The width of the pool is 10 feet.

<h3>What is area of rectangle?</h3>

The area of rectangle is product of length and breadth.

Let the width be x.

length = 24 + 2x. and breadth =  12 + 2x

We know, area= 1408 ft².

(12 + 2x)(24 + 2x) = 1408

12*24 + 12*2x + 24*2x + (2x)² = 1408

288 + 72x + 4x² = 1408

4x² + 72x + 288 - 1408 = 0

4x² + 72x - 1120 = 0

x² + 18x - 280 = 0

x² - 10x + 28x - 280 = 0

x(x - 10) + 28(x - 10) = 0

(x - 10)(x + 28) = 0

So, x=10, -28.

Hence, the width be 10 feet.

Use a graphing calculator to approximate the vertex of the graph of the parabola defined by the following
gregori [183]

Answer:

  (1/4, 5 7/8)

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex is the extreme point of the graph. Here, it is a minimum.

For this quadratic function, a graphing calculator can tell you exactly what the vertex is. (No approximation is required.)

Consider the following equation
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

The perpendicular line is:

y = 1/3  x + 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation can be reduced to its slope-intercept form as shown below:

3x + 9y = 8y - 2

subtract 8 y from both sides

3 x + y = -2

subtract 3 x from both sides

y = - 3 x -2

therefore we know that the slope of this line is -3, and then, a perpendicular line to it must have slope given by the "opposite of the reciprocal" of this slope. That is, the slope of any perpendicular line to this one must be: 1/3

We use this slope to find the equation of the line passing through the point (13. 5)

y = 1/3 x + b

passing through (13, 5) means:

5 = 1/3 (13) + b

therefore, we can find b from the above equation

b = 5 - 13/3 = 15/3 - 13/3 = 2/3

Then the equation of this perpendicular line is:

y = 1/3  x + 2/3
