First you would convert it to a fraction. 9/100
Once you do that you divide the numerator, which is 9 by the denominator, which is 100.
Then we get our answer, 0.09
The generic equation for a linear function can be expressed in the slope intercept form f(x) = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept. For this problem we can first find the equation of the line. Then we substitute x = 7 to get the f(x) value, which is n at the point x = 7.
To find the equation of the linear function we first find the slope. Slope is defined as the change in f(x) divided by the change in x. As we are given a linear function, the slope at every point is the same. We can pick any two points known to find the slope.
Let's pick (3, 7) and (9, 16). The slope m is m = (16-7)/(9-3) = 9/6 = 3/2.
Now that we have the slope, we can plug in the slope and one of the points to find b. Let's use the point (3, 7).
f(x) = mx + b
7 = (1/2)(3) + b
b = 11/2
Now we can write the equation
f(x) = (1/2)x + 11/2
Plugging in x = 7 we find that f(7) = 9. n = 9
S= one length of square 1
S+1 = one length square 2
S+2= one length square 3
Our equation would be
S^2+(S+1)^2+(S+2)^2=365
Idk if it would be called distribute but.. distribute
S^2+S^2+2S+1+S^2+4S+4=365
Add like terms
3S^2+6S-360=0
Divide everything. By 3
S^2+2S-120=0
Factor
(S-10)(S+12)=0
The two solutions are:
S-10=0
S=10
S+12=0
S=-12
Since a length can’t be a negative the only possible solution would be 10
Since a perimeter is all lengths added together we can multiply the length by four to get the perimeter
Square 1
10*4=40
Perimeter is 40cm
Square 2
S+1 =11
11*4=44
Perimeter is 44cm
Square 3
S+2=12
12*4=48
Perimeter is 48cm
Add all the perimeters together to get the total perimeter:
Total perimeter:
40+44+48=132
The total perimeter is 132cm
I hope this helps. Sorry if I messed up anything on here it was kinda hard to keep track of everything. Feel free to ask if you need anything cleared up :)
