Answer: Choice A

If the compass isn't open wide enough, then the arcs won't intersect forming the points we need to create the perpendicular bisector.

Rectangle w/area of 91 has dimensions of (x+2) and (2x+3). Solve for dimensions.
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

5unit

Step-by-step explanation: since area of rectangle = length*width

Here length is (x+2) and width is(2x+3)

(x+2)(2x+3)=91

On further solving

2x^2+75x-85=0

2x^2-10x+17x-85=0

2x(x-5)+17(x-5)=0

(2x+17)(x-5)=0

x=5unit

HELP HELP HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Arrange the functions in ascending order, starting with the function t
san4es73 [151]
If x is squared, that will be biggest by the end because it gets bigger the quickest. x^2 + 4 is always 4 greater than x^2, no matter what the value of x is.

5x+3 is always 3 greater than 5x also.

Besides that, you can rank them based on their slopes (5x < 7x < 8x, etc.)

So,
5x
5x + 3
7x
8x + 3
x^2
x^2 + 4

You can also just say “eventually” means that they’re asking to find the values of each when x is really big. so just choose x=100, and plug that into each one.

So, to check that order:
5(100) = 500
5(100) + 3 = 503
7(100) = 700
8(100) + 3 = 803
(100)^2 = 10,000
(100)^2 + 4 = 10,004

Those are in ascending order, so that must be the right order!
