Suppose that a family wants to increase the size of the garden which is currently 16 feet long and 8 feet wide without changing the basic shape of the garden. That is, the family wants to ensure that the length of the garden remains twice the width (see figure).

1. Write an equation for the area of the new garden.
2. Write an equation that calculates how much more area the new garden will have as compared to the current garden. Simplify the equation into a quadratic equation in standard form.
3. Using the equation from Exercise 2, determine what effect increasing the width of the garden by two feet will have on the length of the garden and the total area of the garden.
4. Using the equation from Exercise 2 and factoring, determine how much the width of the garden will need to be increased in order for the garden area to be 160 square feet larger than its original area.
5. Using the equation from Exercise 2 and factoring, determine how much the width of the garden will need to be increased in order for the garden area to be four times its original area.

Suppose That A Family Wants To Increase The Size Of The Garden Which Is Currently 16 Feet Long And 8

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Sides of the garden

16 feet and 8 feet

New dimensions of the garden

16 + 2x and 8 + x

1. The area of the new garden

(16 + 2x)(8 + x) = 2x^2 + 32x + 128

2. The difference in area

2x^2 + 32x + 128 - 16*8 = 2x^2 + 32x

3. x= 2 effect on the area

2*2^2 + 32*2 = 8 + 64 =72 ft²

4. Area difference = 160

2x^2 + 32x = 160x^2 + 16x - 80 = 0Solving we get positive root of 4 ft

5. Area difference = 4 times

2x^2 + 32x = 128*32x^2 + 32x - 384 = 0x^2 + 16x - 192= 0Solving we get positive root of 8 ft

in the expression of (x + 1)^n, the coefficient of the x^3 term is two times the coefficient of the x^2 term. Find the value of n.

Answers

According to Khayyam-Pascal triangle ,

the value of n is 8.

[tex] look \: \\ \\ {(x + 1)}^{8} = {x}^{8} + 8 {x}^{7} + 28 {x}^{6} + 56 {x}^{5} + 70 {x}^{4} + 56 {x}^{3} + 28 {x}^{2} + 8x + 1 \\ \frac{56}{28} = 2 [/tex]

Recall the binomial theorem:

[tex](a+b)^n=\displaystyle\sum_{k=0}^n\binom nk a^k b^{n-k}[/tex]

where

[tex]\dbinom nk=\dfrac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}[/tex]

is the binomial coefficient. So

[tex](x+1)^n=\displaystyle\sum_{k=0}^n\binom nk x^k[/tex]

The x² term occurs for k = 2, which has coefficient

[tex]\dbinom n2=\dfrac{n!}{2!(n-2)!}=\dfrac{n(n-1)}2[/tex]

The x³ occurs for k = 3, with coefficient

[tex]\dbinom n3=\dfrac{n!}{3!(n-3)!}=\dfrac{n(n-1)(n-2)}6[/tex]

The latter coefficient is twice the other one, so that

[tex]\dfrac{n(n-1)(n-2)}6=2\cdot\dfrac{n(n-1)}2[/tex]

Solve for n :

[tex]\dfrac{n(n-1)(n-2)}6=n(n-1)[/tex]

[tex]n(n-1)(n-2)=6n(n-1)[/tex]

[tex]n-2=6[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

They sold 60 muffins and 60 cookies yesterday

It is a LCM problem

Step-by-step explanation:

6 muffins together

20 cookies together

To sell the same amount of muffins and cookies,

Find the lowest common multiple of 6 muffins and 20 cookies

6 muffins = 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60, 66, 72, 78

20 cookies = 40, 60, 80

The lowest common multiple of 6 muffins and 20 cookies is 60

Therefore,

They sold 60 muffins and 60 cookies yesterday

It is a LCM problem

Answer:

Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.

x = − 38

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

−38

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−(6x+8)=4(17−x)

−6x+−8=(4)(17)+(4)(−x)(Distribute)

−6x+−8=68+−4x

−6x−8=−4x+68

Step 2: Add 4x to both sides.

−6x−8+4x=−4x+68+4x

−2x−8=68

Step 3: Add 8 to both sides.

−2x−8+8=68+8

−2x=76

Step 4: Divide both sides by -2.

−2x−2=76−2

x=−38

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve for k.

m=−8j−9k+9

Step 1: Flip the equation.

−8j−9k+9=m

Step 2: Add 8j to both sides.

−8j−9k+9+8j=m+8j

−9k+9=8j+m

Step 3: Add -9 to both sides.

−9k+9+−9=8j+m+−9

−9k=8j+m−9

Step 4: Divide both sides by -9.

-9k/-9= 8j+m-9/-9

Noah receives a $5 discount each month on his cell phone bill because he signed up for a auto pay from his bank account. Over the last 8 months ,Noah has paid a total of $280 for his cell phone bill. What would Noah be charged for his cell phone bill each month if he stopped using auto-pay?

Answers

$40 per month

You could do this two ways:

Divide 280 by the 8 months to get the original charge per month including the discount, which would be $35 per month. He would've been charged an additional $5 for every month, so add 5 to the 35 to get $40 per month.

He would've been charged an additional $5 for every month, so multiply 5 by 8 to get 40, then add that to 280 to get 320. That's how much he would've paid without the discount over 8 months. Divide that by the 8 months, and you get $40 per month.

For what values of [tex]x[/tex] is the product [tex](x+5)(x-1)[/tex] positive? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]x<-5\text{ or } x>1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have:

[tex](x+5)(x-1)[/tex]

And we want to find the value of x such that the expression is positive. So, we can write this as the following inequality:

[tex](x+5)(x-1)>0[/tex]

Solve for the inequality. First, we can solve for the zeros like a normal quadratic. So, pretend the inequality is with an equal sign:

[tex](x+5)(x-1)=0[/tex]

Zero Product Property:

[tex]x+5=0\text{ or } x-1=0[/tex]

On the left, subtract 5.

On the right, add 1.

So, our zeros are:

[tex]x=-5, 1[/tex]

Since our inequality is a greater than, our answer is an "or" inequality with our answer being all the values to the left of our lesser zero and all the values to the right of our greater zero.

So, our solution is:

[tex]x<-5\text{ or } x>1[/tex]

And we're done!

Answer:

The regions where (x+5) (x-1) >0 is x< -5  or x>1

Step-by-step explanation:

(x+5) (x-1) >0

First find the zeros

(x+5) =0    x-1 =0

x= -5      x=1

We then have to check the regions

x< -5              -5 <x<1                  x>1

First x< -5

(x+5) (x-1)

X+5 will be negative  ( x-1) will be negative

(-) * (-) = +  so the values will be positive

Then     -5 <x<1      

X+5  will be positive   ( x-1) will be negative

( +) * (-)  will be negative

First x>1

(x+5) (x-1)

X+5 will be positive  ( x-1) will be positive

(+) * (+) = +  so the values will be positive

The regions where (x+5) (x-1) >0 is x< -5  or x>1
