Answer:
Width 150 meters.
Length = 350 meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume the width of the fence = k meters
So, both sides = k + k = 2k meters
Also, the TOTAL fencing length = 600 m
So, the one side length of the fence = (600 - 2 k) meters
AREA = LENGTH x WIDTH
⇒ A(k) = (600 - 2k) (k)
or, A = -2k² + 600 k
The above equation is of the form: ax² +bx + C
Here: a = - 2 , b = 600 and C = 0
As a< 0, the parabola opens DOWNWARDS.
Here, x value is given as:
Solving for the value of k similarly, we get:
Thus the desired width = k = 150 meters
So, the desired dimensions of the plot is width 150 meters.
And length = 650 - 2k = 650 - 300 = 350 meters.
Answer:
The graph crosses the x-axis 2 times
The solutions are x = -8 & x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Qaudratics are in the form
Where a, b, c are constants
Now, let's arrange this equation in this form:
Where
a = 1
b = 4
c = -32
We need to know the discriminant to know nature of roots. The discriminant is:
If
- D = 0 , we have 2 similar root and there is 2 solutions and that touches the x-axis
- D > 0, we have 2 distinct roots/solutions and both cut the x-axis
- D < 0, we have imaginary roots and it never cuts the x-axis
Let's find value of Discriminant:
Certainly D > 0, so there are 2 distinct roots and cuts the x-axis twice.
We get the roots/solutions by factoring:
Thus,
The graph crosses the x-axis 2 times
The solutions are x = -8 & x = 4
