Veronika [31]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The height of wall is 3 feet and length of wall is 5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The Area of retaining wall = 15 square feet

Let The width of wall = W feet

The Height of wall = ( W - 2 ) feet

Now, Area of Rectangle = Height  width

Or , 15 ft² = ( W - 2 ) ft × W ft

Or,  15 = W² - 2 W

Or,   W² - 2 W - 15 = 0

Or,  W² - 5 W + 3 W - 15 = 0

Or, W ( W - 5 ) + 3 ( W - 5 ) = 0

So , ( W - 5 ) ( W + 3 ) = 0

So, W = 5 , - 3

∴ The width of wall = W = 5 feet

And The Height of wall = ( W - 2 ) = 5 - 2 = 3  feet

Hence The height of wall is 3 feet and length of wall is 5 feet. Answer

Write the following polynomial in standard from, then label the degree: <br> -5-5x^2+8x-3x^3
ddd [48]

When putting polynomials in standard form we arrange them from the term with the highest power to the lowest power.

This polynomial would be arranged: -3x^3-5x^2+8x-5

The degree of a polynomial is the power of the highest term so the degree of this polynomial is three.

Write an equation parallel to y= -5/2x + 9 that passes through the point (-6,7) brainly
frozen [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If two lines are parallel, that means their slopes are equal.

And we also know that the line must pass through (-6,7)

And with our point-slope equation, we get the equation:

y-7 = -\frac{5}{2} (x+6)

y - 7 = -\frac{5}{2} x-15\\y= -\frac{5}{2} x-8<------ Answer

Hope that helps!
