You want to put a 5 inch thick layer of topsoil for a new 28 ft by 14 ft garden. The dirt store sells by the cubic yards. How many cubic yards will you need to order? The store only sells increments of 1/4 cubic yards.

SOLUTION -

Let’s convert first the unit dimension of the garden from inches-feet to yards.

HEIGHT: 4 in * (1 ft / 12 in) = 1/3 ft * (1 yard/3 ft) = 1/9 yard

WIDTH: 28 ft * (1 yard/3 ft) = 28/3 yards

LENGTH: 32 ft * (1 yard/3 ft) = 32/3 yards

Then, let’s get the total soil capacity or volume of the garden:

(32/3) * (28/3) * (1/9) = 896/81 = 11.06 cubic yards

Since we can’t buy 0.06 cubic yard of soil, we need to round off 11.06 to the next number of cubic yards that is exactly divisible by 1/4.

It will give us then with 11 & 1/4 cubic yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

let's add {f(x)=x+1}f(x)=x+1 and {g(x)=2x}g(x)=2x together to make a new function.

f(x)+g(x) =(x+1)+(2x)=x+1+2x=3x+1

let's call this new function hh. so we have:

{h(x)}={f(x)}+{g(x)}{=3x+1}h(x)=f(x)+g(x)=3x+1

we can also evaluate combined functions for particular inputs. let's evaluate function hh above for x=2x=2. below are two ways of doing this.

method 1: substitute x=2x=2 into the combined function hh.

h(x)

h(2)

​    

=3x+1

=3(2)+1

=7

​ since h(x)=f(x)+g(x)h(x)=f(x)+g(x), we can also find h(2)h(2) by finding f(2) +g(2)f(2)+g(2).

first, let's find f(2)f(2):

f(x)

f(2)

​    

=x+1

=2+1

=3

​  

now, let's find g(2)g(2):

g(x)

g(2)

​    

=2x

=2⋅2

=4

​  

so f(2)+g(2)=3+4=\greend7f(2)+g(2)=3+4=7.

notice that substituting x =2x=2 directly into function hh and finding f(2) + g(2)f(2)+g(2) gave us the same answer!

i believe its "c" because all of the other options include a but it could be d because there is a way of financing with cash at certain places but its uncommon.
