Answer:

See below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we draw a line from the point of intersection to the longest side of the rectangle it will meet it at the midpoint.

The same thing will happen when the line is draw to the shortest side.

So the point of intersection is  1/2 * 7 = 3.5 cm from the longest side and 15/2 = 7.5 cm from the shortest side.

The graphs of functions f(x) and g(x) = f(x) + k are shown below:
Nataly [62]
Here's the info for f(x):  We are going to find the slope of the line and then write the equation for the line using one of the given points.  The coordinate points we are given are (0, 0) and (2, 4).  Using the slope formula:
m= \frac{y_{2} - y_{1} }{ x_{2}- x_{1}  }
gives us a slope equation of:
m= \frac{4-0}{2-0} and the slope is 2.  Using the point (0, 0) to write the equation of the line for f(x) looks like this in the slope-intercept form of the equation:
y- y_{1} =m(x- x_{1}) where m is the sloppe of 2 that we found and y_{1}  and  x_{1}  are the coordinates of one of the points.  It doesn't matter which one you choose; you will get the same answer whether you use (0, 0) or (2, 4): y-0=2(x-0)   Distributing that 2 into the parenthesis and simplifying gives you the equation of y = 2x, or in our function notation, f(x) = 2x.  Since f(x) is the first part of g(x), so far for g(x) we have that g(x) = 2x + k.  Now we will do the same thing for g(x) that we did for f(x) as far as writing its equation down; we don't need to find the slope cuz the slope of g(x) is the function f(x).  The equation for g(x), using the point (0, 2) (again, you could have used either point; I just picked (0, 2) cuz the other one has a decimal in it!): y - 2 = 2(x - 0).  Distributing that 2 into the parenthesis gives you this: y - 2 = 2x - 0; y = 2x + 2.  So 2 is your k value!

The length of the box is 2x - 2 and the width is x - 5. Find the perimeter. (HINT: p= 2L + 2W) Choose one.
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

Option D: 6x-14 is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Length of the box = L = 2x-2

Width of the box = W = x-5

Perimeter is defined by the sum of length of all sides of the box.

Perimeter of the box = P = 2L + 2W

Perimeter of box = 2(2x-2) + 2(x-5)

Perimeter = 4x-4+2x-10

Perimeter = 6x-14

The perimeter of the box is 6x-14.

Hence,

Option D: 6x-14 is the correct answer.
