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)

An orange has about 1/4 cup of juice. How many oranges are needed to make 2 1/2 cups of juice? Select all equations that represe

san4es73 [151]

A and D are correct. To understand this, you need to know that this scenario gives us a total (2 1/2 cups) and a part (1/4). When you have these 2 pieces of information you have either a division problem with a total divided into parts (choice D) or you have one part and a totol shown as a multiplication problem (choice A).

The area of triangle formed by points of intersection of parabola y=a(x−1)(x−4) with the coordinate axes is 3. Find a if it is k

n200080 [17]

Answer:

The value of a will be $a=-\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by graphing the parabola and the three points of the triangle. These points are at intersections of y=a(x-1)(x-4) and the axes

so the y = 0 points are (1,0) and (4,0).

The x = 0 intersection is when y=a(-1)(-4) or (0,4a)

The base and height of this triangle are

The base would be the distance between the y=0 intersections and the height would be the y value of the other vertex.

Hence, base=3 units and height = 4a units. Thus, area can be calculated as

$A = \frac{1}{2}\times b\times h =\frac{1}{2}\times 3\times 4a = 3$

$a=\frac{1}{2}$

∵ the parabola opens downward therefore a will be negative.

hence, $a=-\frac{1}{2}$

which function has only one x-intercept at (−6, 0)? f(x) = x(x − 6) f(x) = (x − 6)(x − 6) f(x) = (x 6)(x − 6) f(x) = (x 6)(x 6)

3241004551 [841]

<span>We have the function: f ( x ) = ( x + 6 ) ( x + 6 ) = ( x + 6 )^2. This is the square of the binomial. It has only one zero ( only one x- intercept ). When f ( x ) = 0, ( x + 6 )^2 = 0. x + 6 = 0; x = - 6. Therefore point ( - 6 , 0 ) is the only x - intercept. Answer: D ) f ( x ) = ( x + 6 ) ( x + 6 ).</span>
