Answer:
y = - x² - 4x - 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
y = - (x + 2)² - 5 ← expand (x + 2)² using FOIL
= - (x² + 4x + 4) - 5 ← distribute parenthesis by - 1
= - x² - 4x - 4 - 5 ← collect like terms
= - x² - 4x - 9 ← in standard form
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Let the numbers be x,y, where x>y
The geometric mean is

The Arithmetic mean is

The ratio of the geometric mean and arithmetic mean of two numbers is 3:5.

We can write the equation;

or

l
and

or

Make y the subject in equation 2

Put equation 3 in 1





When x=1, y=10-1=9
When x=9, y=10-9=1
Therefore x=9, and y=1
The ratio of the smaller number to the larger number is

P = 2(L + W)
P = 192
L = 2W
192 = 2(2W + W)
192 = 2(3W)
192 = 6W
192/6 = W
32 = W <=== the width is 32 yards
L = 2W
L = 2(32)
L = 64 <=== the length is 64 yards
