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

Answer:  Choice B) SAS

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

Explanation:

The sides that have the double tickmarks are the same length. This forms one "S" of "SAS".

The square angles are 90 degree angles, or right angles. They are congruent. This forms the "A" of "SAS".

The overlapping sides are the same length, which forms the second "S" of "SAS".

The angle is between the two sides allowing us to use SAS. The order is important.

Use the shell method to find the volume of the solid generated by revolving the regions bounded by the curves and lines about th
RSB [31]

Answer:

The volume of the solid is:

\displaystyle\frac{19\pi}{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

See the graph of the region attached.

To find the intersection between the line and the parabola we set the equation equal to each other, and solve that quadratic equation by factorization:

x^2=9-8x\\x^2+8x-9=0\\(x+9)(x-1)=0\\x=-9,x=1

Since the region is the one for x\ge 0 then the intersection we are interested on is x=1 as it can also be seen in the graph.

Then we set the integral using shell method for revolving about the y-axis:

\displaystyle\int_a^b 2\pi\,x\,h(x)\,dx

Where h(x) is the height of the shell which here is the distance between the parabola and the line, so 8x-9-x^2 (since the line is on the top we subtract from it the parabola)

Then the integral becomes:

\displaystyle\int_0^1 2\pi\,x\,(8x-9-x^2)\,dx

Notice the limits of the integral are the x-axis (x=0) and the intersection of the parabola and the line that we found before (x=1)

Now, solving the integral:

Start by factoring the 2\pi and distributing the x:

=\displaystyle2\pi \int_0^19x-8x^2-x^3dx

Then use the basic rule to integrate:

=\displaystyle2\pi \left[\frac{9x^2}{2}-\frac{8x^2}{3}-\frac{x^4}{4}\right|_0^1

Then evaluate the antiderivative in the limits and subtract:

=\displaystyle2\pi\left[\frac{9}{2}-\frac{8}{3}-\frac{1}{4}-0\right]=\frac{19\pi}{6}

So the volume of the solid is \displaystyle\frac{19\pi}{6}

A gas station sells unleades regular petrol and preminum charged by station for regular is$1.299
sergey [27]

Answer:

a. Assuming gallons of unleaded regular is denoted by r; and unleaded premium by p.

Revenue from one gallon of unleaded regular is $1.299 and from unleaded premium is $1.379.

Revenue function = 1.299r + 1.379p

b. Cost of one gallon of unleaded regular is $1.219 and for unleaded premium is $1.289.

Cost function = 1.219r + 1.289p

c. Total profit = Revenue - Cost

= 1.299r + 1.379p - 1.219r - 1.289p

= 1.299r - 1.219r + 1.379p - 1.289p

= 0.08p + 0.09p

d. If station sells 100,000 gallons of unleaded regular and 40,000 of unleaded premium;

= (0.08 * 100,000) + (0.09 * 40,000)

= 8,000 + 3,600

= $11,600
