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

A hot air balloon hovers 75 feet above the ground. The balloon is tethered to the ground
DIA [1.3K]

Angle of elevation is 37°

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

As we have the opposite side 75 ft to the angle and the hypotenuse 125 ft, we can find the sine value as,

sin θ = opp/ hyp

       = 75/125

     = 0.6

θ = sin⁻¹ (0.6) = 36.9°≈ 37°

So angle of elevation is 37°.

Which two points are on the graph of y = -x + 3?
ch4aika [34]

The points (0, 3) and (4, -1) are on the graph of y = -x + 3.

I have a site that I use a lot that is perfect for problems like these. It's called Desmos.com. It's basically a free online graphing calculator that is super helpful for most problems relating to graphs.

If y varies inversely as x, and y = 4 as x = 8, find y for the x-value of 2.
anyanavicka [17]
Because y varies inversely as x, instead of directly, you will need to multiply x by a fractional number (or divide x) in order to find y.
When x=8, y=4. Therefore, to find y, you need the "equation" y=(1/2)(x) or y=x/2.
So, when x=2, y=(1/2)(2) or y=2/2.
And so, y=1
Hope this helps!
