Lisa wants to build a table and put a border around it. The table and border must have an area of 3,996 square inches. The table

is 42 inches wide and 36 inches long without the border. Which quadratic equation can be used to determine the thickness of the border, x?
A) 4x^2 + 156x - 2,484 = 0
B) 4x^2 + 156x - 3,024 = 0
C) 2x^2 + 156x - 3,996 = 0

Option A

The quadratic equation can be used to determine the thickness of the border, x is 4 x^{2}+156 x-2484=0

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, Lisa wants to build a table and put a border around it.  

The table and border must have an area of 3,996 square inches.  

The table is 42 inches wide and 36 inches long without the border.  

To find the quadratic equation used to determine the thickness of the border:

So, area of table and border = 3996

Area = (length + 2x)(width + 2x)

Here “2x” represents the border around table

\begin{array}{l}{\rightarrow(36+2 x)(42+2 x)=3996} \\\\ {\rightarrow 42 \times 36+84 x+4 x^{2}+72 x=3996} \\\\ {\rightarrow 4 x^{2}+156 x=3996-42 \times 36} \\\\ {\rightarrow 4 x^{2}+156 x=3996-1512} \\\\ {\rightarrow 4 x^{2}+156 x=2484} \\\\{\rightarrow 4 x^{2}+156 x-2484=0}\end{array}

Hence, the equation is 4 x^{2}+156 x-2484=0 so option A is correct

How to do question 27
GenaCL600 [577]
1/(sin(90 + θ)cos(360 - θ))     -   tan²(-θ)

Note:

 sin(90 + θ) = cosθ        Cosine and Sine are complementary.

cos(360 - θ) = cosθ      Cosine positive in 4th quadrant.

tan(-θ) = -tanθ          Negative angle concept.


1/(sin(90 + θ)cos(360 - θ))     -   tan²(-θ) =  1/(cosθcosθ)     -   (-tanθ)²

                                                                 =  1/(cos²θ)     -       tan²θ

                                                                  =  (1/cosθ)²     -       tan²θ
Note: 1/cosθ = secθ

                                                                 =  (secθ)²     -       tan²θ

                                                                  =  sec²θ     -       tan²θ

                                                                  =  1


Note that    1+ tan²θ = sec²θ is a Trigonometric identity.

That means:  sec²θ     -       tan²θ = 1

Hope this explains it.

Answer for when sam goes to a restaurant, he always tips the server $2 plus 10% of the cost of the meal. if sam's distribution o
STatiana [176]
Given that S<span>am's distribution of meal costs has a mean of $9 and a standard deviation of $3, this means that the range of Sam's meal cost that are within one standard deviation is given by ($9 - 3, $9 + 3) = ($6, $12).

Given that Sam </span><span>always tips the server $2 plus 10% of the cost of the meal, this means that when the cost of the meal is $9, Sam tips $2 + (0.1 x 9) = $2 + $0.9 = $2.90

Therefore, the mean of the distribution of Sam's tips is $2.90

Similarly, the </span><span>range of Sam's tips that are within one standard deviation is given by ($2 + 0.1(6), $2 + 0.1(12)) = ($2 + 0.6, $2 + 1.2) = ($2.6, 3.2) = ($2.9 - $0.3, $2.9 + $0.3)

Therefore, </span><span>the standard deviation of the distribution of Sam's tips is $0.3</span>
