A = l × w. Substitute 72 into A and fill in the rest of the equation.
w = l - 1. Plug l - 1 into w
72 = l × (l - 1). Multiply l by (l - 1)
72 = l^2 - l. Subtract 72 from each side.
0 = l^2 - l - 72. Factor.
0 = (l + 8) (l - 9). Set each term equal to zero.
(l + 8) = 0. Subtract 8 from each side.
l = -8. Length cant be a negative number so let's try the other term.
(l - 9) = 0. Add 9 to each side.
l = 9. The length is 9.
Earlier we stated that the width is one less than the length, therefore, the width is 9 - 1 = 8.
The width is 8 units.
3b - 7u -5
Add them together and put them in alphabetical order.
Answer:
<em>f( g ( - 2 ) ) = - 14 </em>
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = - 2x + 4
g(x) = 3x² - x - 5
f( g ( - 2 ) ) = ?
g( - 2 ) = 3( - 2 )² - ( - 2 ) - 5 = 12 + 2 - 5 = 9
f(9) = - 2 × 9 + 4 = - 14
<em>f( g ( - 2 ) ) = - 14</em>
It is Irrational because is can not be written as a fraction
