w x L = 36
w = L- 5
L x ( L-5 ) = 36
L^2 -5L -36 =0
<span>Use the quadratic formula
L= - b + radical b^2 - 4 (a)(c) divided 2.a
L= 5 + 13 / 2 = 18 /2 =9</span>
It has been determined that the number of fish f(t) that can be caught in t minutes in a certain pond using a certain bait is f(t) = .25t + 1, for t > 10. Find the number of fish that can be caught if you fish for 15 minutes. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
Well, Kate and Harry together are walking 100 meters per minute. Which means it will take them 25 minutes to reach each other (I think).
If the dog is running 120 meters per minute: 120 x 25 = 3,000.
The dog will run 3,000 meters (if he runs constantly to and from the spot that Kate and and Harry started).
