Answer:
x-73
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x=Jose's height. If it says "less than," then that is subtraction. Since Jose's height is not defined, there is no specific number that can be used to describe "73 less than twice Jose's height," so I use the variable x, and then subtract 73.
Let x = the length of a side of the square (m).
The area is
A = x²
The perimeter is
P = 4x
The rate of change of P with respect to x is
P'(x) = 4 (independent of x)
When A = 49 m², then x = 7 m.
The rate of P is 4.
