The dimensions of the rectangle are: b=9.65 cm and h=4.35 cm or b=4.35 cm and h= 9.65 cm.

<h3>Quadrilaterals</h3>

There are different types of quadrilaterals, for example, square, rectangle, rhombus, trapezoid, and parallelogram.  Each type is defined accordingly to its length of sides and angles. For example, in a rectangle,  the opposite sides are equal and parallel and their interior angles are equal to 90°.

The area of a rectangle is equal to base x height (A=bh). The perimeter of a geometric figure is the sum of its sides. Thus, for a rectangle, the perimeter is 2b+2h.

<h3>System of Linear Equations</h3>

System of linear equations is the given term math for two or more equations with the same variables. The solution of these equations represents the point at which the lines intersect.

The question gives:

Perimeter=28cm

Area= 42 cm²

If the perimeter is the sum of all sides of the rectangle, you have:

Perimeter= 2b+2h=28

If the area of the rectangle is 42cm², you have:

Area=bh=42 cm²

You can write a system of linear equations.

2b+2h=28 (1)

bh=42 (2)

From equation 2, you have  b=\frac{42}{h}. Then, you can replace it in equation 1.

2*\frac{42}{h}+2h=28 \\ \\ 84+2h^2=28h\\ \\ 2h^2-28h+84=0 \; dividing\; by\; 2\\ \\ h^2-14h+42=0

Now, you should solve the quadratic equation.

h_{1,\:2}=\frac{-\left(-14\right)\pm \sqrt{\left(-14\right)^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \:42}}{2\cdot \:1}

h_{1,\:2}=\frac{-\left(-14\right)\pm \:2\sqrt{7}}{2\cdot \:1}

h_1=\frac{-\left(-14\right)+2\sqrt{7}}{2\cdot \:1}=7+\sqrt{7}=9.65 cm

h_2=\frac{-\left(-14\right)-2\sqrt{7}}{2\cdot \:1}=7-\sqrt{7}=4.35cm

If h1=9.65 cm, then b_1=\frac{42}{9.65} =4.35 cm, and if  h2=4.35 cm, then b_1=\frac{42}{4.35} =9.65 cm.

So what s the meaning for X and Y
gregori [183]

The first x is the horizontal coodinate (abscisa) and second is the vertical coordinate (ordenate). Both are coordinates. (x,y) has the meaning of a complex number: x is the real part and y is the imaginary part: x+yi. (x,y) has the meaning of a plane's vector from origin of coordinates.

How does the multiplicity of a zero determine the behavior of the graph at that zero?
grin007 [14]
If the graph crosses the x-axis and appears almost linear at the intercept, it is a single zero. If the graph touches the x-axis and bounces off of the axis, it is a zero with even multiplicity. If the graph crosses the x-axis at a zero, it is a zero with odd multiplicity. The sum of the multiplicities is the degree
