The product of 379 and 8 is 3,032.
It's between (any number less than 3,032) and (any number greater than 3,032).
I guess if this is an <em>estimation </em>exercise, you could say that it's between
(8 x 300) and (8 x 400), or 2,400 and 3,200.
6x-4>8-2x
Add 2x on each side
8x-4>8
8x>12
x>12/8
x>3/2
The answer is B
The first thing we are going to do is rewrite the expression correctly.
We have:
root (27x ^ 12 / 300x ^ 8)
Rewriting:
root ((27/300) * (x ^ 12 / x ^ 8))
root ((9/100) * (x ^ (12-8)))
root ((9/100) * (x ^ (4)))
root ((9/100) * (x ^ (4)))
3 * x ^ 2 * root ((1/100)
(3 * x ^ 2) / 10
(3/10) * (x ^ 2)
Answer:
(3/10) * (x ^ 2)
Let the side of the garden alone (without walkway) be x.
Then the area of the garden alone is x^2.
The walkway is made up as follows:
1) four rectangles of width 2 feet and length x, and
2) four squares, each of area 2^2 square feet.
The total walkway area is thus x^2 + 4(2^2) + 4(x*2).
We want to find the dimensions of the garden. To do this, we need to find the value of x.
Let's sum up the garden dimensions and the walkway dimensions:
x^2 + 4(2^2) + 4(x*2) = 196 sq ft
x^2 + 16 + 8x = 196 sq ft
x^2 + 8x - 180 = 0
(x-10(x+18) = 0
x=10 or x=-18. We must discard x=-18, since the side length can't be negative. We are left with x = 10 feet.
The garden dimensions are (10 feet)^2, or 100 square feet.
