Answer:

The answer is

<h2> 19 feet</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle = length × width

let w be the width and l be the length

Area of rectangle = 247 ft²

width is 6 feet less than its length is

w = l - 6

247 = l( 1 - 6)

l² - 6l - 247 = 0

(l + 13) (l - 19) = 0

l + 13 = 0 l - 19 = 0

l = - 13 l = 19

Since the length should be positive

The length of the rectangle is

<h3> 19 feet</h3>

Hope this helps you

Answer:

Length of the rectangle, L = 19 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle = Length * Width

Area of the rectangle, A = 247 ft²

Let the length of the rectangle be L

The width of the rectangle = W

Since the width of the rectangle is 6 ft less that the length;

W = L - 6

A = L * W

247 = L * (L - 6)

247 = L² - 6L

L² - 6L - 247 = 0

By solving the quadratic equation above:

(L - 19)(L + 13) = 0

L - 19 = 0, L = 19

L + 13 = 0; L = -13

Since the length of a rectangle cannot be negative, L = 19 ft

Answer:

B, C, E

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer choice A):

$300 ×  = $75

* This answer choice represents the calculation of discount only and not the final selling price of the bicycle.

Answer choice B):

$300 ×  = $225

* This answer choice represents the calculation of the final selling price of the bicycle.

Answer choice C)

$300 × (1 - ) = $225

* This answer choice represents the calculation of the final selling price of the bicycle.

Answer choice D):

$300 - 1/4

*This answer choice shows an incorrect equation which neither represents the calculation of the discount nor the final selling price of the bicycle.

Answer choice E):

$300 -  × $300

Applying the rule of PEMDAS,

We start with division; 1 ÷ 4 = 0.25

Then we go to multiplication; 0.25 × $300 = $75

Finally we do the subtraction; $300 - $75 = $225

* This answer choice represents the calculation of the final selling price of the bicycle.

What is the domain and range for the following function an its inverse?<br><br> f(x)=-x+5
Whitepunk [10]
The function and its inverse are exactly the same. You find the inverse of a function by switching the x and the y and then solving for the new y. If your function is y = -x + 5 and you switch the x and the y, you get x = -y +5. Now solve for the new y to get y = -x + 5. The domain and range for those is all real numbers.
