Let x be the length of one side of the smaller square
Let y be the length of one side of the larger square
4x would be the perimeter of the smaller square, as it has 4 sides
Therefore 4x = y + 10, as the perimeter of the smaller square is 10 inches bigger than one side of the larger square.
We're going to solve this question using simultaneous equations. This means we need another equation to compare the first one to.
Since we know that one side of the larger square is 2 inches bigger than the first one, we can make the equation
y = x + 2
Know that we know the value of y in terms of x, we can introduce this value to the original equation to find:
4x = (x + 2) + 10
Therefore:
4x = x + 12
3x = 12
x = 4
Now that we know the size of the sides on the smaller square, we can figure out the size of the larger square by using our second equation (y = x + 2)
y = 4 + 2
y = 6
Therefore, the length of each side of the larger square is<u> B.6</u>

identify a transformation of the function f(x) = √x by observing the equation of the function g(x) = √x-2
gregori [183]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

f(x)=\sqrt{x} is the Square Root Function. These are the characteristics of the graph of the square root function:

  • The domain of the function is the set of all non negative real numbers.
  • The range of the function is the set of all non negative real numbers.
  • The graph has an intercept at (0,0).
  • The graph is increasing on the interval (0, \infty).

Since the function g(x)=\sqrt{x}-2, then this stands for the form:

g(x)=f(x)-c. This form tells us that the graph of f has been shifted c units downward where the value c = 2 in this problem. The graphs of both functions are shown below. The red one is f(x) while the blue one is g(x)

If ab= 7x-6 and bc= 12-2x. Then what does ac equal?
ra1l [238]
Ab = (7x-6) →   b = (7x-6)/a   (1)

bc = (12-2x) → b = (12-2x)/c   (2)

Since (1) = (2) → (7x-6)/a = (12-2x)/c OR  a/c = (7x-6)/(12-2x)  (3)

Multiply  both numerators of (3) by the SQUARE of their  respective denominators;

(a*c²)/c = (7x-6)(12-2x)²/(12-2x)
Now simplify:

ac = (7x-6)(12x-2x)  or ac = -14x² + 96x - 72
