The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by your question is the second choice or letter B "20".

The current area is 120(80)=9600 and he want to expand it by 4400 so that the new area will be 9600+4400=14000 

14000=(120+x)(80+x) 

14000=9600+200x+x^2 

x^2+200x-4400=0 

x^2-20x+220x-4400=0 

x(x-20)+220(x-20)=0 

(x+220)(x-20)=0, since x is an increase it must be greater than zero so 

x=20ft 

(120+20)(80+20)=14000ft^2


I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly.

The indicated function y1(x) is a solution of the given differential equation. Use reduction of order or formula (5) in Section
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

y2 = C1xe^(4x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that y1 = e^(4x) is a solution to the differential equation

y'' - 8y' + 16y = 0

We want to find the second solution y2 of the equation using the method of reduction of order.

Let

y2 = uy1

Because y2 is a solution to the differential equation, it satisfies

y2'' - 8y2' + 16y2 = 0

y2 = ue^(4x)

y2' = u'e^(4x) + 4ue^(4x)

y2'' = u''e^(4x) + 4u'e^(4x) + 4u'e^(4x) + 16ue^(4x)

= u''e^(4x) + 8u'e^(4x) + 16ue^(4x)

Using these,

y2'' - 8y2' + 16y2 =

[u''e^(4x) + 8u'e^(4x) + 16ue^(4x)] - 8[u'e^(4x) + 4ue^(4x)] + 16ue^(4x) = 0

u''e^(4x) = 0

Let w = u', then w' = u''

w'e^(4x) = 0

w' = 0

Integrating this, we have

w = C1

But w = u'

u' = C1

Integrating again, we have

u = C1x

But y2 = ue^(4x)

y2 = C1xe^(4x)

And this is the second solution

A researcher measures IQ and weight for a group of college students. What kind of correlation is likely to be obtained for these
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

Option b

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a  researcher measures IQ and weight for a group of college students.

In general, we think that the weight has nothing to do with IQ of a person and hence not correlated.

But if we go deep, we find that after a certain weight, the person becomes lazy and inactive with a chance to have reduced IQ

Weight gain causes also health problems including less activity of both brain and body and hence there is a chance for less IQ

So we find that as weight increases iq decreases and when weight decreases, IQ increases.

Thus we can say that there is a negative correlation but not necessarily near to one.

Hence option b is right
