Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let x,y be the sides of court.

2(x+y)=90

x+y=90/2=45

y=45-x

xy=500

x(45-x)=500

45x-x²=500

x²-45x+500=0

x²-25x-20x+500=0

x(x-25)-20(x-25)=0

(x-25)(x-20)=0

x=25,20

when x=25

y=45-x=45-25=20

when x=20

y=45-20=25

sides are 25 ft,20 ft.

Answer:

20 by 25 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

A = L·w

P = 2L + 2w

500 = Lw

90 = 2L + 2w

we could solve the first equation for 'w' and then substitute that value into the second equation:

w = 500/L

90 = 2L + 2(500/L)

90 = 2L + 1000/L

90 = (2L² + 1000)/L

multiply each side by L to eliminate it as the denominator

90L = 2L² + 1000

2L² - 90L + 1000

the zeros of this quadratic are 20 and 25

A = 20 x 25 which equals 500

P = 2(20) + 2(25) which equals 90

Brad has $12 more than John. Together they have $84

ludmilkaskok [199]

Hello,

John : n

Brad : n + 12

n + n + 12 = 84

2n + 12 = 84

2n = 84 - 12

2n = 72

n = 72/2

n = 36

John $36 and Brad $36 + $12 = $48

In slope-intercept form, what is the equation of the line containing the points (−1, 2) and (2, −1)?

kvv77 [185]

Y2 - y1 over x2 - x1 = slope
2 - (-1) = 3
-1 - 2 = -3
the slope is 3/-3, or -1
y = -x
2 = 1 + 1
The equation of the line is y = -x + 1

In a triangle, two sides that measure 8 centimeters and 11 centimeters form an angle that measures 82°. to the nearest tenth of

Gwar [14]

We can use the Сosine formula to solve this problem.
<span>First we must find the third side (АС) of the triangle:
</span>
$AC^2=AB^2+BC^2-2*AB*BC*cos82^o \\ AC^2=8^2+11^2-2*8*11*0.1392 \\ AC^2=64+121-24.4992= 160.508 \\ AC= \sqrt{160.508} \approx 12.67 \ cm$
<span>
The smallest angle of the triangle lies opposite the smallest side, so we need to find m</span>∠C.

$cosC= \frac{AC^2+BC^2-AB^2}{2*AC*BC} \\ \\ cosC= \frac{12.67^2+11^2-8^2}{2*12.67*11}= \frac{160.53+121-64}{278.74} = \frac{217.53}{278.74} \approx 0.7804$

Now we can use Bradis's Table (I don't know the name in English, maybe Trigonometric Table?) to find m∠C:

m∠С = 38°42' = 38.7°

Answer: 38.7°

Quadratics: Writing Vertex Form, Algebra 1- Mrs. Daniel, Kuta Software

Oliga [24]

Vertex form is given by:
y=a(x-h)^2+k
where the vertex is (h,k)
7. (h,k)=(-4,1)
plugging in the equation we get:
y=a(x+4)^2+1
but substituting (0,2) in the equation and solving for a we get:
2=a(0+4)^2+1
a=1/16
hence:
Answer: y=1/16(x+4)^2+1

8]
(h,k)=(2,-4)
thus
y=a(x-2)^2-4
plugging point (3,0) in the eqn and solving for a we get
0=a(3-2)^2-4
0=a-4
a=4
hence;
Answer: y=a(x-2)^2-4

9] (h,k)=(3,3)
thus;
y=a(x-3)^2+3
plugging (2,2) in the equation we get:
2=a(-1)^2+3
a=-1
thus;
Answer: y=-1(x-3)^2+3

10] (h,k)=(-1,-1)
y=a(x+1)^2-1
plugging (0,-3) in the equation and solving for a we get:
-3=a(1)^2-1
a=-2
thus
Answer: y=-2(x+1)^2-1

11] (h,k)=(1,2)
y=a(x-1)^2+2
plugging (0,4) in the equation and solving for a we get:
4=a(-1)^2+2
a=2
thus
y=2(x-1)^2+2

12] (h,k)=(3,-2)
y=a(x-3)^2-2
plugging (2,0) and solving for a we get:
0=a(2-3)^2-2
a=2
thus
t=2(x-3)^2-2
