Area of rectangular board = length (inches) x width (inches) = 12" x 16" = 192 in²

Area of the border is given as 128 in²

Adding the area of the board and the border gives (192 + 128)in² = 320 in²

Set this up as the algebraic equation (x + 12)(x + 16) = 320 and solve for x:

Remember to use the FOIL method, which is multiplying the terms in the order of first, outer, inner, last.

x² + 12x + 16x + 192 = 320

x² + 28x + 192 - 320 = 0

x² + 28x - 128 = 0

solve for the two x values:

(x + 32)(x - 4) = 0, and knowing we only need the positive x value

x = 4 or 4 inches is the width of the border

Write a translation rule that maps point D(7, −3) onto point D'(2, 5).
12345 [234]

Answer:

The translation rule is described by D'(x,y) =(x-5,y+8).

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Linear Algebra, a translation consists in sum a given vector (original point in this case) with another vector (translation vector). We can define translation as follows:

D'(x,y) = D(x,y) +U(x,y) (Eq. 1)

Where:

D(x,y) - Original vector with respect to origin, dimensionless.

D'(x,y) - Translated vector with respect to origin, dimensionless.

U(x,y) - Translation vector with respect to original vector, dimensionless.

From (Eq. 1) we get that translation vector is:

U(x,y) = D'(x,y)-D(x,y)

If we know that D(x,y) = (7,-3) and D'(x,y) =(2,5), then the translation vector is:

U(x,y) = (2,5)-(7,-3)

U(x,y) = (-5,8)

And we find the translation rule by assuming that D(x,y) = (x,y) and U(x,y) = (-5,8) in (Eq. 1):

D'(x,y) = (x,y)+(-5,8)

D'(x,y) =(x-5,y+8)

The translation rule is described by D'(x,y) =(x-5,y+8).
