Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

average of x-coordinates = (-11+9)/2 = -1

average of y-coordinates = (0-1)/2 = -½

midpoint: (-1,-½)

Kathy is fencing in her yard that has an area of 800 square feet. Her yard is in the shape of a rectangle where the length is 60
anygoal [31]

Answer:

The dimensions of the yard are W=20ft and L=40ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be:

W: width of the yard.

L:length.

Now, we can write the equation of that relates length and width:

L=5W-60 (Equation #1)

The area of the yard can be expressed as (using equation #1 into #2):

Area=W*L=W*(5W-60) (Equation #2)

Since the Area of the yard is 800 ft^2, then equation #2 turns into:

800=W*(5W-60)

Now, we rearrange this equation:  

800=W*(5W-60)//800=5W^2-60W//5W^2-60W-800=0

We can divide the equation by 5 :

W^2-12W-160=0

We need to find the solution for this quadratic. Let's find the factors of 160 that multiplied yields -160 and added yields -12. Let's choose -20 and 8, since (-20)*8=160 and -20+8=-12. The equation factorised looks like this:

(W-20)(W+8)=0

Therefore the possible solutions are W=20 and W=-8. We discard W=-8 since width must be a positive number. To find the length, we substitute the value of W in equation #1:

5*20-60=40

Therefore, the dimensions of the yard are W=20ft and L=40ft.

A food packet is dropped from a helicopter and is modeled by the function f(x) = −15x2 + 6000. The graph below shows the height
melisa1 [442]

General Idea:

Domain of a function means the values of x which will give a DEFINED output for the function.

Applying the concept:

Given that the x represent the time in seconds, f(x) represent the height of food packet.

Time cannot be a negative value, so

x\geq 0

The height of the food packet cannot be a negative value, so

f(x)\geq 0

We need to replace -15x^2+6000 for f(x) in the above inequality to find the domain.

-15x^2+6000\geq 0 \; \;  [Divide \; by\; -15\; on\; both\; sides]\\ \\ \frac{-15x^2}{-15} +\frac{6000}{-15} \leq \frac{0}{-15} \\ \\ x^2-400\leq 0\;[Factoring\;on\;left\;side]\\ \\ (x+200)(x-200)\leq 0

The possible solutions of the above inequality are given by the intervals (-\infty , -2], [-2,2], [2,\infty ). We need to pick test point from each possible solution interval and check whether that test point make the inequality (x+200)(x-200)\leq 0 true. Only the test point from the solution interval [-200, 200] make the inequality true.

The values of x which will make the above inequality TRUE is -200\leq x\leq 200

But we already know x should be positive, because time cannot be negative.

Conclusion:

Domain of the given function is 0\leq x\leq 200

The perimeter of this isosceles triangle is 22 cm. If one side is 6 cm, what are the possible lengths of the other two sides? Pa
3241004551 [841]
We know that

<span>the isosceles triangle has two equal sides
</span>
<span>let's analyze two cases
</span>
first case
perimeter=22 cm
<span>let's suppose that the known side of 6 cm is one of the two equal sides
</span>perimeter=6+6+x
22=6+6+x-----> x=22-12----> x=10 cm

answer first case
<span>the possible lengths of the other two sides are
</span>6 cm 
10 cm

second case
let's suppose that the known side of 6 cm is the side that is not equal
perimeter=22 cm
perimeter=6+x+x
22=6+x+x----> 2x=22-6----> 2x=16-----> x=8 cm


answer second case
the possible lengths of the other two sides are
8 cm 
8 cm
