Answer:
The dimensions of the work area are 16 ft by 36 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> the length of the work area in feet
y-----> the width of the work area in feet
we know that
The perimeter of the work area is equal to
simplify
----> equation A
The area of the work area is equal to
---> equation B
substitute equation A in equation B
solve the quadratic equation by graphing
using a graphing tool
The solutions are
x=16 ft, y=36 ft
or
x=36 ft, y=16 ft
see the attached figure
therefore
The dimensions of the work area are 16 ft by 36 ft
Here is one way to solve for x.
Step 1) 2x^2-7=9
Step 2) 2x^2-7+7=9+7
Step 3) 2x^2=16
Step 4) (2x^2)/2=16/2
Step 5) x^2=8
Step 6) sqrt(x^2)=sqrt(8)
Step 7) |x|=sqrt(8)
Step 8) x=sqrt(8) or x=-sqrt(8)
-------------------------------------
Below are explanations/reasons to each of the steps above.
Step 1) Original equation
Step 2) Add 7 to both sides
Step 3) Combine like terms
Step 4) Divide both sides by 2
Step 5) Simplify
Step 6) Apply the square root to both sides. The notation "sqrt" is shorthand for "square root"
Step 7) Use the rule that sqrt(x^2) = |x| for all real numbers x
Step 8) Use the rule that if |x| = k then x = k or x = -k for some fixed number k.
-------------------------------------
The two solutions are
x = sqrt(8) or x = -sqrt(8)
Answer:
(-1, 5/2)
Step-by-step explanation:
That is what I got
8x7x6 = 336. There are 8 possible options for slot 1, then 7 for 2, and 6 for the last slot.
1/4n I think I hope this is correct
