The area of a rectangle is L x W. We have to get the value of x first so that we can find the area of the rectangle.

To get the value of x
given:
a. 12 & X
b. X-2 & 16 
solution:
12x (x) = (8-2 ) 16
12x = 16x-32
32 = 16x-- 12x
32 = 4x
4 4
8 = x

Checking:

a. 12 & X b. X-2 & 16
Area of a rectangle = L x W Area of a rectangle = L x W
 =12 x 8 = (8-2) 16
Area of a rectangle = 96 = 6 (16)
Area of a rectangle = 96

Answer:

$\frac{\sqrt{10} }{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Using cosine (since that is adjacent over hypotenuse), cos(60)=1/2 so your answer is hypotenuse*1/2= $\sqrt{10}*\frac{1}{2}=\frac{\sqrt{10} }{2}$

Which function has a minimum and is transformed to the right and down from the parent function, f(x) = x2?

Answer:

The last choice is the one you want

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, a parabola has a minimum value if it is a positive parabola, one that opens upward. The first and the third parabolas are negative so they open upside down. That leaves us with choices 2 and 4. We find the side to side and up or down movement by finishing the completion of the square that has already been started for us. Do this by factoring what's inside the parenthesis into a perfect square binomial.

The second one factored becomes:

$g(x)=4(x-3)^2+1$
