Formula for perimeter of rectangle:
P=2(L+w)
P=2L+2w
Here Perimeter, p= 72 ft
And scale factor of length and width=3.5 which means rectangle is enlarged.
So perimeter of rectangle= 3.5 x 72
P=252ft

Answer: 252 ft

We know the perimeter of the original rectangle is 72ft.
We also know that the perimeter P of the rectangle is defined as:
P=2L+2W.
So P is directly proportional to L+W. This means that if L or W were to get bigger, P will get bigger, and if L or W were to get smaller P will get smaller.

The question also states that both L and W are scaled by the same factor of 3.5 .
This means the sum of the dimensions L+W is scaled by 3.5
It also means that the perimeter is upscaled by 3.5 as it is proportional to L+W.
P = 72 ft × 3.5 = 252 ft.

252 ft is the answer.

F(x)=2x an$ g(x)=2x+3,what is the value of f(g(-8))

Fudgin [204]

First plug in g(x) into f(x)

F((g(x))=2(2x+3)

And now you plug in -8

F(g(-8))=2(-16+3)

F(g(-8))=2(-13)

F(g(-8))=-26

Answer as many as you can please (write in slope-intercept form)

RoseWind [281]

Answer: See below

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first one, we are already given our slope. All we need to do is find the y-intercept, b.

y=-2x+b

6=-2(-3)+b

6=6+b

b=0

The slope-intercept form is y=-2x.

For the second one, we need to first find the slope using $m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$ .

$m=\frac{1-13}{3-(-6)} =\frac{-12}{9}$

Now that we have our slope, we can plug it into our slope-intercept form to solve for b.

$y=-\frac{12}{9} x+b$

$3=-\frac{12}{9}(1)+b$

$-\frac{9}{4} =b$

The slope-intercept form is $y=-\frac{12}{9} -\frac{9}{4}$ .

For the third one, we are already given the slope, so all we have to do is find b.

$y=-\frac{1}{2}x +b$

$-7=-\frac{1}{2} (-4)+b$

$-7=2+b$

$-9=b$

The slope-intercept form is $y=-\frac{1}{2} x-9$ .

For the last one, we need to first find the slope using $m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$ .

$m=\frac{-8-2}{3-1}=\frac{-10}{2} =-5$

Now that we have our slope, we can plug it into our slope-intercept form and find b.

$y=-5x+b$

$2=-5(1)+b$

$2=-5+b$

$7=b$

Our slope-intercept form is $y=-5x+7$ .

Divide. simplify your answer (2x^4-6x^3+4x^2-3x)*(2x)

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

$x^3-3x^2+2x-\frac{3}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can divide polynomials by other polynomials by dividing each term by the denominator. Remember, when we divide a variable by itself, we must change the exponent in our answer according to exponent rules.

$\frac{ (2x^4-6x^3+4x^2-3x)}{2x}=\frac{2x^4}{2x} -\frac{6x^3}{2x} +\frac{4x^2}{2x} -\frac{3x}{2x} =x^3-3x^2+2x-\frac{3}{2}$
