8/5 = 20/x
8x = 20(5)
8x = 100
x = 12.5

Length is 20

ratio is 8:5

20:?=8:5
20/?=8/5
times both sides by 5?
100=8?
divide both sides by 8
25/2=?
12.5=?

the shorter side is 12.5ft

The graph of the function f(x) = –(x + 6)(x + 2) is shown below. On a coordinate plane, a parabola opens down. It goes through (
seropon [69]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = –(x + 6)(x + 2)

The function is increasing until it reaches the vertex, so it will increase until x=-4.  The function will decrease after the vertex, so after x = -4

increasing: -∞ < x < -4

decreasing : -4 < x < ∞

Find all solutions of the equation sin^2 x=2sinx+3
Mashutka [201]
\sin^2x=2\sin x+3
\sin^2x-2\sin x-3=0
(\sin x-3)(\sin x+1)=0

which means either \sin x=3 or \sin x=-1. The equation has no solution, since \sin x is always bounded between -1 and 1. The second has one solution at x=-\dfrac\pi2, and any number of complete revolutions will also satisfy this equation, so in general the solution would be -\dfrac\pi2+2k\pi where k is any integer.

So you could choose A=-\dfrac\pi2 and B=2.
