intercept is b=-1

The formula for slope is m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

Substituting the coordinates (-1,2) and (1,-4), we have,

m=\frac{-4-2}{1+1} =\frac{-6}{2} =-3

Thus, the slope is m=-3

Substituting the values b=-1 and m=-3 in the slope intercept formula y=mx+b, we get,

y=-3x-1

Thus, the equation of the line in slope intercept form is y=-3x-1

If Y varies directly with X solve the following :
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

a) x = -270

b) y = 304/9 or y = 33.78

c) x = -37.8

Step-by-step explanation:

y varies directly with x so y = kx

a)

y = kx

k = y/x

k = 10/-30 = -1/3

So

y = -1/3 x

If y = 90 then

90 = -1/3 x

x = 90 *(-3) = -270

b)

k = y/x

k = -19/-4.5

k = 38/9

So

y = 38/9 x

If x = - 8 then

y = 38/9 *(-8)

y = 304/9 or y = 33.78

c)

k = y/x

k = -4.3 / 12.9

k = - 1/3

So

y = -1/3 x

If y = 12.6 then

12.6 = -1/3 x

x = 12.6 *(-3)

x = -37.8

Find the value of x from the given figure:​
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

60°

Step-by-step explanation:

2x and x are linear pair,

=> 2x + x = 180

=> 3x  = 180

=> x = 180/3

=> x = 60°

=>2x =120°

Can anyone help me with this Midterm Advanced Algebra problem. (DONT ANSWER IF YOUR NOT SURE)
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

y = -1/2x + 13/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line that is perpendicular to a line will be a negative reciprocal. When you rewrite 2x-7=8 into slope-intercept form, you get y=2x-8. The negative reciprocal of the slope 2x is -1/2x. There is only one option with this slope. If you're still not sure then you can use a graphing calculator to check this. An online one would be desmos
