Answer:
Question 1.
Option A: 2m
Question 2
Option D: (1, 1) minimum point
Step-by-step explanation:
Question 1.
Let the original length of the garden (before expansion) be = x
The new length of the garden will be x + 10m
Recall that the garden has a square geometry. That means that its area is obtained by squaring any of its sides.
This means that [tex](x +10)^2 = 144[/tex]
We can now solve for x
[tex](x +10)^2 = 144\\x^2 +20x +100 = 144\\x^2 + 20x =44\\x^2 + 20x - 44=0\\x = 2 or -22[/tex]
x cannot be a negative number, so the original length of a side of the garden is 2m. Option A
Question 2:
The coordinates of the vertex of the graph (turning point) are (x, y) [1,1]
To know whether it is a minimum or maximum point, we will have to check the coefficient of [tex]x^2[/tex] in the equation [tex]y = x^2-2x+2[/tex]
The coefficient of [tex]x^2[/tex] in the equation is 1. (If no number is present, just know that the coefficient is a one).
If the coefficient is positive, then the point is a minimum point. However, if it is negative, then the point is a maximum point.
Our coefficient is positive hence, the graph has a minimum point.
