Answer:
5.3
Step-by-step explanation:
Use Pyth Theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
6^2 + b^2 = 8^2
36 + b^2 = 64
b^2 = 28
Sq root of 28 = 5.3
The estimation is 533,000 dollars.
Hope I didn't mess up for your sake
Answer:
He should plant 100 acres of corn and 400 acres of wheat.
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem can be solved by a siple system of equations.
]x denotes the number of acres of corn
y denotes the number of acres of wheat
Building the system:
The Johnson Farm has 500 acres of land allotted for cultivating corn and wheat. This means that:

The cost of cultivating corn and wheat (including seeds and labor) is $42 and $30 per acre, respectively. Jacob Johnson has $16,200 available for cultivating these crops. This means that:

So, we have the following system


If he wishes to use all the allotted land and his entire budget for cultivating these two crops, how many acres of each crop should he plant?


I am going to write y as a function of x in 1), and replace in 2). So:
means that 






Now, going back to 1:

He should plant 100 acres of corn and 400 acres of wheat.
Answer: 9. x=-3/2 10. x=2
x= 5/2 x=5/3
Step-by-step explanation:
9. Factor the equation:
How: put 4x^2 in the bottom left box and -15 in the upper right box.
then multiply 4x^2 x -15 = -60x^2 and put your answer in the top center box of the diamond.
Put the -4x from the equation in the bottom box. Then list out factors that multiply to the top box (-60x^2) and add to the bottom box (-4x) The two factors are -10 and 6
-10 x 6 = -60
-10 + 6 = -4
Put -12x and -5x in the remaining white boxes and find what numbers multiply to each.
I attached a picture. The colored dots correspond with each other.
Eg: Orange dot x orange dot = number in white square
Now you get the two factors (2x+3)(2x-5)
Set both of these equal to 0 and solve
0=2x+3 0=2x-5
x= -3/2 x= 5/2
Do the same for the other problem
Answer:
25% Decrease
Step-by-step explanation:
15/20 is 75%. 100-75 (since they read less) is 25%
