Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let : x The length and y the width you have this system :

xy =60....(1)

x = y+10...(2)

put the value for x in (1):  (y+10)y =60

the quadratic equation is : y² +10y - 60 = 0

Δ =b² - 4ac        a = 1        b= 10      c= - 60

Δ =10² - 4(1)(-60) = 324 =18²

y 1 = (-10-18)/2 negatif...... refused

y 2 = (-10+18)/2 =4

the width is 4

Answer:

9.9919*10^4

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

99,919

we know that

99,919=9.9919(10,000)

10,000=10^4

substitute

9.9919(10^4)

therefore

The 2014 population of West Palm Beach in scientific notation is equal to

Given f(x)= -2x -13, what is f(-3) -7?<br><br>A: -26<br>B: -14<br>C: -7<br>D: 0<br>E: 26
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

B: -14

Step-by-step explanation:

given that f(x) = -2x - 13,

we can find the value of f(-3) by simply plugging in -3 for x

f(-3) = -2(-3) - 13

f(-3) = -7

Because we are dealing with the expression f(-3) - 7, we still have one more step. Let's plug in -7 for f(-3)

- 7 - 7 = -14

Therefore, f(-3) - 7 will give us B: -14
