Answer:

Farmer Anne's land = 173 acres

Farmer Cassius = 519 acres

Farmer Mel = 1,557 acres

Step-by-step explanation:

Total acre = 2,249

Let

Farmer Anne's land = x

Farmer Cassius = 3x

Farmer Mel = 3(3x) = 9x

x + 3x + 9x = 2,249

13x = 2,249

x = 173

Farmer Anne's land = x = 173 acres

Farmer Cassius = 3x

= 3(173)

= 519 acres

Farmer Mel = 3(3x) = 9x

= 9(173)

= 1,557 acres

Therefore,

Farmer Anne's land = 173 acres

Farmer Cassius = 519 acres

Farmer Mel = 1,557 acres

What are the solutions of the equation (2x + 3)2 + 8(2x + 3) + 11 = 0? Use u substitution and the quadratic formula to solve.
zvonat [6]

Answer:

x=-2.38

x=-4.62


Step-by-step explanation:

The question is  (2x+3)^2+8(2x+3)+11=0

<em>We let u=2x+3, so the equation becomes:</em>

u^2+8u+11=0

Where a=1, b=8, c=11


Putting it in the quadratic formula, we have:

<u>Quadratic formula:</u> \frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}

Substituting we have: \frac{-8+-\sqrt{(8)^2-4(1)(11)} }{2(1)}\\=\frac{-8+-\sqrt{20} }{2}\\=\frac{-8+-2\sqrt{5} }{2}\\=-4+\sqrt{5}, -4-\sqrt{5} }


<em>We let u=2x+3, so x is:</em>

<em>u=2x+3\\(-4+\sqrt{5})=2x+3\\x=\frac{-7+\sqrt{5}}{2}=-2.38</em>

<em>and</em>

<em>u=2x+3\\(-4-\sqrt{5})=2x+3\\x=\frac{-7-\sqrt{5}}{2}=-4.62</em>


The solutions of the equation is x=-2.38 (rounded to 2 decimal places), and x=-4.62 (rounded to 2 decimal places)

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

perimeter of circle=2πr

16=2πr

r=16/2π=8/πcm

now.

area of circle=πr²=π(8/π)²=π×64/π²=64/(22/7)=64×7/22=20.36cm²

By visual inspection determine the best-fitting regression model for the data plot below
Pie

Answer:

Exponential

Step-by-step explanation:

By visual inspection the graph generated by the points plotted is an exponential graph as the graph curves upward. The graph is also continous and differs from either a decreasing or increasing Linear graph, which shows a straight best of fit pattern. Hence, the graph most closely represents an exponential graph from visual examination.
