Answer:

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a square is

A=x^2               .... (1)

where, x is side length.

The length of each side of his square plot is decreasing at the constant rate of 2 feet/year.

\dfrac{dx}{dt}=2

It is given that bob currently owns 250,000 square feet of land.

Fist find the length of each side.

A=250000

x^2=250000

Taking square root on both sides.

x=500

Differentiate with respect to t.

\dfrac{dA}{dt}=2x\dfrac{dx}{dt}

Substitute x=500 and \frac{dx}{dt}=2 in the above equation.

\dfrac{dA}{dt}=2(500)(2)

\dfrac{dA}{dt}=2000

Farmer bob is losing 2,000 square feet of land per year.

Therefore, the correct option is A.

x+(x+3)+x^2=75 Please help........ Everyone is giving me answers i know arent true...
son4ous [18]

x + (x + 3) + x^{2} = 75

so you will add up all of the x 's but NOT the x^2

2x + 3 + x^{2} = 75

Rearrange to put the x^2 in front of 2x

x^{2} + 2x + 3 = 75

subtract the 75 from both sides

x^{2} + 2x - 72 = 0

-11=(x-3)÷2 what is the solution for x
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

          -19

Step-by-step explanation:

                     ~ Distribute:

               - 11 = 1 / 2 x + -3 / 2

                        ~ Flip the equation:

                  1 / 2 x + -3 / 2 = -11

                          ~ Use transposition method:

                     (take -3 / 2 to the other side)

                       1 / 2 x = -11 - (-3 / 2)

                                  = -19 / 2

                                x = -12 / 2 * 2

                                    = -19

Hope this helped

Anyone mind helping me solve this inequality? Step by step
dlinn [17]

By decomposing the figure in simpler shapes, we will see that the total area is:

a = 180 cm²

<h3>How to find the area of the composite figure?</h3>

Remember that the area of a rectangle of width W and length L is:

A = L*W

And the area of a triangle with base B and height H is:

A = B*H/2.

Then, the upper part can be seen as a rectangle of length of 6cm and width of 6 cm, with two triangles on the sides, such that each triangle has a base of 3cm and a height of 6cm.

So the area of that part is:

A = 6cm*6cm + 2*(3cm*6cm/2) = 54cm²

Now, the bottom triangle has a base of 12 cm, and a height of:

15cm - 6cm = 9cm

Then its area is:

A' = 12cm*9cm/2 = 54cm²

This means that the total area of the figure is:

total area = 54cm² + 54cm² = 108cm²
