W= width= L+5
L= length
Area= 204

Area= LW
204 square yards= LW
substitute w=L+5 for w
204= (L)(L+5)
204= L^2 + 5L
subtract 204 from both sides
0= L^2 + 5L - 204
factor
0= (L+17)(L-12)

0= L+17
-17= L

0= L-12
12 yards= L


WIDTH
Since the area cannot be a negative number, we'll use L=12 to find the width.

w=L+5
w=12+5
w=17 yards


CHECK:
204=(12)(17)
204=204


ANSWER: The length is 12 yards and the width is 17 yards.

Hope this helps! :)

babunello [35]

Answer:

C. 342

Step-by-step explanation:

This year, 150% of last year's tickets were sold.

Last year, 228 tickets were sold.

150% as a fraction is 150/100

To find the amount of tickets sold this year, we take the 150/100 and multiply it by 228:

150/100*228= 342 tickets

Hat is the equation of the quadratic function with a vertex at (2,–25) and an x-intercept at (7,0)?
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

y = x² - 4x - 21

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

Here (h, k) = (2, - 25), thus

y = a(x - 2)² - 25

To find a substitute (7, 0) into the equation

0 = a(7 - 2)² - 25 = a(5)² - 25 = 25a - 25 ( add 25 from both sides )

25a = 25 ( divide both sides by 25

a = 1, thus

y = (x - 2)² - 25 ← in vertex form

Expand and simplify

y = x² - 4x + 4 - 25

y = x² - 4x - 21 ← in standard form

Quantity of Jackets Price (in whole dollars) Total Revenue Marginal Revenue Total Cost Marginal Cost Profit (or loss) 0 20 1 20
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

18 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Marginal cost can be defined as the additional cost to produce every additional unit of a certain good. In mathematical terms;

Marginal cost = change in cost / change in quantity

For seven jackets, we have to find the difference between the cost of seven jackets and the cost of six jackets as follows

$101 - $83 = $18

Since the change in quantity is one, our marginal cost comes to $18.
