Answer:
x^2 = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Both 3 and -3 are 9 when squared.
The perimeter of a rectangle is all sides added up, so length + length + width + width.
L = length
W = width
then the perimeter is L+L+W+W, or 2L + 2W, or 2(L+W).

what's the length? well, is just
2(27).

Answer:
-3 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
The quadratic
... y = ax² +bx +c
has its extreme value at
... x = -b/(2a)
Since a = 3 is positive, we know the parabola opens upward and the extreme value is a minimum. (We also know that from the problem statement asking us to find the minimum value.) The value of x at the minimum is -(-4)/(2·3) = 2/3.
To find the minimum value, we need to evaluate the function for x=2/3.
The most straightforward way to do this is to substitue 2/3 for x.
... y = 3(2/3)² -4(2/3) -2 = 3(4/9) -8/3 -2
... y = (4 -8 -6)/3 = -10/3
... y = -3 1/3
