The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is:
A=2l+2w.
We know the area is 116, so we can plug that in for A. Now, we cant solve the equation yet because it still has two variables. Since we know the length is 5 feet greater than the width, we can rewrite l in terms of w. So here is what our new equation will look like:
116=2(w+5)+2w
Now lets solve:
116=2w+10+2w
106=4w
w=26.5 ft.
The width is 26.5 ft.

Write an equation of a parabola that passes through the point (2,4) with vertex (-1,-1) in vertex form.
quester [9]
An applicable equation of a vertical parabola in vertex form is:

y-k = a(x-h)^2

Let x=2, y=4, h=-1 and k=-1, where (h,k) is the vertex.  Then,

4-(-1) = a(2-[-1])^2, which becomes 5 = a(9).  Therefore, a = 5/9, and the 
equation of the parabola is

y+1 = (5/9)(x+1)
