The length of a rectangle is 5cm greater than its width. The perimeter is 58. What are the dimensions of the rectangle

2 answers:

Perimeter= 2w+2l
l=w+5

Substitute for l
p= 2w+2(w+5)
p= 2w+2w+10
p= 4w+10
58=4w+10
48=4w
12= w

Plug in the width to find length.
l= 12+5
l=17

Final answer: Length-17 cm, Width-12 cm

Write two equations:
l + w = 58
l + 5 = w
substitute and solve
l + l + 5 = 58
2l = 53
l=26.5
w=31.5
26.5cm x 31.5cm

0.0032 is finite because it doesn't go on forever. If that number never ended, it would be infinite. I hope this helps!

Find the average rate of change of the function over the given intervals. f(x) = 12x3 + 12; [5,7]

AlladinOne [14]

<span>average rate of change = (f(7) - f(5)) / (x7 - x5)
</span>f(7) = <span>12 (7^3) + 12 = 4128
f(5) = </span>12 (5^3) + 12 = 1512

so
average rate of change = (4128 - 1512)/(7-5)
average rate of change = 2616 / 2
average rate of change = 1308

hope it helps
