1/5 of a foot

Simply subtract the height of Pancho’s sandcastle (3/5 of a foot) minus the height of his sister’s sandcastle (2/5 of a foot) to find a difference of 1/5 of a foot, meaning Pancho’s sandcastle was 1/5 of a foot taller than his sister’s sandcastle.

Answer:   (-2, 5) and (2, -3)

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Graph the line y = -2x + 1 (which is in y = mx + b format) by plotting the y-intercept (b = 1) on the y-axis and then using the slope (m = -2) to plot the second point by going down 2 and right 1 unit from the first point:

        y - intercept = (0, 1)            2nd point = ( -1, 1).

Graph the parabola y = x² - 2x - 3 by first plotting the vertex and then plotting the y-intercept (or some other point):

y = x^2-2x-3\quad \rightarrow \quad a=1,\ b=-2,\ c=-3\\\\\text{axis of symmetry:}\ x = \dfrac{-b}{2a}\ \longrightarrow \ x=\dfrac{-(-2)}{2(1)}=\dfrac{2}{2}=1\\\\\text{y-value of vertex:}\ f(1) = (1)^2-2(1)-3\quad \longrightarrow \quad y = 1 - 2 - 3=-4\\\\\text{y-intercept:}\ f(0)= (0)^2-2(0)-3\ \longrightarrow \ y=0 - 0 - 3 = -3 \\

         vertex = (1, -4)                2nd point (y-intercept) = (0, -3)


<em>see attached</em> - the graphs intersect at two points:  (-2, 5) and (2, -3)

A rectangular floor measures 10 1/8 feet by 13 3/4 feet. If Emily buys 150 square feet of carpet, will she have enough carpet to
miss Akunina [59]
Yes she will have enough. Here is why.

10 1/8 x 13 3/4 = 139

Therefore the room is 139 square feet. She has 150 square feet of carpet, so she has enough.

Amanda needs to make a garden plot which has an area less than 18 sq. feet. The length should be 3 feet longer than the width. W
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

<em>Any width less than 3 feet</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Inequalities</u>

The garden plot will have an area of less than 18 square feet. If L is the length of the garden plot and W is the width, the area is calculated by:

A = L.W

The first condition can be written as follows:

LW < 18

The length should be 3 feet longer than the width, thus:

L = W + 3

Substituting in the inequality:

(W + 3)W < 18

Operating and rearranging:

W^2 + 3W - 18 < 0

Factoring:

(W-3)(W+6)<0

Since W must be positive, the only restriction comes from:

W - 3 < 0

Or, equivalently:

W < 3

Since:

L = W + 3

W = L - 3

This means:

L - 3 < 3

L < 6

The width should be less than 3 feet and therefore the length will be less than 6 feet.

If the measures are whole numbers, the possible dimensions of the garden plot are:

W = 1 ft, L = 4 ft

W = 2 ft, L = 5 ft

Another solution would be (for non-integer numbers):

W = 2.5 ft, L = 5.5 ft

There are infinitely many possible combinations for W and L as real numbers.
