Lets say w is the width of the flower bed. We can make an equation to find the area.
The length of the of the flower bed is (w+5) and the width is w.
To find the area we need to multiply the length(w+5) by the width(w) and set it equal to 84,
(w+5)(w)=84
w^2 +5w=84
Using the quadratic equation you get the solutions of 7 and -12. Since 7 is positive it is our width. Our length is 7+5 or 12.
Answer:
a. Yes. The difference is common and equal to $1750
b. $1750
c. $20000 was initial investment
d. This is linear equation with start point of 20000 and slope of 1750:
e. After another 10 years (on the top of 5 given) the investment will be:
- y = 1750*15 + 20000 = $46250
f. After 20 years the value of investment will be:
- y = 1750*20 + 20000 = $55000
150% as a mixed number is 1.5 which = 1 1/2
Y= -2x²-3x+2, (form y = ax² +b .x + c
The parabola opens downward & hence it's Vertex is a MAXIMUM.
We know that the axis of symmetry is -b/2a ==>3/(-4) ==>
x= - 3/4 (axis of symmetry. At x=-3/4 , y = 25/8 = 3.125
Hence the axis of symmetry is x= - 3/4 & the vertex is at (-3/4, 25/8)
