Answer:

Area = 8 square ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle = Length × width

suppose length = x

width = y

Here it is given that x = 3 y - 2

width is given as y = 2 ft

∴ x = 3 × 2 -2

x = 6 -2

x = 4

Area of rectangle = length × width

A = 4 × 2

= 8 square ft

I need help solving this problem

G(f(2)) means work out whatever f(2) is then plug this into g(x).

So f(2) is 3 because we just find the x-value 2 in the left hand column and read across. This is 3.

So then we find g(3) by finding the x-value 3 in the left hand column and read across. This is 10.

So g(f(2)) = 10

Answer:

{2.96, 12.66}

Step-by-step explanation:

A graph shows the rocket will be 600 feet up after 2.96 seconds, and again at 12.66 seconds.

You can solve the equation h = 600 to find the times.

-16t^2 +250t = 600

-16(t^2 -15.625t) = 600

-16(t^2 -15.625t +7.8125²) = 600 -16(7.8125²)

-16(t -7.8125)² = -376.5625

t -7.8125 = √(376.5625/16) ≈ ±4.8513

t = 7.8125 ± 4.8513 ≈ {2.9612, 12.6638}

The rocket will be 600 ft above the ground 2.96 and 12.66 seconds after launch.
