i need help with c and the rest

OpenStudy (jekdidkdjrjrjjr):

@mathstudent55

OpenStudy (jekdidkdjrjrjjr):

@Mehek14

OpenStudy (jekdidkdjrjrjjr):

okay so d?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Part c. The length of the garden is 3x + 2, where x is the length of the patch. Now we are told the length of the patch is 7 ft. Use 7 for x, and evaluate 3x + 2. \(L_G(x) = 3x + 2\) \(L_G(\color{red}{7}) = 3 \times \color{red}{7} + 2\)

OpenStudy (jekdidkdjrjrjjr):

Here are questions e-h

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

What do you get for the length of the garden?

OpenStudy (jekdidkdjrjrjjr):

what u just wrote

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

You need a number. I wrote the expression that you need to calculate.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

What is 3 * 7 + 2?

OpenStudy (jekdidkdjrjrjjr):

23?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Good. That is the length of the garden. Now we need the width of the garden. the width is x + 5. Since x is 7, what is 7 + 5?

OpenStudy (jekdidkdjrjrjjr):

12

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Yes. Now multiply 23 and 12 to find the answer to part c. That is the area of the vegetable garden when the tomato patch is 7 ft by 7 ft.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Ok, now part d.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Part d. The tomato patch measures x by x. The length of the bell pepper patch is half the length of the tomato patch. The length is half of x. How do you write half of x as an expression? (Hint: use a fraction.)

OpenStudy (jekdidkdjrjrjjr):

x/2

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

When you need half, you divide by 2. Use a fraction with denominator 2 to mean divided by 2, or half.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Correct.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

The length of the bell pepper patch is x/2.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Now we need its width.

OpenStudy (jekdidkdjrjrjjr):

k

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Sorry. We just did the width of the bell pepper patch. The width is x/2. Now we need to do the length.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

The length of the bell pepper patch must exceed the length of the tomato patch by 2 ft.

OpenStudy (jekdidkdjrjrjjr):

okay

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

When you deal with "exceed", you need an inequality. The length of the bell pepper patch must be 2 ft or more greater than the length of the tomato patch.

OpenStudy (jekdidkdjrjrjjr):

k

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

The tomato patch has length x The bell pepper patch must have length x + 2 or more.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

\(W_B(x) = \dfrac{x}{2} \) \(L_B(x) \ge x + 2\)

OpenStudy (jekdidkdjrjrjjr):

okay what about questions e - h

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Wait.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

The problem states "exceed by 2 ft", not "exceed by at least 2 ft." For get the inequality. This is the corrected length of the bell pepper patch. \(L_G(x) = x + 2\)

OpenStudy (jekdidkdjrjrjjr):

k

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Once again, here is the correct answer to part d. \(W_G(x) = \dfrac{x}{2} \) \(L_G(x) = x + 2\)

OpenStudy (jekdidkdjrjrjjr):

yeah i got that

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

I only see up to part d in the figure.

OpenStudy (jekdidkdjrjrjjr):

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

e. is the area of the bell pepper patch. Multiply its length by its width. What do you get?

OpenStudy (jekdidkdjrjrjjr):

@mathstudent55 what is it?????

OpenStudy (jekdidkdjrjrjjr):

idk

OpenStudy (jekdidkdjrjrjjr):

@mathstudent55 pls help i rly need to finish this

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

We did part d above. You have the length and the width. Just multiply them together to find the area.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

\(A_B(x) = \dfrac{x}{2}(x + 2) \)

OpenStudy (jekdidkdjrjrjjr):

ok what about f

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

For f: The area of the tomato patch is x * x = x^2. Add that to the answer of part e.

OpenStudy (jekdidkdjrjrjjr):

ok g?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Part f. \(A_{TB} = x^2 + \dfrac{x}{2} (x + 2) \)

OpenStudy (jekdidkdjrjrjjr):

okok

OpenStudy (jekdidkdjrjrjjr):

g?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

The remaining area is the area of the vegetable garden minus the combined area of the tomato patch and the bell pepper patch. Subtract the answer of part f. from the answer of part b.

OpenStudy (jekdidkdjrjrjjr):

ok what is the correct answer?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

\(A_R(x) = (x + 5)(3x + 2) - [x^2 + \dfrac{x}{2}(x + 2)] \)

OpenStudy (jekdidkdjrjrjjr):

k just h left!

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

For h you need to solve a quadratic equation.

OpenStudy (jekdidkdjrjrjjr):

how do i do that

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

\(A_B(x) = \dfrac{x}{2}(x + 2)\) That area has to equal 31.5 ft^2. \(\dfrac{x}{2}(x + 2) =31.5\) Multiply both sides by 2: \(x(x + 2) = 63\) Multiply out the left side, and subtract 63 from both sides. \(x^2 + 2x - 63 = 0\) In order to factor the left side, we need 2 numbers that add to -2 and multiply to -63. They are -9 and 7. \(x - 9)(x + 7) = 0\) \(x = 9\) or \(x = -7\) A length can;t be negative, so we discard -9. The length id the tomato patch is 9 ft. Now we use 9 ft for x in the remainder area function above. \(A_R(x) = (x + 5)(3x + 2) - [x^2 + \dfrac{x}{2}(x + 2)]\) \(A_R(9) = (9 + 5)(3\times 9 + 2) - [9^2 + \dfrac{9}{2}(9 + 2)]\) Now you need to evaluate the expression on the right side.

OpenStudy (jekdidkdjrjrjjr):

wut is that

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

I don't know, and I have to go. Just do all the operations, and find and answer. Remember to follow the order of operations.
