Answer:

300m\times 400m or200m\times 600m

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Fencing used on three sides=1000 m

Area of field enclosure=120000 square meters

Let x be the length and y be the width of rectangle.

Fencing used on three sides=2x+y

2x+y=1000

y=1000-2x

Area of  field=xy=x(1000-2x)

-2x^2+1000x=120000

-x^2+500x=60000

x^2-500x+60000=0

Using quadratic formula

x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

x=\frac{500\pm\sqrt{(500)^2-4(60000)}}{2}

x=\frac{500\pm 100}{2}

x=\frac{500+100}{2}=300m

x=\frac{500-100}{2}=200 m

y=1000-2(300)=400 m

y=1000-2(200)=600m

Dimension of the field

300m\times 400m or200m\times 600m

Answer:

length = 500 m , width = 250 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the field is L and the width is W.

Area of the field , A = 120000 sq. metre

Length of fencing = 1000 m

Total length of fence = L + 2 W = 1000

L = 1000 - 2 W

Area = Length x width

A = L x W

A = (1000 - 2W) x W

A = 1000 W - 2 W²

for mxima and minima,

dA/dW = 0

1000 - 4W = 0

W = 250 m

L = 1000 - 2 x 250 = 500 m

Thus, the length of the field is 500 m and the width of the field is 250 m.

What is part of the prime factorization
Kitty [74]

Answer:

"Prime Factorization" is finding which prime numbers multiply together to make the original number.

Here are some examples:

Example 1: What are the prime factors of 12 ?

It is best to start working from the smallest prime number, which is 2, so let's check:

12 ÷ 2 = 6

Yes, it divided exactly by 2. We have taken the first step!

But 6 is not a prime number, so we need to go further. Let's try 2 again:

6 ÷ 2 = 3

Yes, that worked also. And 3 is a prime number, so we have the answer:

12 = 2 × 2 × 3

As you can see, every factor is a prime number, so the answer must be right.

Note: 12 = 2 × 2 × 3 can also be written using exponents as 12 = 22 × 3

What is h(x) = 7+ 10x + x2 written in vertex form?
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

h(x) = (x+5)^{2} -18

Step-by-step explanation:

-b/2a is the formula to find the vertex's x coordinate.

-10/2(1) = -5 and "(x+5)" represents a translation to the left 5 units, so that must be the answer
