A farmer needs to enclose three sides of a field with a fence (the fourth side is a river). The farmer has 49 yards of fence and

wants the field to have an area of 294 sq-yards. What should the dimensions of the field be? (For the purpose of this problem, the width will be the smaller dimension (needing two sides); the length with be the longer dimension (needing one side). Additionally, the length should be as long as possible.)

Answer:

The length of the field = 24.5 yards

The width of the field = 12 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

If "w" is the width, then the length is 49 - 2w.

The area of the rectangle field = length × width

= w(49 - 2w)

Area = 49w - 2w^2

This a quadratic equation, the vertex of x coordinate is w

w = \frac{-b}{2a}

Here a = -2 and b = 49

w = \frac{-49}{2(-2)} = \frac{-49}{-4} = 12.25.

So width of the field is 12.25 yards.

The length of the filed = 49 - 2(12.25) = 24.5

Area = 12.25 × 24.5 = 300.125 square yards.

The field has an area of 294.

Therefore, the length must be 24.5 yards and width must be 12 yards.

24.5 × 12 =294 square yards.

Therefore, the length of the field = 24.5 yards

the width of the field = 12 yards.

Answer:

2) 11

3) 21

4) 7

Step-by-step explanation:

2) (-6) -(-17) = 17 - 6 = 11

3) 19 - (-2) = 19 + 2 = 21

4) (-13) + 20 = 20 - 13 = 7

The difference between two numbers is 2 and their product is 224. What are the numbers?
Sati [7]

Let x,y be the two numbers. We have two pieces of information:

x-y=2 (the difference between the two numbers is 2)

xy=224 (their product is 224)

From the first equation, we can deduce x=y+2

If we plug this expression in the second equation, we have

xy = (y+2)y = 224 \iff y^2+2y-224 =0

If you solve this equation with the usual quadratic formula you get the solutions

y=-16,\quad y=14

So, you have the following couple of solutions, recalling that x is 2 more than y:

\begin{cases} x = -14\\y=-16\end{cases},\quad\begin{cases} x = 16\\y=14\end{cases}

3x + 7y = 21 –3x – 7y = 42<br> Solve the system of equations?
likoan [24]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

The equations describe parallel lines. There are no values of x and y that will satisfy both equations.

In standard form, the two equations are ...

  3x +7y = 21

  3x +7y = -42 . . . . . with positive leading coefficient

If (x, y) values satisfy the first equation, they cannot satisfy the second equation, and vice versa.
