There are 4 sides to a rectangle, which we will name as x as we do not know their length yet. We will be adding up these 4 sides as we are given the perimeter. However, we know that the length of the of the rectangle is 8 units longer than its width, which will make them x+8 units long. So, our equation is:
x+(x+8)+x+(x+8)=56
where x is a measure of the width and (x+8) is a measure of the length. Now we solve, first collecting the like terms:
x+x+8+x+x+8=56
4x+16=56
Now minus 16 on both sides:
4x=40
And finally divide by 4 on both sides to isolate x:
x=10
So, the width (x) is 10 units, and the length (x+8) is 12 units.

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Use graphs and tables to find the limit and identify any vertical asymptotes of the functio
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

as you can see something amazing happens in 10 in this function . If you replace x with 10 you get 1/0 wich an indetermined form in Mathematics.

Now we are sure that there is a vertical asymptote in 10. Let's see identify the limit in the left of 10.

let's assign some values to x that are smaller than 10.

1. x=9

1/(9-10)= -1

a negative value

2. x=8

1/(8-10)= -1/2

a negative value

let try a reallu colse value to 10 like 9.99

1/(9.99-10)=-100

a negative value

so we can deduce that the limit is -∞

lim     [1/(x-10)]=-∞

x→10-

Explain how to estimate the quotient using compatible numbers. 27 and two-thirds divided by 3 and StartFraction 9 over 10 EndFra
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

The first fraction is between 27 and 28, closer to 28. The second fraction is between 3 and 4, closer to 4. Compatible numbers in division are numbers that can be divided mentally. 28 divided by 4 is 7. The quotient will be around 7.

Solve the equation.Check your solution<br><br>1.5x = 3
PIT_PIT [208]
Divide both sides by 1.5

1.5x = 3

x = 2

Check the equation by plugging in the 2.

1.5(2) = 3

3 = 3
