The town swimming pool is d feet deep. \n" ); document.write( " The width of the pool is 10 feet greater than 5 times the depth. \n" ); document.write( "w = 5d+10 \n" ); document.write( " The length of the pool is 25 feet greater than the width. \n" ); document.write( "L = w + 25 \n" ); document.write( "Replace w with (5d+10) \n" ); document.write( "L = (5d+10) + 25 \n" ); document.write( "L = 5d + 35 \n" ); document.write( "; \n" ); document.write( "A.Write and simplify an expression to represent the volume of the pool. \n" ); document.write( "Volume = L*w*d \n" ); document.write( "replace L and w \n" ); document.write( "V = (5d+35)*(5d+10)* d \n" ); document.write( "V = (25d^2 + 50d + 175d + 350)* d \n" ); document.write( "V = (25d^2 + 225d + 350)*d \n" ); document.write( "Factor out 25 and you have \n" ); document.write( "V = 25d(d^2 + 9d + 14) \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "B. If the pool holds 51,000 ft3 of water, what are the dimensions of the pool? \n" ); document.write( "25d(d^2 + 9d + 14) = 51000 \n" ); document.write( "divide both sides by 25 \n" ); document.write( "d(d^2 + 9d + 14) = 2040 \n" ); document.write( "the equation \n" ); document.write( "d^3 + 9d^2 + 14d - 2040 = 0 \n" ); document.write( "Using the Ti83, I got d = 10 ft is the depth \n" ); document.write( "then \n" ); document.write( "5(10) + 10 = 60 ft is the width \n" ); document.write( "and \n" ); document.write( "5(10) + 35 = 85 ft is length \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "; \n" ); document.write( "Check this, find the vol using these values; 85 * 60 * 10 = 51000 \n" ); document.write( " |
