Riley has a farm on a rectangular piece of land that is 200200200 meters wide. This area is divided into two parts: A square are

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

The inequality that models the situation for her to have money to save is

7L² > 3(200L - L²)

On simplifying and solving,

L > 60 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of her farm = L meters

The farm where she grows avocados is of square dimension

Area of the farm = L × L = L²

The piece of land is 200 m wide.

Total area of the piece of land = 200 × L = (200L) m²

If the area of her farm = L²

Area of the side where she lives will be

(Total area of the land) - (Area of the farm)

= (200L - L²)

= L(200 - L)

Every week, Riley spends $3 per square meter on the area where she lives, and earns $7 per square meter from the area where she grows avocados.

Total amount she earns from the side she grows the avocados = 7 × L² = 7L²

Total amount she spends on the side where she lives = 3 × (200L - L²) = 3(200L - L²)

For her to save money, the amount she earns must be greater than the amount she spends, hence the inequality had to be

(Amount she earns) > (Amount she spends)

7L² > 3(200L - L²)

To simplify,

7L² > 3L(200 - L)

Since L is always positive, we can divide both sides by L

7L > 3(200 - L)

7L > 600 - 3L

10L > 600

L > 60 meters

Write an equation for the perpendicular line to the line whose equation is 4y-5x=20 that contains the point (-2,-3)

yuradex [85]

Answer:

4x + 5y = - 23

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in slope-intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

rearrange 4y - 5x = 20 into this form

add 5x to both sides

4y = 5x + 20 ( divide all terms by 4 )

y = $\frac{5}{4}$ x + 5 ← in slope-intercept form

with slope m = $\frac{5}{4}$

given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

$m_{perpendicular}$ = - $\frac{1}{m}$ , hence

$m_{perpendicular}$ = - 1 / $\frac{5}{4}$ = - $\frac{4}{5}$

y = - $\frac{4}{5}$ x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute (- 2, - 3) into the partial equation

- 3 = $\frac{8}{5}$ + c ⇒ c = - $\frac{23}{5}$

y = - $\frac{4}{5}$ x - $\frac{23}{5}$ ← in slope-intercept form

multiply all terms by 5

5y = - 4x - 23 ( add 4x to both sides )

4x + 5y = - 23 ← in standard form
