Answer:

9 and 11

Step-by-step explanation:

First number = x -2

Second number = x

A farmer has 180 yards of fencing material to make a rectangular

dlinn [17]

Answer: 60 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

Here: subdivided into 3 smaller pens (2w + w + w) extra widths for separation purposes (3 smaller pens)

180 yards of fencing material

180yd = 2L + 4w

180dy = 2*60 + 4w

60dy = 4w

w = 15yd, how wide can the rectangle can be with L = 60yd

What is the inverse of f(x)=(x+6)2 for x≥–6 where function g is the inverse of function f? g(x)=x√−6, x≥0 g(x)=x−6−−−−√, x≥6 g(x

avanturin [10]

Answer:

$g(x)=\sqrt{x}-6$ , x>=0

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(x)=(x+6)^2$

To find the inverse function , replace f(x) by y

$y=(x+6)^2$

Replace x with y and y with x

$x=(y+6)^2$

Solve the equation for y

take square root on both sides

$+\sqrt{x} =y+6$

Now subtract 6 from both sides

$+\sqrt{x}-6=y$

replace y with g(x)

$g(x)=\sqrt{x}-6$
