A flower garden has been designed with an L-shaped walkway and viewing area around two sides as shown.
1 answer:
Answer:
c. 2.4 yards
Step-by-step explanation:
If x is the width of the walkway, then the total landscape area is ...
(4.5 +x)(7.5 +x) = 68.31
This quadratic equation can be rearranged to standard form and solved in any of the usual ways.
(x +4.5)(x +7.5) -68.31 = 0
x² +12x -34.56 = 0
Using the quadratic formula, we have ...
x = (-12 ±√(12² -4(1)(-34.56)))/2 = -6 ± √70.56 = -6 ± 8.4
The positive solution is x = 2.4.
The width of the walkway is 2.4 yards.

Given : As part of a promotion for a new type of cracker, free trial samples are offered to shoppers in a local supermarket.
The probability that a shopper will buy a packet of crackers after tasting the free sample : p=0.20.
Different shoppers can be regarded as independent trials.
if X is the number among the next 100 shoppers who buy a packet of crackers after tasting a free sample.
Then, Mean and standard deviation for x will be :
i.e. X has approximately an N(20, 4) distribution.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the inverse, you replace the x with y, and y with x.
[add 5 on both sides]
[divide both sides by 11]
