Answer:

<h2>Kayla needs 8 boxes of grass seed to cover the whole garden without including the pond.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

You can observe a representation of this problem in the image attached.

Notice that the grass seed is gonna be put only in the green zone, out of the pond. So, we need to find each area and subtract them.

$A_{garden}= 14 \times 9 =126 \ m^{2} \\A_{pond}=2.4 \times 3.8 = 9.12 \ m^{2}$

The difference is

$A_{seed}=126 - 9.12 = 116.88 \ m^{2}$

Now, according to the problem, one box of grass seed covers 15 meters of the garden, let's divide this number with the seed area.

$n=\frac{116.88}{15} \approx 7.792$

Therefore, Kayla needs 8 boxes of grass seed to cover the whole garden without including the pond.

School is making digital backups of old reels of film in its library archives the table shown approximate run Times of the films

Gemiola [76]

One technique that you can apply when solving such a problem is trial and error. We try to use each equation to prove that a given value of x on the table given will correspond to the value of y on the table.

a) Let's try to put x = 3 for the first equation and we must get an answer equal to 2.25.

$y=7.72(3)-29.02=-5.86_{}$

Since the value of y is not equal to 2.25 and the deviation is too large. this equation is not a good model,

b) We put x = 3 on the second equation and solve for y

$y=-7.52(3)^2+0.19(3)+3.26=-63.85$

Since the value of y is not equal to 2.25 and the deviation is too large. this equation is not a good model,

c) We put x = 3 on the third equation and solve for y,

$y=0.4(3)^2+0.79(3)-4.93=1.04$

Again, the value that we get is not equal to 2.25, hence, this equation is not a good model. But since its value is close to 2.25, we try to other values of x. If x = 5, we get

$y=0.4(5)^2+0.79(5)-4.93=9.02$

which has a slight deviation on the given value of y on the table for x = 5. let's try for x = 7. We have

$y=0.4(7)^2+0.79(7)-4.93=20.2$

and the answer has a small deviation compared to the actual value given. The other values of x can again be put on the equation and check their corresponding value of y, and the resulting values are as follows

$\begin{gathered} y=0.4(8)^2+0.79(8)-4.93=26.99 \\ y=0.4(12)^2+0.79(12)-4.93=62.15 \\ y=0.4(14)^2+0.79(14)-4.93=84.53 \end{gathered}$

And as you can see, the deviation of values from the table to calculated becomes smaller. Hence, this is the best model.

d) We put x = 3 on the third equation and solve for y,

$y=4.19(1.02)^3=4.45_{}_{}$

Again, the value that we get is not equal to 2.25, hence, this equation is not a good model. But since its value is close to 2.25, we try to other values of x. If x = 5, we get

$y=4.19(1.02)^5=4.63$

where the answer's deviation is too large compared to the value of y if x = 5 on the table given.

Based on the calculations used above, the best equation that can be a good model is equation 3.

Kevin wants to buy an area rug for his living room. He would like the area rug to be no smaller that 48 square feet and no bigge

mariarad [96]

Answer:

8-10 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

If the length of the carpet is two more than the width, the width can be expressed as x and the length can be expressed as x+2. This means that the area(x^2+2x) must be greater than 48 but no less than 80.

Now we can solve for both the maximum and minimum cases:

x^2+2x=48, x^2+2x-48=0, now we can factor, (x+8)(x-6)=0, and now we can use the Zero Product Property to find x=-8;x=6. Since we cant have negative width, x at least has to be equal to 6.

x^2+2x=80,x^2+2x-80=0, now we can factor, (x+10)(x-8), and now using the Zero Product Property to find x=-10;x=8, and since it must be positive, at most x can equal 8.

Now since the length is two more than the width, x, you add two to both of these values and get a range of 8-10 feet.
