Answer:

105 = (w+8) *w

w = 7 cm

l = 15 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle is

A = l*w

l = w+8

105 = (w+8) *w

Distribute

105 = w^2 +8w

Subtract 105 from each side

105-105 = w^2 +8w -105

0 =w^2 +8w -105

Factor

What 2 number multiply to 105 and add to 8

15*-7 = -105

15-7 = 8

(w+15) (w-7) =0

Using the zero product property

w+15 =0               w-7 =0

w=-15                      w=7

impossible

not negative

w =7

l = 15

Answer:

Width: w

Length: w + 8

w(w + 8) = 105

w² + 8w - 105 = 0

w² + 15w - 7w - 105 = 0

w(w + 15) - 7(w + 15) = 0

(w + 15)(w - 7) = 0

w = -15, 7

width = 7cm

length = 7+8 = 15cm

Suppose f(x)=x^2 and g(x) =7x^2 which statement best compares the graph of g(x) with the graph f(x)
Verizon [17]

Answer:

The graph g(x) is the graph f(x) vertically stretched by a factor of 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Quadratic Equation: f(x) = a(bx - h)² + k

Since we are modifying the variable <em>a</em>, we are dealing with vertical stretch (a > 1) or vertical shrink (a < 1). Since a > 1 (7 > 1), we are dealing with a vertical stretch by a factor of 7.

Hi student, let me help you out! :)

We are asked to evaluate \pmb{|98|}.

\triangle~\fbox{\bf{KEY:}}

  • The notation |x| denotes absolute value.

The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero.

Absolute value is always positive; distances can't be negative, right?

So we need to find the absolute value of 98, which is:

\star~\star\mathrm{98}~\star~\star

\ddot\bigstar Remember this...

\fbox{The\;absolute\;value\;is\;a\;number's\;distance\;from\;zero}

Hope it helps you out! :D

Ask in comments if any queries arise.

The hexagonal prism has a an equation of volume = base * height.

Since we already know the base is 8 sq feet, we can plug in some values and use x as a missing value

40 = 8 * x
Divide by 8
5 = x

X is equal to 5.
