Answer:

<u>Width = 7 inches</u>

<u>Length = 23 inches</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

  • length = 2x + 9
  • width = x

Equating to area :

  • (2x + 9)(x) = 161
  • 2x² + 9x = 161
  • 2x² + 9x - 161 = 0
  • 2x² - 14x + 23x - 161 = 0
  • 2x(x - 7) + 23(x - 7) = 0
  • x - 7 = 0
  • x = 7

Dimensions are :

  • <u>Width = 7 inches</u>
  • Length = 2(7) + 9
  • <u>Length = 23 inches</u>

Answer:

Length: 23 inches

Width: 7 inches

Explanation:

  • Width: w
  • Length: 2w + 9
<h3>Area of rectangle: Length × Width</h3>
  • (2w + 9) × (w) = 161
  • 2w² + 9w - 161 = 0
  • 2w² + 23w - 14w -161 = 0
  • w(2w + 23) -7(2w +23) = 0
  • w = 7, -11.5

As <u>length measure cannot be negative</u>. Width is +7 inches

Length: 2w + 9 = 2(7) + 9 = 14 + 9 = 23

Find the domain of y=2/3x-1 if the range is {-3, -1, 7, 17}.
White raven [17]
<h3>Answer: The domain is {-3, 0, 12, 27}</h3>

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

Explanation:

First solve for x to get

y = (2/3)x - 1

y+1 = (2/3)x

(2/3)x = y+1

x = (3/2)*(y+1)

-------

Now plug the values given into y. Do so one at a time. Lets plug in y = -3

x = (3/2)*(y+1)

x = (3/2)*(-3+1)

x = 1.5*(-2)

x = -3

So the domain value x = -3 corresponds to the range value y = -3.

-------

Repeat for y = -1

x = (3/2)*(y+1)

x = (3/2)*(-1+1)

x = 1.5*0

x = 0

The domain value x = 0 corresponds to the range value y = -1

-------

Repeat for y = 7

x = (3/2)*(y+1)

x = (3/2)*(7+1)

x = 1.5*8

x = 12

The domain value x = 12 corresponds to the range value y = 7

-------

Repeat for y = 17

x = (3/2)*(y+1)

x = (3/2)*(17+1)

x = 1.5*18

x = 27

The domain value x = 27 corresponds to the range value y = 17

Find the distance between the points (-3, 9) and (6,-5). Round the answer to the nearest tenth.
inna [77]

Answer:

D. 16.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we are given with two coordinates and asked to determine the distance between them.

Here we are going to use the distance formula, which is given as under

D=\sqrt{(y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2-x_1)^2}

Where

(x_1,y_1) = (-3,9)

(x_2,y_2) = (6,-5)

Replacing these values in the distance formula

D =\sqrt{(-3-6)^2+(9-(-5))^2}

D =\sqrt{(-9)^2+(9+5)^2}

D =\sqrt{(-9)^2+(14)^2}

D =\sqrt{81+196}

D =\sqrt{277}

D= 16.6433

Hence the Distance is 16.60 units
