Answer:
The rug should be 15 ft wide and 28 ft long.
Step-by-step explanation:
I have attached a figure that represents the situation.
The the rug is 
by 
, the width of the strip of floor is 
.
We are told that Cynthia can only afford 420 square feet of carpeting; therefore, it must be that
<em>(this says the area of the rug must be 420 square feet)</em>
From the figure we see that
Therefore,
We expand this equation and get:
using the quadratic equation we get two solutions:
since the second solution, namely 
, is larger than one of the dimensions of the room (is greater than 19 ft) it cannot be the width of the strip; therefore, we take 
to be our solution.
Now we find the dimensions of the rug:
The rug is 15 ft wide and 28 ft long.
Given:
The graph of a downward parabola.
To find:
The domain and range of the graph.
Solution:
Domain is the set of x-values or input values and range is the set of y-values or output values.
The graph represents a downward parabola and domain of a downward parabola is always the set of real numbers because they are defined for all real values of x.
Domain = R
Domain = (-∞,∞)
The maximum point of a downward parabola is the vertex. The range of the downward parabola is always the set of all real number which are less than or equal to the y-coordinate of the vertex.
From the graph it is clear that the vertex of the parabola is at point (5,-4). So, value of function cannot be greater than -4.
Range = All real numbers less than or equal to -4.
Range = (-∞,-4]
Therefore, the domain of the graph is (-∞,∞) and the range of the graph is (-∞,-4].
It could be all it could be one but the true answer is I’m not sure which one
Answer:
-x^2 - 11x -30
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve using foiling. Ignore the -1 to begin with and just look at the part in parenthesis. Do x from the first parenthesis times the stuff in the second parenthesis.
ie: x(x) and x(6)
ie: x^2 + 6x
Then do the 5 times the things in the second parenthesis.
ie: 5(x) and 5(6)
ie: 5x + 30
Then add what you got from multiplying the first value to what you got from multiplying the second.
ie: x^2 + 11x + 30
This is a trinomial because it has three different variables. Now change all the signs to negative because of the -1 out front.
ie: -x^2 - 11x -30
