A farmer plants beets in a square garden with side lengths of 12 2/3 feet. He plants squash in a garden with a perimeter of 50 1/2 feet. Which garden has a greater perimeter?

Given that,

The side length of a square garden

A farmer plants squash in a garden with a perimeter of 50 1/2 feet = 50.5 feet

To find,

Which garden has a greater perimeter.

Solution,

The area of a square is given by :

A = 4s, s is side of square

A farmer plants beets, the perimeter is :

Hence, the square garden with side lengths 12 2/3 feet will have more perimeter.

Population decay where rate of decay is proportional to the population present

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Here N (t) represents the population or amount of bacteria present at time t.

N0 represents the initial population or N(0)

Since e has negative exponent, there is population decay and not expansion.

l, the coefficient of t in the exponent of e is the factor which represents the rate of decay

Whenever decay is proportional to the population present at that time, we get this equation.

N'=-lN

Separate the variables and integrate to get
