Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Sides of the garden</u>
<u>New dimensions of the garden</u>
<u>1. The area of the new garden</u>
- (16 + 2x)(8 + x) =
- 2x^2 + 32x + 128
<u>2. The difference in area </u>
- 2x^2 + 32x + 128 - 16*8 =
- 2x^2 + 32x
<u>3. x= 2 effect on the area</u>
- 2*2^2 + 32*2 =
- 8 + 64 =
- 72 ft²
<u>4. Area difference = 160</u>
- 2x^2 + 32x = 160
- x^2 + 16x - 80 = 0
- Solving we get positive root of 4 ft
<u>5. Area difference = 4 times</u>
- 2x^2 + 32x = 128*3
- 2x^2 + 32x - 384 = 0
- x^2 + 16x - 192= 0
- Solving we get positive root of 8 ft
Answer:
495 combinations of 4 students can be selected.
Step-by-step explanation:
The order of the students in the sample is not important. So we use the combinations formula to solve this question.
Combinations formula:
is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

How many combination of random samples of 4 students can be selected?
4 from a set of 12. So

495 combinations of 4 students can be selected.
The mean absolute deviation shows the average distance number data is from each other. The bigger it is the farther the numbers are away from each other and vice versa.
The answer is x = 8
