Answer:

length : 10 yard

width: 14 yard

Step-by-step explanation:

Let l be the length of the yard.

Since the width is 6 yards less than twice its length, we can say the width is 2l-6.

With width x length=area,

l (2l -6) = 140

2l^2 - 6l = 140

2l^2 - 6l - 140 = 0

Using the quadratic formula,

we can determine l = 10 or -7

since the length should not be negative,

the length is 10 yard.

Now substitute l=10 into 2l-6.

width = 2(10)-6

= 14 yard

A farmer is tracking the number of soybeans his land is yielding each year. He finds that the function f(x) = −x2 + 20x + 100 mo

labwork [276]

Answer:

The farmer should expect to LOSE 10 pounds of soybeans per acre per year

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=-x^2 + 20x + 100

just find how many soybeans his land will yield (per acre) after 10 and 20 years:

After 10: 200 pounds of soybeans/acre

After 20: 100 pounds of soybeans/acre

Because 10 years have passed and they lost 100 pounds of soybean production per acre, the farmer should expect to lose 10 pounds of soybeans per acre per year (-10 pounds of soybeans per acre/year)

Carter divided the polynomial 6x2 + 4x + 3 by the monomial 2x using long division, and got an answer of 3x + 2 + . His work is s

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

C. Both Carter and Demi are correct and would get the same answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given polynomial is : $P(x) =6x^2 + 4x + 3$

The given monomial : $Q(x) = 2 x$

Now, according to the given question:

Dividend = P(x), Divisor = Q(x)

Now, Carter divide P(x) by Q (x) with LONG DIVISION METHOD.

If we divide P(x) by Q(x) by Long division, we get:

$\frac{P(x)}{Q(x)} = \frac{(6x^2 + 4x + 3)}{(2x)} = 3x + 2 + \frac{3}{2} x = R(x)$

Also, if Demi divides each term of P(x) by The given monomial (2x) , we get:

$\frac{P(x)}{Q(x)} = \frac{(6x^2 + 4x + 3)}{(2x)} = \frac{6x^2}{2x} + \frac{4x}{2x} +\frac{3}{2x} \\= 3x + 2 + \frac{3}{2} = R(x)$

⇒In both the case, R(X)Quotient is SAME.

Hence, Both Carter and Demi are correct and would get the same answer.

Is 2(x+3)=5x+6-3x always true or never true?

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

always true

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute the left side

2(x + 3) = 2x + 6

Simplify the right side

5x + 6 - 3x ← collect like terms

= 2x + 6

Thus

left side = right side , so always true
