x-\ length\\\\
\frac{2}{3}x-\ width\\\\
Area=\ length*width\\\\
864=x*\frac{2}{3}x\\\\
864=\frac{2}{3}x^2\ \ \ | divide\ by\ \frac{2}{3}\\\\
864*\frac{3}{2}=x^2\\\\
432*3=x^2\\\\
1296=x^2\ \ \ | \sqrt{}\\\\
x=36ft\\\\
Length\ is \ equal\ to\ 36ft.

By definition, the area of a rectangle is given by:

A = w * l

Where,

w: width of the rectangle

l: length of the rectangle

Substituting values in the given equation we have:

864 = (\frac{2}{3} l) * (l)

From here, we clear the value of l.

We have then:

l ^ 2 = (\frac{3}{2}) * (864)\\l ^ 2 = 1296

l = \sqrt{1296}\\l = 36

Answer:

the length of Louis' s basement is:

l = 36 feet

Consider the functions shown below.
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer: D

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

A. False

f(x): x → -∞, y → -∞

g(x): x → -∞, y → 1  

B. False

at x = -1, f(x) = -7

at x = -1, g(x) = 1.5

C. False

refer to A

g(x) → 1 and f(x) → -∞   so g(x) > f(x)

D. TRUE

It is hard to tell from the graph so plug in a value to check.

f(10) = 5(10) - 2

       = 50 - 2

       = 48

g(10) = 2¹⁰ + 1

        = 1024 + 1

        = 1025

g(10) > f(10)

Write an equation of the circle with center (2,-3) and radius 8.
Paul [167]

Answer:

(x-2)^2+ (y+3)^2 = 64

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write the equation of a circle as

(x-h)^2+ (y-k)^2 = r^2

Where (h,k) is the center and r is the radius

(x-2)^2+ (y- -3)^2 = 8^2

(x-2)^2+ (y+3)^2 = 8^2

(x-2)^2+ (y+3)^2 = 64
