Answer:

9 tons

Step-by-step explanation:

So first we have to figure out the area of the smaller wall. We know it is 10 feet high and 20 feet long, so we multiply the length and width together to get 200 square feet, and that equals 1 ton. Now if we take the 1800 square foot wall and divide it by the smaller wall, we get 9. This is because the larger wall is 9 times the size of the smaller wall. So if the smaller wall needs 1 ton, and the larger would need 9 times the amount, we would need 9 tons.

Answer:

9 tons = 1800ft^2  (Area wall)

Step-by-step explanation:

1800 is 9 x larger than a smaller 10 x 20 = 200ft^2 Area

So we know this is 9 tons.

Find area of the isosceles triangle formed by the vertex and the x-intercepts of parabola y=x2+4x−12.
xz_007 [3.2K]

The area of the isosceles triangle is 64 sq units.

<u>Solution:</u>

Part 1: x-intercepts

The x-intercepts occur at the points on the function where y=0

So, we need to solve

x^2-4x-12=0

The left side factors fairly easily into:

(x-6)(x+2)=0

So solution occur when

x-6=0\rightarrow x=6

and

x+2=0\rightarrow x=(-2)

So the x-intercepts are at (0,6) and (0,−2)

Part 2: vertex of the parabola

The vertex of a simple quadratic parabola occurs when the derivative of the quadratic is equal to 0.

The derivative of the given quadratic is

\frac{dy}{dx}=2x-4

By observation, this is equal to 0 when x=2

When x=2 the original equation becomes

y=(2)^2-4(2)-12

y=-16

Therefore the vertex of this parabola is at (2,−16)

The endpoints of the base of the isosceles triangle are (-6, 0) and (2, 0)

\Rightarrow so its base is 8

The height of the triangle reaches from the midpoint of the base (-2, 0) and the vertex (2, -16)

\Rightarrow so its height is 16

The area is  \frac{1}{2}\times \text { base }\times \text { height }=\frac{1}{2}\times8\times16=64 \text{ sq units }

What is the end behavior of a sixth degree polynomial function whose leading coefficient is
bija089 [108]

Answer:

  both ends tend toward negative infinity

Step-by-step explanation:

The ends of an even-degree polynomial go in the same direction. The sign of that direction matches the sign of the leading coefficient.

Here, the leading coefficient is negative, so ...

  y → -∞   when   x → ±∞
