A rectangle has a perimeter of 18 inches. a new rectangle is formed by doubling the with W in tripling the length L as shown the
1 answer:
a) The dimensions of original rectangle are length= 5 and width= 4.
b) The dimensions of new rectangle are length= 15 and width=8.
<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:
- length of a rectangle = l
- width of a rectangle = w
- Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l+w)
<u>Original rectangle</u> :
18 = 2(l+w)
18 = 2l + 2w ---------(1)
<u>New rectangle</u> :
46 = 2(3l+2w)
46 = 6l + 4w ---------(2)
<u>Solving the equations</u> :
Multiply (1) by 2 and subtract (2) from (1)
4l + 4w = 36
-(<u>6l + 4w = 46</u>)
<u>-2l = -10</u>
l = 10/2
length = 5 inches.
Substitute l=5 in (1)
18 = 2(5)+2w
18 = 10+2w
2w = 8
w = 8/2
width = 4 inches.
length of new rectangle = 3(l) = 35 = 15 inches.
width of new rectangle = 2(w) = 24 = 8 inches.

Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
To complete the table, start by copying the given function.
f(x) = |-2x + 4|
Now let's start with the first line of the table: x = 6.
You are finding the value of function f when x = 6.
Replace x with 6 and evaluate the expression.
f(6) = |-2(6) + 4|
f(6) = |-12 + 4|
f(6) = |-8|
f(6) = 8
Second line of table:
x = -1
f(x) = |-2x + 4|
f(-1) = |-2(-1) + 4|
f(-1) = |2 + 4|
f(-1) = |6|
f(-1) = 6
For the third and fourth lines, you are given a y value, or the value of function f, and you are looking for x. Now you use the given value to set the function equal to, and you solve for x.
Line 3: f(x) = 4
f(x) = |-2x + 4|
|-2x + 4| = 4
-2x + 4 = 4 or -2x + 4 = -4
-2x = 0 or -2x = -8
x = 0 or x = 4
Line 4: f(x) = 14
f(x) = |-2x + 4|
|-2x + 4| = 14
-2x + 4 = 14 or -2x + 4 = -14
-2x = 10 or -2x = -18
x = -5 or x = 9
The table looks like this:
x f(x)
6 8
-1 6
0,4 4
-5, 9 14
