To determine the perimeter of the rectangular flower garden, we need to know the measurement of the sides of the rectangle so we have to know the length and the width. The given measurements are the area, and the relation of the width and the length. From these, we generate equations to calculate the width and the length. We do as follows:
Area = Length x Width
where length = x ft
width = x - 4 ft
area = 32 ft^2
32 = x (x -4)
32 = x^2 - 4x
Solving for the positive value of x,
x = 8 ft = length
width = x -4 = 8 - 4 = 4 ft
Perimeter = 2(length) + 2(width) = 2(8) + 2(4) = 24 ft
Answer:
Exponential functions are patterns that get continuously multiplied by some number. It's exponential growth when the base of our exponential is bigger than 1, which means those numbers get bigger. It's exponential decay when the base of our exponential is in between 1 and 0 and those numbers get smaller.
