Answer:

Length = 9units

Width = 7units

Step-by-step explanation:

It is said that the length is 2units more than the width

Assume that the width is x, then the length will be 2 + x

ie

Width = x

Length = 2 + x

Area of the rectangle = 63units

Area of rectangle = l * b

l - length of the rectangle

b - width of the rectangle

A = l * b

63 = (2 + x) * x

63 = ( 2 + x) x

63 = 2x + x^2

Let's rearrange it

x^2 + 2x - 63 = 0

Let's find the factor of 63

A factor that can be multiplied to give -63 and that can be added to give +2

Let's use -7 and +9

x^2 - 7x + 9x - 63 = 0

Separate with brackets

( x^2 - 7x) + ( 9x - 63) = 0

x( x - 7) + 9(x - 7) = 0

( x + 9)(x - 7) = 0

( x + 9) = 0

( x - 7) = 0

x + 9 = 0

x = -9

x - 7 = 0

x = 7

Note: the length of a rectangle can not be negative

So therefore,

x = 7

Length = 2 + x

= 2 + 7

= 9units

Width = x

= 7units

Which equation is the inverse of y=100-x2
Harman [31]

Answer:

Inverse of y = f^{-1}(x) = \sqrt{100 -x}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  : f(x) = y = 100 - x²

To find : Find inverse.

Solution : We have given that :

f(x) = y = 100 - x²

Step1) : Replace every x with a y and replace every y with an x .

x = 100 - y².

Step 2): Solve for y

On subtracting 100 from both sides

x - 100 = -y²

On multiplying both side by -1

100 -x = y²

Taking square root both sides and switching sides

y = ± \sqrt{100-x}.

Step3 ) : Replace y with f^{-1}(x).

f^{-1}(x) = ± \sqrt{100-x}.

Therefore, inverse of y = f^{-1}(x) = ± \sqrt{100-x}.
