Collin is building a deck on the back of his house. He has enough lumber for the deck to be 144 square feet. The length should b

e 10 feet more than its width.
What should the dimensions of the deck be?

Width = x
length = x+10

Area of deck = 144 square feet

Area = length * width

144 = x(x+10)

Solving for x in a quadratic:

x²+10x = 144
x²+10x-144 = 0

Factor:
(x+18)(x-8) = 0

Solving for x:
x = 8, x = -18

Dimensions cannot be negative, therefore x = 8, only.

Length = x + 10
Length = 18

Width = 8

explain how you can use a straightedge and a protractor to show that each angle you formed by a bisector is one-half the origina
Natasha2012 [34]
You can do that by simply measuring the main angle and then measuring each of the two angles. If you bisected the angle correctly, you will find that each of the two angles is equal to half the original.

You can measure the angle by following these steps:
1- Place the straightedge on the base of the angle.
2- Slide the protractor over it until the vertex of the angle is at the zero of the protractor.
3- Measure the angle.

3x+y=1/3<br> 2x-3y=8/3<br><br> Solve the system of linear equation using any method.
krek1111 [17]
3x + 1y = ¹/₃   ⇒ 9x + 3y = 1
2x -  3y = 2²/₃ ⇒ 2x -  3y = 2²/₃
                                 11x = 3²/₃
                                  11     11
                                     x = ¹/₃
                             3x + y = ¹/₃
                         3(¹/₃) + y = ¹/₃
                               1 + y = ¹/₃
                             - 1        - 1
                                     y = ⁻²/₃
                              (x, y) = (¹/₃, ⁻²/₃)

Graph the functions and approximate an x-value in which the exponential function exceeds the polynomial function. y = 4x y = 7x2
nordsb [41]

Answer:

The Exponential function is

y=4^x

And the polynomial function is

y=7 x^2 +4 x -2

And, we have to find the value of x for which, exponential function exceeds the polynomial function which can be written as

4^x> 7 x^2 +4 x -2

1. When , x= -1

LHS

4^{-1}=\frac{1}{4}=0.25

RHS

=7*(-1)^2 +4 *(-1)-2\\\\=7-4-2=1

2. When , x=0

L HS

 4^0=1

RHS

7*0+4*0-2= -2

3. When ,x= 0.5

L HS

 4^{0.5}=2

RHS

=7*0.25 +4*0.5 -2\\\\= 1.75+2-2\\\\=1.75

4. When , x=2

LHS

 4^{2}=16

RHS

=7*4^2+4*4-2\\\\=112+16-2\\\\=126

The Minimum value for which  exponential function exceeds the polynomial function is , x= 0.5

But,there is other value for which  exponential function exceeds the polynomial function is , x=2.
