The area of a rectangular garden in square feet can be represented by z² - 10z +21. The length is z - 7 feet. You have been hired to fertilize the
garden. Recall that the area of the garden is z² - 10z +21. If z = 20 and the fertilizer costs $0.27 per square foot, how much it cost to fertilize
the garden?
Answer:
$ 59.67
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a rectangular garden in square feet can be represented by z² - 10z +21 square feet
If z = 20
Therefore:
The area of the rectangular garden is:
20² - 10 × 20 + 21
400 - 200 + 21
= 221 square feet
The fertilizer costs $0.27 per square foot, how much it cost to fertilize
the garden?
The cost of fertilize the garden is calculated as:
1 square feet = $0.27
221 square feet = x
Cross Multiply
221 square feet × $0.27
=$ 59.67
