The area of a plot of land is 2496 square meters. A small part of the land is fenced. The ratio of the area of the plot of land

to the area that is not fenced is 48:31. What is the area of the land that is not fenced?

My late response (haha): First, you would write a proportion.

Step 1: 2496 over 48 = x over 31
(x represents the area of the land that is not fenced).

Step 2: Cross multiply
2496 times 31 and x times 48

Step 3: Calculate
77376 = 48x

Step 4: Divide both sides by 48
77376/48 = 1612
48x/48 = x

Step 5: Write it as a sentence
The area of the land that is not fenced is 1612 squared meters.

Hope that helped! Good luck! :]

Answer:

The answer, also the only answer, is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

A: 20 is 1/2 of 40, so you would arrive at Seneca Falls in half an hour.

B: Same as a, 2 is 1/2 of 4, so you would also arrive to school in half an hour.

C: 60 is double 30, so it would take two hours to get from Albany to New York City.

If an ordered pair is reflected on x-axis, it will result in opposite number of y. If the original y positive, the reflected point of y will be negative.

we can write it as
(x,y) -> reflected to x axis -> (x, -y)

Solution:
(x,-y) = (4.75, -2.25)
(x,y) = (4.75, 2.25)

The original point was (4.75, 2.25)

Find the set of values of k for which the line y=kx-4 intersects the curve y=x²-2x at 2 distinct points?

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

$-6 < k < 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$y = x^2 - 2x$

$y =kx -4$

Required

Possible values of k

The general quadratic equation is:

$ax^2 + bx + c = 0$

Subtract $y = x^2 - 2x$ and $y =kx -4$

$y - y = x^2 - 2x - kx +4$

$0 = x^2 - 2x - kx +4$

Factorize:

$0 = x^2 +x(-2 - k) +4$

Rewrite as:

$x^2 +x(-2 - k) +4=0$

Compare the above equation to: $ax^2 + bx + c = 0$

$a = 1$

$b= -2-k$

$c =4$

For the equation to have two distinct solution, the following must be true:

$b^2 - 4ac > 0$

So, we have:

$(-2-k)^2 -4*1*4>0$

$(-2-k)^2 -16>0$

Expand

$4 +4k+k^2-16>0$

Rewrite as:

$k^2 + 4k - 16 + 4 >0$

$k^2 + 4k - 12 >0$

Expand

$k^2 + 6k-2k - 12 >0$

Factorize

$k(k + 6)-2(k + 6) >0$

Factor out k + 6

$(k -2)(k + 6) >0$

Split:

$k -2 > 0$ or $k + 6> 0$

So:

$k > 2$ or k $> -6$

To make the above inequality true, we set:

$k < 2$ or $k >-6$

So, the set of values of k is:

$-6 < k < 2$
