144=(x+7)^2  take the square root of both sides...

12=x+7  subtract 7 from both sides...

x=5

So the original was a 5m square.

...

255=WL and you are told that W=L+2 so the equation becomes:

255=(L+2)L

255=L^2+2L

L^2+2L-255=0

L^2+17L-15L-255=0

L(L+17)-15(L+17)=0

(L-15)(L+17)=0  Since L>0...

L=15yd, and since W=L+2, W=17yd so

length=15, width=17yd

What is the expression of g(x) when we perform the following sequence of transformations onto the parent function fx=x2:
astraxan [27]

The expression of function g(x) is (\frac x2 - 1)^2

<h3>How to determine the expression?</h3>

The function is given as:

f(x) = x^2

When the function is shifted right by 1 unit, the rule is:

f'(x) = f(x - 1)

So, we have:

f(x) = (x - 1)^2

When the function is compressed horizontally by a factor of 2, the rule is:

f'(x) = f(x/2)

So, we have:

g(x) = (\frac x2 - 1)^2

Hence, the expression of function g(x) is (\frac x2 - 1)^2

umka21 [38]

Answer:

the  fraction of the sheet of paper does he use is  1  ÷ 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the fraction of the sheet of paper does he use is shown below:

= Piece of construction paper × piece to make a flower

= 1 ÷2 × 1 ÷ 6

= 1  ÷ 12

hence, the  fraction of the sheet of paper does he use is  1  ÷ 12

Show work please :: I forgot how to solve
Vesna [10]
40 pages = 80 minutes
210 pages = ? minutes
Well, take the first fact; 40 pages in 80 minutes and use it to find how many pages per minute.
40/80=1/2
1/2 pages = 1 minute
1 page = 2 minutes
210 pages = ? minutes
210*2=420
420 minutes = 7 hours
210 pages = 7 hours
Hope this helped :)

Solve the equation. -7 = h/5
Maru [420]
-35 = h 
To get rid of fractions you simply multiply the denominator to the whole equation. -7 =h/5 can be -7(5) = (h/5)(5)
