Given ratio of the width of Francois's wife's vegetable garden to its length is 5:8.

Let l1,w1 be the length and width of Francois's wife's vegetable garden.

Then \frac{w1}{l1}  = \frac{5}{8}

Given ratio of the width of the herb garden to its length is 3:5.

Let l2,w2 be the length and width of herb garden.

That is \frac{w2}{l2} = \frac{3}{5}

Given that length of the herb garden is same as the width of the vegetable garden.

That is l2=w1 let this common value be x.

So, first ratio is \frac{x}{l1}=\frac{5}{8}

l1 = \frac{8x}{5}

Second ratio is \frac{w2}{x} = \frac{3}{5}

w2 = \frac{3x}{5}

perimeter of vegetable garden = 2(l1+w1) = 2(\frac{8x}{5} +x) = 2*\frac{13x}{5}  = \frac{26x}{5}

Perimeter of herb garden = 2(l2+w2) = 2(x+\frac{3x}{5} ) = 2*\frac{8x}{5} =\frac{16x}{5}

Given that francois has 252ft of fencing material.

That is perimeter of vegetable garden + perimeter of herb garden = 252

                                    \frac{26x}{5} +\frac{16x}{5}  = 252

                                               \frac{42x}{5} =252

                                                  x = \frac{252*5}{42} = 30 feet

So, l1 = \frac{8x}{5} = \frac{8*30}{5} = 48 feet

And w2 = \frac{3x}{5} = \frac{3*30}{5} = 18 feet

So dimensions of vegetable garden are 48ft, 30ft.

And dimensions of herb garden are 30ft,18ft.

13. Find the vertex of f(x)=x2 -6x +8 .
Mekhanik [1.2K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  a  (3,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The number that "completes the square" is the square of half the x-coefficient, (-6/2)^2 = 9. Rearranging the given function to include the square trinomial, we have ...

  f(x) = x^2 -6x +9 -1 . . . . . . . here, we have 8 = 9 - 1

  f(x) = (x -3)^2 -1 . . . . . . . . . . vertex form

Comparing this to the generic vertex form ...

  f(x) = (x -h)^2 +k . . . . . . . vertex at (h, k)

we see that h=3 and k=-1.

The vertex is (h, k) = (3, -1).

Which of the following shows the correct match of the box numbers and the genotype of the offspring?
fredd [130]
Technically a biology question but if you create the chart all 4 types will be Tt because the Male has the genotype of TT so they will each have a large T in each box (like making a multiplication table). and the female has tt so the only possibility is a large T with a small t in all four squares because there are both homogenous genotypes.  (the bottom-most answer is the correct answer)

Alex is 22 years older than Lana. Four years ago Lana’s age was one-half of Alex’s current age. How old was Alex four years ago?
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

33

Step-by-step explanation

22 divided by 2 is 11

it says four years ago so add 11 and 4 and that equals 15

she is 15 right now. then add 22 which is 37 and subtract 4 which your answer would be 33
