Answer:

59.5

Step-by-step explanation:

1st tree to shadow ratio: 17:10

Plug the numbers in to get x:35

17:10=x:35

17/10=x/35

Multiply both sides by 35

595/10=x

59.5=x

Answer: Anything between 0 and 10, excluding both endpoints.

In terms of symbols we can say 0 < w < 10 where w is the width.

===================================================

Explanation:

You could do this with two variables, but I think it's easier to instead use one variable only. This is because the length is dependent on what you pick for the width.

w = width

2w = twice the width

2w-5 = five less than twice the width = length

So,

  • width = w
  • length = 2w-5

which lead to

area = length*width

area = (2w-5)*w

area = 2w^2-5w

area < 150

2w^2 - 5w < 150

2w^2 - 5w - 150 < 0

To solve this inequality, we will solve the equation 2w^2-5w-150 = 0

Use the quadratic formula. Plug in a = 2, b = -5, c = -150

w = \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\w = \frac{-(-5)\pm\sqrt{(-5)^2-4(2)(-150)}}{2(2)}\\\\w = \frac{5\pm\sqrt{1225}}{4}\\\\w = \frac{5\pm35}{4}\\\\w = \frac{5+35}{4} \ \text{ or } \ w = \frac{5-35}{4}\\\\w = \frac{40}{4} \ \text{ or } \ w = \frac{-30}{4}\\\\w = 10 \ \text{ or } \ w = -7.5\\\\

Ignore the negative solution as it makes no sense to have a negative width.

The only practical root is w = 10.

If w = 10 feet, then the area = 2w^2-5w results in 150 square feet.

----------------------

Based on that root, we need to try a sample value that is to the left of it.

Let's say we try w = 5.

2w^2 - 5w < 150

2*5^2 - 5*5 < 150

25 < 150 ... which is true

This shows that if 0 < w < 10, then 2w^2-5w < 150 is true.

Now try something to the right of 10. I'll pick w = 15

2w^2 - 5w < 150

2*15^2 - 5*15 < 150

375 < 150 ... which is false

It means w > 10 leads to 2w^2-5w < 150  being false.

Therefore w > 10 isn't allowed if we want 2w^2-5w < 150 to be true.

What is the equation of the axis of symmetry for this function? H(x) = -X2 + 10x - 11 x = -5 0 x= -10 x = 5 x = 10
siniylev [52]

Given:

The equation of a quadratic function is:

H(x)=-x^2+10x-11

To find:

The equation of the axis of symmetry for the given function.

Solution:

If a quadratic function is f(x)=ax^2+bx+c, then the equation of the axis of symmetry is:

x=-\dfrac{b}{2a}        ...(i)

We have,

H(x)=-x^2+10x-11

Here, a=-1,b=10,c=-11. So, the equation of axis of symmetry by using (i), is

x=-\dfrac{10}{2(-1)}

x=-\dfrac{10}{-2}

x=5

Therefore, the correct option is C.

How many groups can divided into 5/8
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

0, because 5 divided by 8 is 0.625. 0.625 is not a whole number. 5/8 = 0.625
