A piece of cardboard has the dimensions (x + 15) inches by (x) inches with the area of 60 in 2 . Write the quadratic equation that represents this and show your work. Then find the possible value(s) for x, and find the actual dimensions of the postcard.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]x^2 + 15x - 60 = 0[/tex]

The actual dimension is 18.28 by 3.28

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Dimension:

[tex](x + 15)\ by\ x[/tex]

[tex]Area = 60in^2[/tex]

Required

Determine the quadratic equation and get the possible values of x

Solving (a): Quadratic Equation.

The cardboard is rectangular in shape.

Hence, Area is calculated as thus:

[tex]Area = Length * Width[/tex]

[tex]60= (x + 15) * x[/tex]

Open Bracket

[tex]60= x^2 + 15x[/tex]

Subtract 60 from both sides

[tex]x^2 + 15x - 60 = 0[/tex]

Hence, the above represents the quadratic equation

Solving (b): The actual dimension

First, we need to solve for x

This can be solved using quadratic formula:

[tex]x = \frac{-b \± \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

Where

[tex]a = 1[/tex]

[tex]b = 15[/tex]

[tex]c = -60[/tex]

So:

[tex]x = \frac{-b \± \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{-15 \± \sqrt{15^2 - 4*1*-60}}{2*1}[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{-15 \± \sqrt{225 + 240}}{2}[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{-15 \± \sqrt{465}}{2}[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{-15 \± \21.56}{2}[/tex]

Split:

[tex]x = \frac{-15 + 21.56}{2}[/tex] or [tex]x = \frac{-15 - 21.56}{2}[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{6.56}{2}[/tex] or [tex]x = \frac{-36.36}{2}[/tex]

[tex]x = 3.28[/tex] or [tex]x = -18.18[/tex]

But length can't be negative;

So:

[tex]x = 3.28[/tex]

The actual dimensions: [tex](x + 15)\ by\ x[/tex] is

[tex]Length =3.28 +15[/tex]

[tex]Length =18.28[/tex]

[tex]Width = x[/tex]

[tex]Width =3.28[/tex]

The actual dimension is 18.28 by 3.28

a. When x= -1, what is the value of y?
b. When y= 7, what is the value of x?
c. What is the y-intercept of the graph?
d. What is the x-intercept of the graph?
e. What is the slope of the line?
f. What is the equation of the line?

Answers

Answer:

When x=-1, y=3; when y=7, x=1; the y-intercept is 5; the x-intercept is 2.5; the slope is 2; the lines' equation is y=2x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

The first two answers can be easily interpreted by looking at the graph. For the next two, remember, the x-intercept is the point where the line touches the x-axis and the y-intercept is the point where the line touches the y-axis. For question e, the slope can be calculated by plugging the two coordinates from the first two questions, (-1,3) and (1,7), into the formula [tex]\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex] or by using the graph to count the slope. The equation of the line is written in slope-intercept form, y=mx+b. Here, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Plug in these values that you already found while answering the previous questions and you have the answer.

A firecracker is fired straight up into the air out of a window of a building. Its height, in meters, is given by h = − 5 t 2 + 30 t + 20 , where t is the time, in seconds, the fircracker has been in the air.

Answers

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the equation for the firecracker is h = − 5 t^2 + 30 t + 20

It is impossible to solve this question unless the height (h) in meters is supplied. If the height was supplied, we could set up the quadratic equation and solve it yielding two values for the time. The values of t obtained is the time in seconds required for the firecracker to reach the given height h.

You can apply these tips and solve the question seamlessly.

Mr. Win owns a toy store. He wants to display 12 new motion toys in the store window. Each toy uses 3 batteries. If N represents the total number of batteries he needs, which sentence is correct?

Answers

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

You didn't state the sentences but let me help out based on the information given.

Number of new motion toys = 12

Number of batteries used by each toy = 3

Since N represents the total number of batteries he need, the value of N will be:

= Number of toys × Number of batteries used by each toy

= 12 × 3

= 36

That means N equals 36.

The Coyotes pay their aging kicker $725,000 a year. He agrees to a 15% pay cut. What is his new salary?

Answers

Given:

Coyotes pay their aging kicker $725,000 a year.

He agrees to a 15% pay cut.

To find:

His new salary.

Solution:

Annual salary before pay cut = $725,000

Annual salary after pay cut = [tex]725,000-\dfrac{15}{100}\times 725,000[/tex]

                                             [tex]=725,000-15\times 7250[/tex]

                                             [tex]=725,000-108,750[/tex]

                                             [tex]=616,250[/tex]

So, monthly new income is

[tex]\dfrac{616,250}{12}\approx 51354.167[/tex]

Therefore, his new salary is $51,354.167 per month.

Answer:

616,250

Step-by-step explanation:

15 percent of 752,000 is 108,750.

752,000 minus 108,750 is 616,250.

if a polygon is translated, which of the following characteristics of the polygon are the same?
A side length
B area
C the coordinates of the vertices.

Answers

the following characteristic of the polygon that are the same are A SIDE LENGTH AND B AREA

Translation is a rigid transformation.

The characteristics that will remain the same are: (a) side length and (b) area

When a polygon is translated, the polygon undergoes a rigid transformation.

A rigid transformation does not change the side length and angle of a shape.

The side lengths of the polygon would remain unchanged.Since the side lengths are not altered, then the area of the polygon will also remain unchanged.

However, the coordinates would change; because the polygon would change its position after translation.

Hence, the correct options are:

(a) and (b)

Evaluate the expression when c= -6.
c^2+ 7c+8

Answers

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Substitute c with -6... so the equation would be -6^2 + 7(-6) + 8

2. Simplify... so -6^2 is 36 because when you square something you times it by itself and two negatives multiplied together equals a positive so -6*-6=36 then 7*-6 is -42 because a positive multiplied by a negative is always a negative

3. So now you have 36 + -42 + 8 or 36 - 42 +8 because an when adding a negative it’s basically just like subtracting because they cancel out

4. So when you simplify it’s simply it’s simply 2 because 36-42 is -6 added by 8 is 2

Sorry if this was confusing I’m really bad at explain gm but hope this helps :)

Hey there!

c^2 + 7c + 8

= -6^2 + 7(-6) + 8

= -36 - 42 + 8

= -78 + 8

= -70


Therefore, your answer is: -70
