Width=20.108 yrd and Length=43.216 yrd

Step-by-step explanation:

Let width = w

Length =3+2w

Area = 869 yrd^2

We need to find length and width of rectangle.

The formula used is:

$Area= length*width$

Putting values:

$Area= length*width$

$869= (3+2w)*(w)$

$869= 3w+2w^2$

$2w^2+3w-869=0$

Using quadratic equation to find value of width w:

$w=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

a=2, b=3 and c=-869

$w=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt{(3)^2-4(2)(-869)}}{2(2)}$

$w=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt{6961}}{4}$

$w=\frac{-3\pm 83.4}{4}$

$w=\frac{-3+83.4}{4}\,\,and\,\,w=\frac{-3-83.4}{4}$

$w=20.108\,\,and\,\,w=-21.6$

Since width can't be negative so, width w=20.108

Length will be: L=3+2w = 3+2(20.108)=3+40.216=43.216

So, Width=20.108 yrd and Length=43.216 yrd

Use the Quadratic Formula to find the x-intercepts (zeros) to the following equation: 0 = -2x2 - 7x + 12

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

The x-intercept is 8/7.

Step-by-step explanation:

There is only one x-intercept because the equation is linear. And you don't need the quadratic formula to find the x-intercepts at all. Hope this helps!!

What is the recursive of this:

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

$a_n=a_{n-1}+2^{n-1}\ \ n>1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Recursive Sequence

We are given the following sequence:

-1, 1, 5, 13...

It's required to find the recursive term for the sequence.

A recursive formula calculates each term as a function of one or more previous terms.

To find the recursive formula, we must find a pattern and transform it into a math expression.

Let's write the sequence, and below it, the difference of consecutive terms:

-1, 1, 5, 13...

+2, +4, +8

Note the difference between consecutive terms is always a power of 2, starting from 2^1, 2^2, 2^3.

The exponent is one less than the number of the term, thus:

$a_n-a_{n-1}=2^{n-1}$

Thus:

$\mathbf{a_n=a_{n-1}+2^{n-1}\ \ n>1}$

Testing:

n=1

$a_1=-1$ (given).

n=2

$a_2=a_{1}+2^{2-1}=-1+2^{1}=1$

n=3

$a_3=a_{2}+2^{3-1}=1+2^{2}=5$

n=4

$a_4=a_{3}+2^{4-1}=5+2^{3}=13$

write an equation in point-point form for the line through the given point with the givedescribe how the graph of y | x| -4 is l

Digiron [165]

a) The point-slope form of the equation of a line through point (h, k) with slope m is
y - k = m(x - h)

In point-slope form, the equation of the line through (-3, -7) with slope -6/5 is
y + 7 = (-6/5)(x + 3)

b) The graph of
y = |x|-4
represents a translation downward 4 units of the graph of
y = |x|
It retains the same general shape and axis of symmetry, but will have two (2) x-intercepts instead of one (1).

Rewrite the following equation in standard form. y=4x+10

Virty [35]

standard from Ax +By = C

y = 4x+10

subtract 4x from each side

-4x+y = 10

or 4x - y = -10

The<br> The point (2,6) is on the line given by which equation below?

maria [59]

Answer:

A y = 3x

Step-by-step explanation:

We can check each line to see if the point is on it

A y = 3x 6 = 2*3 6=6 this is true so the point is one the line

B y = 4-x 6 = 2-4 6 = -2 false

C y = -3x 6 = -3(2) 6=-6 false

D y =-x+4 6 = -2+4 6 = 2 false
