L x W = 105

L + W = 26 so L = 26 - W

substitute L = 26 - W into L x W = 105


(26 - W) x W = 105

26W - W^2 = 105

W^2 - 26W + 105 = 0

(W - 21)(W - 5) = 0

W - 21 = 0; W = 21

W - 5 = 0; W = 5


The the dimensions of the rectangle are 5 ft and 21 ft.


Double check:

The sum of the length and the width is 26 feet: 21 + 5 = 26 feet

A rectangle has an area of 105 square feet: 21 x 5 = 105 square feet

Let one dimension be x and the other dimension be y.


The area is 105 ft²

⇒ xy = 105


The length and width adds up to 26 ft

⇒ x + y = 26


System of equations:

xy = 105 --------- (1)

x + y = 26 ----------(2)


From (2):

x + y = 26

x = 26 - y --------- sub into (1)

(26 - y)y = 105

26y - y² = 105

y² - 26y + 105 = 0

(y - 5)(y - 21) = 0

y = 5 or y = 21


Answer: The dimensions of the rectangle is 5 feet by 21 feet

Write an exponential function to model the situation. Find each amount after the specified time. A population of 120,000 grows 1
Savatey [412]
Exponential growth function is given by f(t) = A(1 + k%)^t; where A is the initial value, k is the growth rate and t is the time period.

Therefore, the required function is
f(t) = 120,000(1 + 0.012)^t = 120,000(1.012)^t

After 15 years, the new population is 120,000(1.012)^15 = 120,000 x 1.1959 = 143,512
