The dimensions of the border is 1.5 feet for the garden

A rectangle is a quadrilateral with four sides and four angles in which opposite sides are equal and parallel.

The area of a rectangle = Length * breadth

Given that length of garden = 16 ft., width of garden = 12 ft.

It is surrounded by a mulch of width x, hence:

New length = 16 + x + x = 16 + 2x

New width = 12 + x + x = 12 + 2x

The area of garden = 16 + 2x(12 + 2x) = 192 + 56x + 4x²

Since the maximum area is 285 ft, hence:

192 + 56x + 4x² = 285

4x² + 56x - 93 = 0

x = 1.5 feet

The dimensions of the border is 1.5 feet

Which binomial is a factor of x^2 + 2x - 15

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

(x−5)(x+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

To factorise, we firstly need two brackets, each containing an x.

(x)(x)

This creates the x2 term.

Now we need to get the rest of the terms. To do this, we need two factors of −15 which will add/subtract to give us +2

The two factors that do this are −3 and 5, as −3+5=2

∴(x−3)(x+5)

You can check by expanding it out.

Which exponential function is represented by the values in the table?

svlad2 [7]

Here we use the equation

$y = a(b)^x$

Taking points (0,4), (1,2)

Substituting the point (0,4) , we will get

$4 = a(b)^0
\\
4 = a(1) \\
a =4$

Substituting (1,2) we will get

$2 = 4 (b)^1
\\
2/4 = b
\\
b = 1/2$

So we have

$a = 4, b = 1/2$

Therefore , required equation is

$y = 4(1/2)^x$
