By the way your X is my C. The Pythagorean theorem is a^2+b^2=c^2. A is 12, and b is 16, you would first plug them in. 12^2+16^2=c^2. So then you square them. You would then get 144+256=c^2. So now you add and get 400=c^2. Now find the square root of both sides to get just c. The square root of 400 is 20 and the square root of c^2 is just c. So that means 20=c or in your case x=20.
Simply find perimeter for fencing, which is 16+16+8+8 which equals 48. The area is needed for finding the garden area, which is 16*8, which is 128
So the equation of the red graph is already given to us:
. I assume you meant the blue graph?
We can use the vertex form:
, where
is the vertex. (We can ignore
because
is 1 for this graph.) Remember that the vertex is the maximum or minimum of a parabola and the point that the line of symmetry passes through. For f(x) the vertex is (0,0).
The vertex for
is at
on the coordinate plane. (4 left, 2 down)
Plug into the vertex form:

The double negative becomes a positive, and then you're done:

number 1 is the answer circle FA
