Answer:

6 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimensions of the Pool =80 feet long by 20 feet wide

Area of the walkway =1344 square feet.

If the width of the walkway=w

  • Length of the Larger Rectangle =80+2w
  • Width of the Larger Rectangle =20+2w

Area of the Walkway =Area of the Larger Rectangle - Area of the Pool

1344=(80+2w)(20+2w)-(80*20)\\1344=80*20+160w+40w+4w^2-80*20\\4w^2+200w=1344\\4w^2+200w-1344=0\\We factorize\\4(w^2+50w-336)=0\\4(w^2-6w+56w-336)=0\\w(w-6)+56(w-6)=0\\(w-6)(w+56)=0\\w-6=0$ or $ w+56=0\\w=6$ ft or $ w=-56$ \\Therefore, the width of the walkway , w=6 feet.

find real numbers a, b, and c so that the graph of the function y=ax^2+c contains the points (-1,6), (2,7), and (0,1)
Paraphin [41]
This gives you three simultaneous equations:

6 = a + c
7 = 4a + c
1 = c
 
<u>c = 1
</u>
<u /><u />
If c =1,

6 = a + 1
<u>a = 5
</u>
<u /><u />
This doesn't work in the second equation, so the quadratic that goes through these points is not in the form y = ax^2 + bx + c
Was there supposed to be a b in the equation?
