Area =72 sq. cm

length = x+6

Width = x

l×b = Area
(x+6)x =72
x2 +6x=72
x2+6x-72=0
x2+12x-6x-72=0
x (x+12) -6 (x+12)=0
(x+12) ( x-6) =0
x=-12, x=6

since width can't be negative , the answer is x=6.

therefore, the width is 6cm

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given f(x) then f(x - 2) represents a horizontal translation of f(x) shifted 2 units to the right, thus

The marked points on f(x) → f(x - 2) are

(0, 0 ) → (2, 0 )

(2, 4 ) → (4, 4 )

(3, 9 ) → (5, 9 )

Given that f(x) = 2x + 5 and g(x) = x − 7, solve for f(g(x)) when x = −3

Answer:

-15

Step-by-step explanation:

start from the inside and go out.

So first plug in -3 into g(x)

g(-3) = -3 - 7 = -10

then plug in -10 into f(x)

f(-10) = 2(-10) + 5 = -15

so f(g(x)) = -15

I need help on figuring out the two ways.

I believe the diagonals would be perpendicular. So if it's on a graph/coordinate plane the slopes would be opposite. And all the sides would be the same length/2 sets are parallel/same slope
