He should buy 32 feet of fencing. I got 32 by just finding the perimeter or in other words adding 10+10+6+6 which equal 32. You would NOT do area or 10×6 because that would include that land within the fenced area and who wants 60 feet of fencing that you can't put anything in?

Good luck, hope that helped.

Find the quadratic function that has the vertex (4,5) and passes through the point (8,21) If possible, can you explain the work?

Ganezh [65]

Start by looking at the vertex form of a quadratic function, f(x) = a(x - h)^2 + k. The variables h and k are the values of the vertex. Plug those in to get f(x) = a(x - 4)^2 + 5. To find the variable a, plug in the point given for the x and y values. So, you get (21) = a((8) - 4)^2 + 5. Solve for a algebraically, and you get a = 1. Finally, plug everything in and simplify the equation. You should get that the quadratic function is f(x) = x^2 - 8x + 21. Hope this helps!
