Answer:

5 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

If the smallest rectangle has a length of 8 meters, and a perimeter of 24 meters then its width is given by:

24 = 2*8+2*W_1\\W_1= 4\ meters

We can conclude that the width is half of the length for both rectangles. Therefore, the width of the larger rectangle, with a perimeter of 30 meters, is:

30 = 2*W_2+2*L_2\\30 = 2*W_2+4*W_2\\W_2=5\ meters

The width of the original rectangle is 5 meters.

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the scale factor

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its perimeters is equal to the scale factor

Let

z -----> the scale factor

P1 -----> the perimeter of the reduced rectangle on the right

P2 ----> the perimeter of the original rectangle on the left

substitute

step 2

Find the width of the reduced rectangle on the right

substitute the given values.

Find the width of the original rectangle on the left.

To find the width of the original rectangle on the left, divide the width of the reduced rectangle on the right by the scale factor.

In the xy-plane, the line x + y=k, where k is a constant, is tangent to the graph of y=x^2+3x+1. What is the value of k?
Talja [164]
Slope of tangent line = dy/dx = 2x+3
k is y_intercept of tangent line

2x+3 = -1
x = -2
y = (-2)^2+3(-2)+1 = -1

tangent line passes through point (-2,-1)

k = x+y

k = -2 -1

k = -3

Let f(x)=−3x. The graph of f(x) ​is transformed into the graph of g(x) by a vertical stretch of 4 units and a translation of 4 u
Naily [24]
So the equation for these types of equations is f(x) = a(x-h)+k with h being a horizontal translation, a being a stretch/compression and k being a vertical translation. So here if you want a stretch of 4 a would be four, g(x)=4(-3x-h)+k. Also, there is a horizontal translation so it would be positive 4 into the equation. Since there is no change in the y-axis there is no vertical translation resulting in g(x) = 4(-3x-4)
