X=original length of each side of the square.
perimeter: sum of all sides=4(length of the side)
The length of each side of the new square will be= (x-2)
we can suggest this equation:

4(x-2)=48

We solve this equation:
4(x-2)=48
4x-8=48
4x=48+8
4x=56
x=56/4
x=14

Answer: the original length of each side of the square would be 14 in.

X^2 +6x+30 in vertex form
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Factoring  x2-6x-30

The first term is,  x2  its coefficient is  1 .

The middle term is,  -6x  its coefficient is  -6 .

The last term, "the constant", is  -30

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   1 • -30 = -30

Step-2 : Find two factors of  -30  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   -6 .

     -30    +    1    =    -29

     -15    +    2    =    -13

     -10    +    3    =    -7

     -6    +    5    =    -1

     -5    +    6    =    1

     -3    +    10    =    7

     -2    +    15    =    13

     -1    +    30    =    29

Why are unbiased estimators preferred over biased estimators?
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Generally an unbiased statistic is preferred over a biased statistic. This is because there is a long run tendency of the biased statistic to under/over estimate the true value of the population parameter. Unbiasedness does not guarantee that an estimator will be close to the population parameter.
