Answer:
- x = 4
- length = 19 ft
- width = 11 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The area is given by the product of length and width.
A = LW
209 = (4x +3)(4x -5)
209 = 16x^2 -8x -15
224 = 16x^2 -8x
You could rearrange and use the quadratic formula at this point, but we elect to "complete the square".
14 = x^2 -(1/2)x
14 +1/16 = x^2 -1/2x +(1/4)^2 . . . . . add the square of half the x-coefficient
(x -0.25)^2 = 14.0625
x = 0.25 ± 3.75 . . . . . . take the square root; add 0.25
Only positive values of x are useful here, so we have
x = 4
Then the dimensions are ...
length = 4x +3 = 4(4) +3 = 19 . . . feet
width = 4x -5 = 16 -5 = 11 . . . feet
Since we want to find the value of <em>k</em><em> </em>where the limit exists, set both equations equal to each other. Then substitute <em>x</em> = -1 in for each equation to find <em>k</em><em>.</em>
<em>
</em>
1. Set both equations equal.
2. Substitute <em>x</em><em> </em>= -1.
3. Solve for <em>k</em><em> </em>by adding <em>k</em><em> </em>to both sides. Continue the process of solving the equation.
Thus, <em>k</em><em> </em>= -2. Check by graphing the function.
So all the angles on one side should equal 180.
50+55= 105
180-105=75
12x+3=75
12x=72
12*6=72
x=6

Answer:
The percentage of the markup is 82%
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we are asked to calculate the percentage of mark up. This is simply calculating the percentage of the profit margin.
firstly to be able to calculate this percentage, we need to know the value of the profit margin itself.
mathematically, the profit margin is selling price - cost price
From the question, the selling price is $1 while the cost price is 55 cents
The profit margin is thus $1 - 55 cents = 45 cents
We now proceed to calculate the percentage profit
mathematically, that is profit/cost price * 100%
That would be 45 cents/55 cents * 100 = 9/11 * 100% = 81.8 approximately 82%
