Ms. Ahmed has a rectangular garden where she grows tomatoes. The length of her garden is represented by t + 4 and the width by 2

t - 1. Express the area of Ms. Ahmed's garden as a polynomial in standard form. If the area of Ms. Ahmed's garden is 56 ft2, what are the dimensions of the garden?

Answer:

Area of the garden in standard form:

Area = (2t^2) + 7t - 4

The dimension of the garden is 8ft × 7ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the rectangular garden, L = t+4

Width of the garden, B = 2t - 1

Area = length * width

Area = (t+4) * ( 2t-1)

Area = (2t^2) + 7t - 4..….......(1)

If the Area = 56 ft^2

Substitute Area into (1)

56 = (2t^2) + 7t - 4

(2t^2) + 7t - 60 = 0

(2t^2) - 8t + 15t - 60 = 0

2t(t - 4) + 15(t - 4) = 0

(2t+15) (t-4) = 0

Let 2t + 15 =0

t = -7.5

Let t - 4 = 0

t = 4

* When t = -7.5

Length, L = -7.5 + 4 = -3.5 ft

Width, B = 2(-7.5) -1 = -16 ft

Since length and breadth cannot be negative, t = -7.5 is not possible

** When t = 4

Length, L = 4+4 = 8 ft

Width, B = 2(4) - 1 = 7 ft

Therefore, the dimension of the garden is 8ft × 7ft

Answer:

The dimension is 8ft by 7ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Length l =  (t+4)

Width w=  (2t-1)

the area  is expressed as  A= length * width

A= (t+4)*(2t-1)\\A= t(2t-1) +4(2t-1)\\A= 2t^{2}-t+8t-4\\

collecting like terms we have

A= 2t^{2} +7t-4

hence our expression for area is A= 2t^{2} +7t-4

given that the area is 56ft^{2}  to solve for the sides we need to first solve fot t

equating the expression for area to 56 we can solve for t

A= 2t^{2} +7t-4= 56

taking the constant term to the other side and solve we have

A= 2t^{2} +7t-4-56\\A= 2t^{2} +7t-60\\

we can substitute two factors for 7t that when multiplied we give -60 and when added we give 7  these factors are 15 and -8

A= 2t^{2} +7t-60\\\\A= 2t^{2} -8t+15t-60\\2t^{2} -8t+15t-60=0\\\\2t(t-4) +15(t-4)= 0\\2t+15=0,  (t-4)= 0\\2t=-15, t= -7.5\\t= 4

t=4  hence the length is

(t+4)\\(4+4)= 8ft\\

hence the width  is

(2t-1)\\(2*4-1)= (8-1)= 7ft

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

2 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

do 16 times 2 you get 32 so there are 32 green crayons 32/9 9 times 3 is 36 which is over 32 so you cant fill 3 boxes 9 times 2 equals 27 so the answer would be she can fill 2 boxes

Kobotan [32]

When 10 meters of something is divided into 6 equal parts,
then each part is (1,666 and 2/3) millimeters long.

A).  Whole number . . . No, that's not a whole number

B).  Interger . . . No, there's no such thing as an 'interger'.

C).  Rational number . . . Yes, its the ratio of  10,000 to  6 .

Write an equation of the hyperbola given that the center is at (2, -3), the vertices are at (2, 3) and (2, - 9), and the foci ar
zavuch27 [327]
Check the picture below.

so, the hyperbola looks like so, clearly a = 6 from the traverse axis, and the "c" distance from the center to a focus has to be from -3±c, as aforementioned above, the tell-tale is that part, therefore, we can see that c = 2√(10).

because the hyperbola opens vertically, the fraction with the positive sign will be the one with the "y" in it, like you see it in the picture, so without further adieu,

\bf \textit{hyperbolas, vertical traverse axis }
\\\\
\cfrac{(y- k)^2}{ a^2}-\cfrac{(x- h)^2}{ b^2}=1
\qquad 
\begin{cases}
center\ ( h, k)\\
vertices\ ( h,  k\pm a)\\
c=\textit{distance from}\\
\qquad \textit{center to foci}\\
\qquad \sqrt{ a ^2 + b ^2}\\
asymptotes\quad  y= k\pm \cfrac{a}{b}(x- h)
\end{cases}\\\\
-------------------------------

\bf \begin{cases}
h=2\\
k=-3\\
a=6\\
c=2\sqrt{10}
\end{cases}\implies \cfrac{[y- (-3)]^2}{ 6^2}-\cfrac{(x- 2)^2}{ b^2}=1
\\\\\\
\cfrac{(y+3)^2}{ 36}-\cfrac{(x- 2)^2}{ b^2}=1
\\\\\\
c^2=a^2+b^2\implies (2\sqrt{10})^2=6^2+b^2\implies 2^2(\sqrt{10})^2=36+b^2
\\\\\\
4(10)=36+b^2\implies 40=36+b^2\implies 4=b^2
\\\\\\
\sqrt{4}=b\implies 2=b\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{(y+3)^2}{ 36}-\cfrac{(x- 2)^2}{ 2^2}=1\implies \cfrac{(y+3)^2}{ 36}-\cfrac{(x- 2)^2}{ 4}=1
