Lwh=v
2*w*(w+2)=48
2w^2+4w=48
w^2+2w-24=0
(w+6)(w-4)=0
w= - 6 or w= 4
Since w cannot be negative, then w=4.

The answer to this word problem usinf discriminant
solniwko [45]
\bf h=-9.8t^2+45t+1.2\implies 64.5=-9.8t^2+45t+1.2
\\\\\\
0=-9.8t^2+45t-63.3\\\\
-------------------------------

\bf \qquad \qquad \qquad \textit{discriminant of a quadratic}
\\\\\\
0=\stackrel{\stackrel{a}{\downarrow }}{-9.8}t^2\stackrel{\stackrel{b}{\downarrow }}{+45}t\stackrel{\stackrel{c}{\downarrow }}{-63.3}
~~~~~~
\stackrel{discriminant}{b^2-4ac}=
\begin{cases}
0&\textit{one solution}\\
positive&\textit{two solutions}\\
negative&\textit{no solution}
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
(45)^2-4(-9.8)(-63.3)\implies -456.36

the discriminant is a negative value, thus no solution for such quadratic, meaning if we use h=64.5 like we did, there's no "t" seconds at which point the ball hits the batting cage.

What is the answer to this equation 2/3x +7= 5
nadezda [96]

Answer:

x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{2}{3} x + 7 = 5\\\frac{2}{3} x = 5 - 7\\\frac{2}{3} x = -2\\x = -2 / \frac{2}{3}\\x = -2 * \frac{3}{2}\\x = -6/2\\x = -3

A school is building a rectangular soccer field that has an area of 6000 square yards. The soccer field must be 40 yards longer
kogti [31]

Area is 6000 yd2

LW = 6000

field must be 40 yards longer than its width

L = W + 40

Replace L with W+40 in 1st equation to solve for Width

(W+40)(W) = 6000

W2 + 40W - 6000 = 0

This is a quadratic but is factorable

Factors of -6000 that add to 40 are (100)(-60)

(W+100)(W-60) = 0

W = -100   or   W = 60

Since the width will not be negative discard -100

The width is 60 yards

Length is W+40 = 100 yards
