Answer:

The width = 8 meters

The length = 12 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The Perimeter of the rectangle is 40 meters.

Width is 4 meters less than the length or x - 4

40 = 2(x-4) + 2x

40 = 2x - 8 + 2x

40 = 4x - 8

48 = 4x

12 = x

Width = 12 - 4 = 8

Help ASAP 2k-6-7+3k=-48

k0ka [10]

Answer:

k=-7

Step-by-step explanation:

2k-6-7+3k=-48

Combine like terms

5k -13 = -48

Add 13 to each side

5k-13+13 = -48+13

5k = -35

Divide by 5

5k/5 = -35/5

k =-7

Given x^2 -4x+4 is a factor of the polynomial 2x^4 - 11x^3 +68x-80, completely factor the polynomial using algebraic methods.

asambeis [7]

Answer:

2x^4-11x^3+68x-80

2x^4-4x^3-7x^3+14x^2-14x^2+28x+40x-80

2x^3(x-2)-7x^2(x-2)-14x(x-2)+40(x-2)

(x-2)(2x^3-7x^2-14x+40)

(x-2)(2x^3-4x^2-3x^2+6x-20x+40)

(x-2)(2x^2(x-2)-3x(x-2)-20(x-2))

(x-2)(x-2)(2x^3-3x-20)

(x-2)(x-2)(2x^2+5x-8x-20)

(x-2)(x-2)(x(2x+5)-4(2x+5))

(x-2)(x-2)(2x+5)(x-4)

(x-2)^2(2x+5)(x-4)

Which of the following is the graph of the quadratic function y - x? +10x+16 ?

Assoli18 [71]

Find the vertex:

$\textrm{Use the formula } \frac{-b}{2a} \textrm{ to find the vertex}\\ \\ \frac{-10}{2} = -5\\ \\ \textrm{In order to find the y value plug in -5 back into the function}\\ \\ y=(-5)^2+10(-5)+16\\ y=-9\\\\ \textrm{The vertex of the function is} (-5,-9)$

Determine if the parabola will open up or down:

$a > 0 \\ \\ 1>0$

Since the value of a is positive, the parabola will open upwards

Find the x and y intercepts:

Factor $y = x^2+10x + 16$ to find the x intercepts

(x+8)(x+2)

x + 8 = 0

x = -8

x + 2 = 0

x = -2

x intercepts:

x = -2

x = -8

Find the y intercept

$y = 0^2+10(0) + 16\\\\ y=16$

Hence, C. Graph A best represents the quadratic function $y = x^2+10x + 16$
