Melissa wants to make a table representing the area of her vegetable garden for a variety of different lengths of the tomato patch. She uses her area expression to create the table. Complete the table by typing the correct answer in each box. Use numerals instead of words. Do not round your decimal answers. equation : 3x^2 + 10x Length of Tomato Patch Area of Vegetable Garden

x, 338
6.5, x
x, 147.25
7 x

1) when tomato patch is 6.5 feet the area is 191.75 sq.ft

2)  when tomato patch is 7 feet the area is 217 sq.ft

3) when area is 338 sq.ft the tomato patch is 9.0778 feet

4) when area is 147.25 sq.ft the tomato patch is 5.543799 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is  :

3x^2 + 10x

Length of Tomato (in feet)                                       x,  6.5   ,  x   ,     7

Patch Area of Vegetable Garden (in square feet) 338, x , 147.25, x

So we can find the missing terms with the help of the equation 3x^2 + 10x

Putting the values of x from the length of the tomato patch

1)  3x^2 + 10x= 3(6.5)²+ 10 (6.5)=126.75+ 65= 191.75 square feet

2) 3x^2 + 10x= 3(7)² +10 (7)= 147+70= 217 square feet

So the area of  her vegetable garden for a variety of  lengths of the tomato patch= 6.5 feet is 191.75  square feet

and for 7 feet is 217 square feet

Similarly we can find the length of the tomato patch from the area by again using the given equation  3x^2 + 10x

So when area = 338 square feet

The equation becomes  

3x^2 + 10x= 338

Rearranging it :     3x^2 + 10x-338 =0

This is a quadratic equation and can be solved with the help of the formula.

Here a= 3, b= 10 and c= -338

x = -b±√b²- 4ac/2a

Putting the values of a,b,c we get

x= -10±√100+ 4056/6

x= -10± 64.467/6

x= 54.467/6 or -74.467/6   we ignore the negative value because the garden cannot have the negative area.

x= 9.0778 feet

Similarly repeating the same process would give

So when area = 147.25 square feet

The equation becomes  

3x^2 + 10x= 147.25

Rearranging it :     3x^2 + 10x-147.25 =0

This is a quadratic equation and can be solved with the help of the formula.

Here a= 3, b= 10 and c= - 147.25

x = -b±√b²- 4ac/2a

Putting the values of a,b,c we get

x= -10±√100+ 1767/6

x= -10± 43.208/6

x= 33.208/6 or -53.208/6  we ignore the negative value because the garden cannot have the negative area.

x= 5.543799 feet
