Step-by-step explanation:

length = width + 4

length×width = 77

using the first in the second equation

(width + 4)×width = 77

width² + 4width = 77

now, what square or squaring factors can create this ?

we are looking for (width + a)(width + b).

we know, this is

width² + (a+b)width + ab

so, what a, b can create 4 (the factor in our actual equation) ?

1, 3 and 2, 2, if we are only looking at whole numbers.

and which of the possibilities can we use to turn 77 into a square number ?

81 is only 4 away ...

2+2 = 4.

aha !

so, we can actually say our equation is

width² + 4width + 4 = 77 + 4

and then

(width + 2)² = 81

width + 2 = 9

width = 7 m

length = width + 4 = 7 + 4 = 11 m

<h3>Answer: Distance between x intercepts is 1 unit.</h3>

======================================================

Explanation:

Let's find the x intercept of f(x). Replace f(x) with 0 and solve for x

f(x) = -2x+2

0 = -2x+2

2x = 2

x = 2/2

x = 1

Plugging x = 1 into f(x) leads to f(x) = 0. The x intercept of f(x) is 1.

-----------------------

Now onto g(x). If we were given a row that had y = 0, then we'd immediately find the x intercept. However, that isn't given, so we'll have to do a bit of work to find the equation for g(x).

First we need the slope. Pick any two rows to find the slope. I'll pick the middle two rows.

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (3-6)/(1-0)

m = -3/1

m = -3 is the slope

The y intercept is b = 6 as the table shows this pairs with x = 0. The y intercept always happens when x = 0.

So with m = -3 and b = 6, we see that g(x) = -3x+6.

-------------------------

Plug in g(x) = 0 and solve for x. We'll use similar ideas done in the first section at the very top

g(x) = -3x+6

0 = -3x+6

3x = 6

x = 6/3

x = 2 is the x intercept of g(x)

--------------------------

In summary, we found...

  • x = 1 is the y intercept of f(x)
  • x = 2 is the y intercept of g(x)

Subtract the x intercept values to get 2-1 = 1, which is the distance between the x intercepts. The distance is never negative.

Use the table to describe the locations of the zeros of the quadratic function $f$ .
MissTica

Answer:

The zeros are between -4 and -3, and between 0 and 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to location of the zeros

As we can know, at the zeros of a quadratic function, the y value at those point is zero

So whenever we have y value being zero, we have it that the x value at that point is a zero or root of the quadratic function

Now, looking at the table, we can see that between the point x = -4 and -3; y moved from -2 to 2

For this movement to occur, we must have passed through 0 as we have -1 ,0 and 1 between the numbers as -2 and 2

So obviously, the root is between -4 and -3

Secondly as we can see, f(x) moved from 2 to -2

The numbers between here are 1 , 0 and -1

So definitely the root lies between the x values of 0 and 1

C = 2b + 4 ( b - 3 ) if b = 7 what is C ?
Yuki888 [10]
C is 30 because first you replace b for 7.
C=2(7)+ 4(7-3)
after that you would subtract 7 and 3 .
C= 2(7) + 4(4)
next, you multiply the sides
c= 14+ 16
after adding the remaining numbers together, you get the answer of 30 as C
