Patrick has just finished building a pen for his new dog. The pen is 3 feet wider than it is long. He also built a doghouse to p

zalisa [80]

General Idea:

(i) Assign variable for the unknown that we need to find

(ii) Sketch a diagram to help us visualize the problem

(iii) Write the mathematical equation representing the description given.

(iv) Solve the equation by substitution method. Solving means finding the values of the variables which will make both the equation TRUE

Applying the concept:

Given: x represents the length of the pen and y represents the area of the doghouse

<u>Statement 1: </u>"The pen is 3 feet wider than it is long"

$Length \; of\; the \; pen = x\\ Width \; of\; the\; pen=x+3$

------

<u>Statement 2: "He also built a doghouse to put in the pen which has a perimeter that is equal to the area of its base"</u>

$Area \; of\; the\; Dog \; house=y\\ Perimeter \; of\; Dog\; house=y$

------

<u>Statement 3: "After putting the doghouse in the pen, he calculates that the dog will have 178 square feet of space to run around inside the pen."</u>

$Area \; of \; the\; Pen - Area \;of \;the\;Dog \;House=\;Space\;inside\;Pen\\ \\ x \cdot (x+3)-y=178\\ Distributing \;x\;in\;the\;left\;side\;of\;the\;equation\\ \\ x^2+3x-y=178\Rightarrow\; 1^{st}\; Equation\\$

------

<u>Statement 4: "The perimeter of the pen is 3 times greater than the perimeter of the doghouse."</u>

$Perimeter\; of\; the\; Pen=3\; \cdot \; Perimeter\; of\; the\; Dog\; House\\ \\ 2(x \; + \; x+3)=3 \cdot y\\ Combine\; like\; terms\; inside\; the\; parenthesis\\ \\ 2(2x+3)=3y\\ Distribute\; 2\; in\; the\; left\; side\; of\; the\; equation\\ \\ 4x+6=3y\\ Subtract \; 6\; and \; 3y\; on\; both\; sides\; of\; the\; equation\\ \\ 4x+6-3y-6=3y-3y-6\\ Combine\; like\; terms\\ \\ 4x-3y=-6 \Rightarrow \; \; 2^{nd}\; Equation\\$

Conclusion:

The systems of equations that can be used to determine the length and width of the pen and the area of the doghouse is given in Option B.

$178=x^2+3x-y\\ \\ -6=4x-3y$

A tunnel is in the shape of a parabola. The maximum height is 16 m and it is 16 m wide at the base, as shown below.

NeX [460]

Vertex at the origin and opening down → y=ax^2
Width: w=16
x=w/2→x=16/2→x=8
x=8, y=-16→y=ax^2→-16=a(8)^2→-16=a(64)→-16/64=a(64)/64→-1/4=a→a=-1/4

y=ax^2→y=-(1/4)x^2

7 m from the edge of the tunnel → x=w/2-7=8 m-7 m→x=1 m
x=1→y=-(1/4)x^2=-(1/4)(1)^2=-(1/4)(1)→y=-1/4

Vertical clearance: 16-1/4=16-0.25→Vertical clearance=15.75 m

Please, see the attached file.

Answer: Third option 15.75 m

To raise money to attend Boy Scout camp Alec is selling popcorn.?small bags of popcorn sell for $4 each and large bag sale for $

kati45 [8]

Let small bags of popcorn be represented by = x

Let large bags be represented by = y

Price of small bag = $4

Price of large bag = $6

A minimum of $300 is required to attend the camp so

$4x+6y\leq300$ .............(1)

Also given is that a badge is earned if Alec sells 60 bags

So, equation is

$x+y=60$ ............(2)

Using the side-splitter theorem, which segment length would complete the proportion?

tia_tia [17]

we know that

<u>The Side-Splitter Theorem</u>: States that If a line is parallel to one side of a triangle and intersects the other two sides, then it divides those two sides proportionally

so

in this problem

$\frac{GH}{HE} =\frac{GJ}{JF}$

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

The segment length is GJ
