The initial dimenssions of the park lot are:
length: 140 ft
width: 90 ft
initial area: 140 * 90 = 12,600 ft^2
Area increased 29% = 12,600 * 1.29 = 16,254 ft^2
width of the strips: x
New length: 140 + x
New width: 90 + x
New area: (140+x)(90+x) = 16,254
Solution of the equation:
12600 + 230x + x^2 = 16254
=> x^2 + 230x - 3654 = 0
Use the quadratic formula.
x = {-230 +/- √[ 230^2 - 4*1*(-3654) ]} / 2 =
x = 14.92
The other solution is negative so it is discarded.
Answer: 15 ft
Part a.
The domain is the set of x values such that 
, basically x can be equal to -1/2 or it can be larger than -1/2. To get this answer, you solve 
for x (subtract 1 from both sides; then divide both sides by 2). I set 2x+1 larger or equal to 0 because we want to avoid the stuff under the square root to be negative.
If you want the domain in interval notation, then it would be 
which means the interval starts at -1/2 (including -1/2) and then it stops at infinity. So technically it never stops and goes on forever to the right.
-----------------------
Part b.
I'm going to use "sqrt" as shorthand for "square root"
f(x) = sqrt(2x+1)
f(10) = sqrt(2*10+1) ... every x replaced by 10
f(10) = sqrt(20+1)
f(10) = sqrt(21)
f(10) = 4.58257569 which is approximate
-----------------------
Part c.
f(x) = sqrt(2x+1)
f(x) = sqrt(2(x)+1)
f(x+2a) = sqrt(2(x+2a)+1) ... every x replaced by (x+2a)
f(x+2a) = sqrt(2x+4a+1) .... distribute
we can't simplify any further
------
13/2170 = 0.006 (to 3 decimal places)
$129.6
you do 100 times .08 and get 8 so 100 + 8 = 108
then you do 108 times .20 and get 21.6 so 108 + 21.6 = 129.6
