A rancher has a square cow pen with side length x. He decides to change the shape

of the pen while still using the same amount of fencing materials. The equation

(x + 10)(x - 10) = 300 represents the relationship of the new side lengths (in feet)

of the pen and its area (in square feet).

a. If 300 represents the area of the new cow pen, what do the expressions

(x + 10) and (x - 10) each represent?

b. Find x, the original side length (in feet) of the square pen. Show your reasoning.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) x+ 10 is the length of the ranch

x - 10 is the width of the ranch

b) 20 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the square ranch = L²

L is the side length of the ranch

If the equation

(x + 10)(x - 10) = 300 represents the relationship of the new side lengths (in feet)

Then we can find x where;

x + 10 is the new length of the ranch

x - 10 is the new width of the ranch

Open the parenthesis

equation

(x + 10)(x - 10) = 300

x²²-10x + 10x - 100 = 300

x² - 100 = 300

x² = 300+100

x² = 400

x = √400

x = 20

Hence the original length of the square pen is 20 feet

Answer 2

The values (x + 10) and (x - 10) represents the length and width of the new pen.

The value of x, the original length of the pen is 20 cm

How to find the side of a square?

The pen is a square. It was later reconstructed to form the following expression.

(x + 10)(x - 10) = 300

where

area = 300  feet squared

Therefore,

(x + 10)(x - 10) = 300

x² - 10x + 10x - 100 = 300

x² - 100 = 300

x² = 300 + 100

x² = 400

x = √400

x = 20 ft

Therefore, the original side length of the square pen is 20 ft.

Example 3.7.4: The sum of two positive numbers is 16. What is the smallest possible value of the sum of their squares

Answers

Answer:

The smallest possible value of the sum of their squares is 128.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number = x

let the the second number = y

x +  y = 16

y = 16 -x

minimum value, f = x² + y²

f(x) = x² + (16-x)²

f(x) = x² + 256 - 32x + x²

f(x) = 2x² - 32x + 256

f(x)' = 4x - 32

4x - 32 = 0

4x = 32

x = 32 / 4

x = 8

The absolute minimum value of x = 8

y = 16 - x

y = 8

The smallest possible value of the sum of their squares is given by x² + y²;

=  (8)² + (8)²

= 128

Therefore, the smallest possible value of the sum of their squares is 128.

How many oz. of a metal containing 40%
gold must be combined with 7 oz. of a
metal containing 90% gold to form an
alloy containing 75% gold?

Answers

Answer:

3 oz

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of oz. of the medal with 40% gold:

Set up an equation and solve for x:

0.4x + 7(0.9) = 0.75(x + 7)

0.4x + 6.3 = 0.75x + 5.25

6.3 = 0.35x + 5.25

1.05 = 0.35x

3 = x

So, you will need 3 oz. of the metal with 40% gold

2) f(x) = 27x^6+ 1524x^3+125

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x^3 = y

f(x) = 27(x^3)^2 + 1524(x^3) + 125

f(x) = 27 y^2 + 1524y + 125

You can now put this into the quadratic formula. When you do, you get

(y + 0.0821)(y+56.3623) = 0

So now you substitute x^3 into this

(x^3 + 0.0821)(x^3 + 56.3623)

x^3 + 0.0821 = 0

x^3 = - 0.0821

cuberoot x^3 = cube root 0.0821

x = - 0.4346

x^3 = - 56.3623

x = - 3.8341

A motorboat moves across a lake. It begins at 50km from shore after 9 minutes it is 14 km from shore. What’s it’s distance from shore in a function

Answers

Answer:

List all of the solutions.

50 k m =

9 m i n u t e s =

14 k m =

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

y = -4x + 50

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the function we'll use y = mx + b, where y is the distance the boat is away from shore, m is how many km/minute the boat moves at, x is how many minutes it's been, and b is how many km away from shore the boat was at the start. We already know the value of b is 50, so we can put that into the equation:

y = mx + 50

To find how many km the boat moves per minute, let's use the given amount of minutes and km (9, 14) and put them into the equation:

14 = m(9) + 50

Now let's solve for m:

14 = 9m + 50

Subtract 50 from both sides to isolate the 9m:

14 - 50 = 9m + 50 - 50

- 36 = 9m

divide both sides by 9 to isolate the m:

-36/9 = 9m/9

-4 = m

The boat moves at -4 km/minute, which is the same thing as saying that  after 1 minute passes, the boat gets 4km closer to the shore. Now we can input this value into the equation and we have our answer:

y = -4x + 50

Step-by-step explanation:

2x² - 3x - 12 = 0

Using the quadratic formula which is

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

From the question

a = 2 , b = - 3 , c = - 12

So we have

[tex]x = \frac{ - - 3\pm \sqrt{ ({ - 3})^{2} - 4(2)( - 12)} }{2(2)} \\ = \frac{3\pm \sqrt{9 + 96} }{4} \\ = \frac{3\pm \sqrt{105} }{4} \: \: \: \: \: \: [/tex]

Jane has 34 candles leftover from the last craft show and Brianna

has 2 candles. They are making more candles for the next show.

Jane makes 24 candles per hour and Brianna makes 32 candles per

hour. They are also going to use the candles left over from the last

show and want to have the same number of candles at their stalls for

this show. Let h represent the number of hours they need to work

for this.

Answers

Answer:

4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the number of leftover candles for Jane = 34

and  the number of leftover candles for Brianna = 2

Rate of candle making for Jane = 24 candles/ hour

Rate of candle making for Jane = 32 candles/ hour

As they work for h hours to make candles.

So, in h hours, the number of new candles made by Jane = 24h candles

For Jane, the total number of candles after h houres, including the leftover candles [tex]= 24h+34 \cdots(i)[/tex]

Similarly, in h hours, the number of new candles made by Brianna = 32h candles

For Brianna, the total number of candles after h houres, including the leftover candles [tex]= 32h+2 \cdots(ii).[/tex]

As they want to have the same number of candles at their stalls, so equating the numbers of candles from equations (i) and (ii), we have

[tex]24h+34=32h+2 \\\\\Rightarrow 32h-24h=34-2 \\\\\Rightarrow 8h=32\\\\[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow h=32/8=4[/tex] hours.

Hence, both need to work for 4 hours to have the same number of candles.
