Answer:

x = -5 y = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x -4

5x + y = - 34

substitute x-4 in for y to solve for x

5x + x - 4 = 34

solve for x . . . add 5x + x = 6x

so you now have 6x-4 = -34

add 4 to both sides of the equation

6x-4 + 4 = -34+ 4

6x = -30

divide both sides by 6

6x/6 = -30/6

x= -5

then you plug -5 for x in the first equation

y = x - 4

y= -5 -4

y =-9

x= -5 y= -9

A square has an area that is less than 100 m2. What is a reasonable range for the graph of the square’s side?

damaskus [11]

Square's side range is (√0,√100) =(0,10); this more than 0 and less than 10.

A farmer has 300 ft of fence to enclose 2 adjacent rectangular pens bordering his barn. Find the maximum area he can close.

Margarita [4]

Answer:

Width of 37.5 feet and length of 50 feet will maximize the area.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w represent width and l represent length of the pen.

We have been given that a farmer has 300 ft of fence to enclose 2 adjacent rectangular pens bordering his barn. We are asked to find the dimensions that will maximize the area.

We can see from the attachment that the perimeter of the pens would be $4w+3l$ .

We can set our given information in an equation $4w+3l=300$ .

The area of the two pens would be $A=2l\cdot w$ .

From perimeter equation, we will get:

$w=\frac{300-3l}{4}$

Substituting this value in area equation, we will get:

$A=2l\cdot (\frac{300-3l}{4})$

Since we need to maximize area, so we need to find derivative of area function as:

$A=\frac{600l-6l^2}{4}$

Bring out the constant:

$A=\frac{1}{4}*\frac{d}{dl}(600l-6l^2)$

$A=\frac{1}{4}*(600-12l)$

$A=150-3l$

Now, we will set our derivative equal to 0 as:

$150-3l=0$

$150=3l$

$\frac{150}{3}=\frac{3l}{3}$

$50=l$

Now, we will substitute $l=50$ in equation $w=\frac{300-3l}{4}$ to solve for width as:

$w=\frac{300-3(50)}{4}$

$w=\frac{300-150}{4}$

$w=\frac{150}{4}$

$w=37.5$

Therefore, width of 37.5 feet and length of 50 feet will maximize the area.

You answer is A. You have to substitute the values of x and y into the equation.

(3*1)= 4-1

4-(2*1)=2

(4,1)

Every _____ tessellates.<br> A. Decagon<br> B. Polygon<br> C. Triangle<br> D. Hexagon

olga2289 [7]

The answer is letter B. Every polygon tesselates. Since the word 'tesselate' here means a pattern of shapes put together without any gaps, then I think every polygon tesselates if they are put side by side together in varying amounts and leave absolutely no gaps or spaces between each other.
