A garden measuring 12 meters by 6 meters is going to have a walkway constructed all around the perimeter, increasing the total a

rea to 160 square meters. What will be the width of the pathway? (The pathway will be the same width around the entire garden).

Answer:

x=2 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

length = 12+2x

width = 6+2x

Area = (12+2x) (6+2x) = 160

Foil

 72 + 12x+24x+4x^2 = 160

Combine like terms

4x^2 + 36x +72 = 160

Subtract 160 from each side

4x^2 +36x -88 =0

Divide by 4

x^2 +9x -22=0

Factor

What 2 numbers multiply to -22 and add to 9

11 * -2 = -22

11+ -2 = 9

(x +11) (x-2) =0

Using the zero product property

x=-11  x=2

Since we cant have negative length

x=2

Answer:

<em>Width of Pathway; 2 meters</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the width of the pathway we can tell that the length of the ends ( in meters ) is distributed among the two other ends of the garden so that the width ⇒

Increase length on one side * 2, if increased length / width ⇒ x, 2x

From this we can formulate an equation based on the lengths of the garden, as the increased lengths represents the side lengths of the total area ( walkway + garden );

( 12 + 2x )( 6 + 2x ) = 160 ⇒ Expand,

72 + 36x + 4x^2 = 160 ⇒ Subtract 160 on either side,

4x^2 + 36x - 88 = 0 ⇒ Factor,

4 * ( x - 2 ) * ( x + 11 ) = 0 ⇒ Use Zero Factor Principle,

x = 2, and x = - 11;

Now the width can only be a positive value, thus;

<em>Solution; Width ⇒ 2 meters</em>

A. Plot the data for the functions f(x) and g(x) on a grid and connect the points.
labwork [276]

Answer:

  a) see the plots below

  b) f(x) is exponential; g(x) is linear (see below for explanation)

  c) the function values are never equal

Step-by-step explanation:

a) a graph of the two function values is attached

__

b) Adjacent values of f(x) have a common ratio of 3, so f(x) is exponential (with a base of 3). Adjacent values of g(x) have a common difference of 2, so g(x) is linear (with a slope of 2).

__

c) At x ≥ 1, the slope of f(x) is greater than the slope of g(x), and the value of f(x) is greater than the value of g(x), so the curves can never cross for x > 1. Similarly, for x ≤ 0, the slope of f(x) is less than the slope of g(x). Once again, f(0) is greater than g(0), so the curves can never cross.

In the region between x=0 and x=1, f(x) remains greater than g(x). The smallest difference is about 0.73, near x = 0.545, where the slopes of the two functions are equal.

The coordinates of the point that is a reflection of Y(-4, -2) across the x-axis are ( , ). The coordinates of the point that is
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

Reflection across the x-axis: (-4,2)

Reflection across the y-axis: (4,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Going based off of what I see, a reflection across the x axis changes "y" & the same rule applies to the y axis.

It should be an L shape.

What is the answer 9c-5=13?
riadik2000 [5.3K]
C is 2 because you have to move the 5 so you add 5 to 13 which is 18 then divide both sides by 9 so it's 2

please only answer if you know the correct answer and answer all question please please please please please
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

Part A: B) 3

Part B: $40

4. -1

7. 5x + 6y

8. Part A: y = 20x

8. Part B: $300

9. e > 12000 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A: x = 5t + 5

20 = 5t +5

15 = 5t

t = 3

Part B: x = 5t + 5

x = 5(7) + 5

x = 35 +5

x = 40

4. 24 - 5^2

24 - (5*5)

24 - 25 = -1

7. 2x + 4y + 5 + 2y - 5 + 3x

2x + 3x = 5x

4y + 2y = 6y

5 + (-5) = 0

5x + 6y

8. Part A:

Total = y

Lawns = x

Amount = $20

so y = 20x

8. Part B:

y = 20x

y = 20(15)

y = 300

9. The elephant weighs more than 12000 pounds

Elephant = e

More than =  >

Pounds = 12000

e > 12000 pounds
