Answer:

Length 14\ cm

Width 3\ cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> the length of rectangle

y ----> the width of rectangle

we know that

The area of rectangle is equal to

A=xy

A=42\ cm^{2}

so

42=xy ----> equation A

x=2y+8 ---> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y

42=(2y+8)y\\ \\2y^{2}+8y-42=0

Solve the quadratic equation by graphing

The solution is y=3\ cm

see the attached figure

Find the value of x

x=2(3)+8=14\ cm

therefore

Length 14\ cm

Width 3\ cm

A caterer charges $275 for 15 people and $425 for 25 people. The cost, y, is a
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

y = 15x + 50

Step-by-step explanation:

We set out by finding the slope

the two points give are (15,275) and (25,425)

Slope m is;

y2-y1/x2-x1 = (425-275)/25-15 = 150/10 = 15

So the equation is like;

y = 15x + b

To get b, let us use the point (15,275)

We have

275 = 15(15) + b

b = 275-225

b = 50

So the equation is;

y = 15x + 50

If f(x)=-4x^2-6x-1 and g(x)=-x^2-5x+3, fine (f-g)(x)
NeX [460]

Answer:

\large\boxed{(f-g)(x)=-3x^2-x-4}

Step-by-step explanation:

(f-g)(x)=f(x)-g(x)

f(x)=-4x^2-6x-1,\ g(x)=-x^2-5x+3\\\\(f-g)(x)=(-4x^2-6x-1)-(-x^2-5x+3)\\\\(f-g)(x)=-4x^2-6x-1-(-x^2)-(-5x)-3\\\\(f-g)(x)=-4x^2-6x-1+x^2+5x-3\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\(f-g)(x)=(-4x^2+x^2)+(-6x+5x)+(-1-3)\\\\(f-g)(x)=-3x^2-x-4
