Answer:

  3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the width of the deck. The deck adds to the pool dimensions on both sides, so the area of the site including pool and deck will be ...

  A = (20 +2x)(50 +2x) = 1000 +140x +4x^2

The area of the pool alone is

  A = (20)(50) = 1000

So, the area of the deck is the difference:

  456 = (4x^2 +140x +1000) -(1000)

Dividing by 4 and subtracting 114, we have ...

  x^2 +35x -114 = 0

  (x -3)(x +38) = 0

Solutions to this are x = 3 and x = -38. The positive solution is the one of interest.

The deck is 3 feet wide.

This season, the probability that the Yankees will win a game is 0.6 and the probability that the Yankees will score 5 or more r
juin [17]

Answer:

Since this season, the probability that the Yankees will win a game is 0.6 The probability that the Yankees will lose when they score 5 or more runs is 19.2%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this season, the probability that the Yankees will win a game is 0.6 and the probability that the Yankees will score 5 or more runs in a game is 0.48, and he probability that the Yankees lose and score fewer than 5 runs is 0.33, To determine what is the probability that the Yankees will lose when they score 5 or more runs, the following calculation must be performed:

(1 - 0.6) x 0.48 = X

0.40 x 0.48 = X

0.192 = X

0.192 x 100 = 19.2

Therefore, the probability that the Yankees will lose when they score 5 or more runs is 19.2%.

What is f(x) and how do you get f(7)
svlad2 [7]
I’m not sure what you mean but here’s what I think:

• f(x) is basically another use for “y”.
• f(7): 7 is the “x” variable that is put into the equation. Because the original form is “f(x)”, we know that with 7 in place of “x”, 7=x.
