8 0

Answer:

3 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly we calculate the number of minutes between 8 and 11 am

The number of hours is 3 hours

The number of minutes is 180 minutes since 1 hour is 60 minutes

Now out of 180, to know the number of times that they both leave, we need to get the multiples of both between 0 and 180

The multiples are;

60, 120, 180

This means that they leave together 3 times

A person wants to create a vegetable garden and keeps the rabbits out by enclosing it with 100 feet of fencing. The area of the

alekssr [168]

Answer:

The garden can not have area of 700ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given equation for area as

$A(w)=w\times (50-w)$

where

w is the width (in feet) of the garden

now, we are given area =700 ft^2

so, we can set area =700

and then we can solve for w

$w\times (50-w)=700$

$50w-w^2=700$

$-w^2+50w-700=0$

now, we can use quadratic formula

$ax^2+bx+c=0$

$w=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

we can compare and find a,b, and c

a=-1 , b=50 , c=-700

now, we can plug values

$w=\frac{-50\pm \sqrt{50^2-4\left(-1\right)\left(-700\right)}}{2\left(-1\right)}$

$w=25-5\sqrt{3}i,\:w=25+5\sqrt{3}i$

We can see that values of w is not real

so, w does not exists when area =700

so, The garden can not have area of 700ft^2

Find the value of a and of b for which<br>(a) the solution of x2 + ax < b is<br>-2<x < 4

KengaRu [80]

Answer: $a = -2$

$b = 8$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

$x^{2} +ax$

re - writing the equation , we have

$x^{2} +ax-b$

we need to find the value of a and b for which -2<x < 4 , this means that the roots of the quadratic equation are -2<x < 4.

The formula for finding the quadratic equation when the roots are known is :

$x^{2}$ - sum of roots(x) + product of root = 0

sum of roots = -2 + 4 = 2

product of roots = -2 x 4 = -8

substituting into the formula , we have:

$x^{2} -2x-8=0$ , which could be written in inequality form as

$x^{2} -2x-8$

comparing with $x^{2} +ax-b$ , it means that :

$a = -2$

$b = 8$
