Answer:

x = 4.85 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Original area of the petting farm = 10 × 14

= 140 square feet

.

New area = double the original area = 140 * 2

= 280 square feet

New area of the petting farm =

Width × length

280 = (10+x) × (14+x)

280 = 140 + 10x + 14x + x²

280 - 140 = x² + 24x

140 = x² + 24x

x² + 24x - 140 = 0

Solve the quadratic equation

x = -b ± √b² - 4ac / 2a

= -24 ± √(24)² - 4*1*-140 / 2*1

= -24 ± √ 576 - (-560) / 2

= -24 ± √ 576 + 560 / 2

= -24 ± √1,136 / 2

= -24 ± 4√71 / 2

= -24/2 ± 4√71/2

= -12 ± 2√71

x = 4.8523 or x = -28.8583

x can not be a negative value

Therefore,

x = 4.85 feet to the nearest hundredth

The net worthw(t) of a company is growing at a rate of′(t) = 2000−121t2dollarsper year, wheretis in years since 1990.(a) If the
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

The worth of the company in 2000 is $56,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

The growth rate of the company is:

f'(t)=2000-12t^{2}

To determine the worth of the company in 2000, first compute the change in the net worth during the period 1990 (<em>t</em> = 0) to 2000 (<em>t</em> = 10) as follows:

\int\limits^{10}_{0} {2000-12t^{2}} \, dt =\int\limits^{10}_{0} {2000} \, dt-12\int\limits^{10}_{0} {t^{2}} \, dt=2000 |t|^{10}_{0}-12|\frac{t^{3}}{3}|^{10}_{0}\\=(2000\times10)-(4\times10^{3})\\=20000-4000\\=16000

The increase in the company's net worth from 1990 to 2000 is $16,000.

If the company's worth was $40,000 in 1990 then the worth of the company in 2000 is:

Worth in 2000 = Worth in 1990 + Net increase in company's worth

                        =40000+16000\\=56000

Thus, the worth of the company in 2000 is $56,000.
