Agarden area is 30 ft long and 20 ft wide. a path of uniform width is set inside the edge. if the remaining garden is 400ft^2, what is the width of the path?

2.19 ft ( approx )

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the width ( in ft ) of the path,

Given,

The dimension of the garden area,

Length = 30 ft, width = 20 ft,

So, the dimension of the remaining garden ( garden excluded path ),

Length = (30 - 2x) ft, width = (20-2x) ft

Thus, the area of the remaining garden,

A=(30 - 2x)(20 - 2x)

According to the question,

A = 400 ft²,

By the quadratic formula,

⇒ x ≈ 22.8  or x ≈ 2.19,

∵ Width of the path can not exceed 30 ft or 20 ft

Hence, the width of the path is approximately 2.19 ft.

step-by-step explanation:

(f - g)(x) = 5x^3 - 3

step-by-step explanation:

rearrange these functions vertically, with like terms in separate columns:

f(x) = 5x^3 - 2

g(x) =         +1

now subtract, column by column:

(f - g)(x) = 5x^3 - 3
