A rectangular field with an area of 5000m^2 is enclosed by 300m of fencing. Find the dimensions of the field? How?

1 answer:

6 0

Area of field=xy=5000
perimeter of field=2(x+y)300
x+y=150
x=150-y
y(150-y)=5000
$y^2-150y+5000=0$
solve it
u get y= 50 or 100
then x=100 or 50
therefore the dimensions are 100m and 50m

Erin feeds her dog 7/10 cup of food a day . With 3/10 cup canned and the rest dry . She also gives her dog 1 treat a day . How m

gavmur [86]

Answer:

$2\frac{4}{5}\ \ or \ 2.8 \ \ cups$

Step-by-step explanation:

-The total portion fed to the dog is 7/10 cup

Canned-3/10
Dry=7/10-3/10=4/10

-One week has 7 days. we multiply the dry portion per day by the number of days in a week.

$Dry= Total -Canned\\\\=\frac{7}{10}-\frac{3}{10}\\\\=0.40 \ cup\\\\Dry \ per \ Week= Dry/ day\times days\\\\=0.40\times 7\\\\=2\frac{4}{5}\ or\ 2.8 \ cups$

Hence, Erin feed her dog 2 4/5 0r 2.8 cups of dry food

How state the roots as points when I have <br> x=6 and x=-2

dem82 [27]

I don't really know what you're trying to ask because

x = -2 and x=6 are your roots.

But if you want to convert them back to their equation form,

get the other side of the equation to be 0.

x = 6

x - 6 = 0

x = -2

x + 2 = 0

so your original equation had something like (x+2)(x-6)

If a new college graduate wants a car costing $21,000, how much must be saved annually over the next four years if the funds ear

fgiga [73]

I'm assuming the funds earn 5% yearly?

Call x the amount he saves every year. The first year's deposit will be multiplied by 1.05 three times, the next will be multiplied by 1.05 twice, the third will be multiplied by 1.05 once, and the fourth will not generate interest (as it will immediately be used to buy the car).

Therefore, x(1.05^3+1.05^2+1.05+1)=21000, so 4.31x=21000. Dividing by 4.31, we see that x is approximately equal to 4872.
