The length of a diagonal of a large square garden is 15 yards. What is the approximate length of one side of the square garden?

1 answer:

8 0

By the pythagorean theorem the diagonal length will be:

d^2=x^2+y^2 and since this is a square x=y so

d^2=2x^2 and since d=15

225=2x^2

x^2=112.5

x=√112.5 yds

x≈10.6 yds (to nearest tenth of a yard)

Aleksandr [31]

After three years, your investment would be $575. The formula is A=P(1+(r/n)^(n*t) where A is the final amount, P is the initial balance, r is the interest rate, n is the amount of time the interest is compounded in a year, and t is the amount of time that has passed.
P=500
r= 5% is which converted into a decimal by dividing 5 by 100 which is then 0.05
n= 1 since it is compounded annually
t= 3
Hope this helped.

Determine if the expression 9y5 – 10y3 is a polynomial or not. If it is a polynomial,

Stolb23 [73]

I am going to assume that the equation was supposed to be $9y^{5}$ $-10y^{3}$

Answer:

It is a polynomial. It is a binomial and it has a degree of 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

A polynomial is an expression consisting of variables and coefficients, that involves only the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and non-negative integer exponentiation of variables so $9y^{5}$ $-10y^{3}$ will be considered a polynomial.

A binomial is a polynomial with 2 terms.

The degree of a polynomial is the highest exponent in it which in this equation is 5.
