A farmer has a 100 ft by 200 ft rectangular field that he wants to increase by 15.5% by cultivating a strip of uniform width around the current field. How wide of a strip should he cultivate around the edge of his field to do this? The strip around the outside is _ feet wide

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) The strip should be 5ft wide

(b) The strip around the outside field is 10ft wide.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of the rectangular field, L= 200 ft

width of the rectangular field, w = 100 ft

Area of the rectangular field, A = 200ft x 100ft = 20000 ft^2

let the width of the strip = x

The strip around the outside field = 2x

If the field is increased by 15.5%

New area of the field = 1.155 x 20000 = 23,100 ft^2

The increase in area of the field = 3,100 ft

3,100 = New area of field - old area of the field

3100 = (200 + 2x)(100 + 2x) - 20000

3100 = 20000 + 400x 200x + 4x^2 - 20000

3100 = 600x + 4x^2

Divide through by 4

775 = 150x + x^2

x^2 + 150x - 775 = 0

Factorize

(x + 155)(x-5) = 0

x = 5 ft

The strip should be 5ft wide.

The strip around the outside field = 2 x 5 ft = 10 ft

Thus, the strip around the outside field is 10ft wide.

[tex]BC=\sqrt{12^2-7^2}[/tex]

What is the image of (9,-5) after a dilation with the scale factor of 2.5?
O (23, 12)
O (22.5, -12.5)
O (-22.5, 12.5)
O (18, 12)

Answers

Answer:

(B) (22.5, -12.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

When the point [tex](9,-5)[/tex] is dilated by with a scale factor of 2.5

In a dilation, when its scale factor is less than 1, the pre-image will be lesser than the image.

However, when the scale factor is greater than 1, the pre-image will be greater than the image.

The Image of the dilation of [tex](9,-5)[/tex] with a scale factor of 2.5 is therefore:

[tex](9*2.5,-5*2,5)\\=(22.5, -12.5)[/tex]

The correct option is B.

5n +10d = 220

Then solve to get 5d= 90, then d= 18.

Find all geometric sequences such that the sum of the first two terms is 24 and the sum of the first three terms is 26.

Answers

Answer:

The nth term Tn = -8(-1/4)^(n-1) or Tn = 6(1/3)^(n-1) can be used to find all geometric sequences

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first three terms be a/r, a, ar... where a is the first term and r is the common ratio of the geometric sequence.

If the sum of the first two term is 24, then a/r + a = 24...(1)

and the sum of the first three terms is 26.. then a/r+a+ar = 26...(2)

Substtituting equation 1 into 2 we have;

24+ar = 26

ar = 2

a = 2/r ...(3)

Substituting a = 2/r into equation 1 will give;

(2/r))/r+2/r = 24

2/r²+2/r = 24

(2+2r)/r² = 24

2+2r = 24r²

1+r = 12r²

12r²-r-1 = 0

12r²-4r+3r -1 = 0

4r(3r-1)+1(3r-1) = 0

(4r+1)(3r-1) = 0

r = -1/4 0r 1/3

Since a= 2/r then a = 2/(-1/4)or  a = 2/(1/3)

a = -8 or 6

All the geometric sequence can be found by simply knowing the formula for heir nth term. nth term of  a geometric sequence is expressed as

if r = -1/4 and a = -8

Tn = -8(-1/4)^(n-1)

if r = 1/3 and a = 6

Tn = 6(1/3)^(n-1)

The nth term of the sequence above can be used to find all the geometric sequence where n is the number of terms

Simplify (x^4y)^3.

x^4y^3
x^7y^3

Answers

Answer: Choice A,  x^12y^3

=========================================================

Explanation:

Think of x^4y as x^4y^1. When we raise this to the third power, we multiply the outer exponent 3 by each inner exponent

x^4 turns into x^12

y^1 turns into y^3

-----------

This is one way to show your work

(x^4y)^3

(x^4y^1)^3

x^(4*3)*y^(1*3) ... multiplying outer exponent by each inner exponent

x^12y^3

-----------

A more lengthy way to get the answer is to write x^4y out three times multiplying by itself that many times. The outer exponent 3 tells us we will have three copies of x^4y multiplied with itself.

(x^4y)^3 = (x^4y)*(x^4y)*(x^4y)

(x^4y)^3 = (x^4*x^4*x^4)*(y*y*y)

(x^4y)^3 = ( x^(4+4+4) ) * ( y^(1+1+1) )

(x^4y)^3 = x^12y^3
