The formula of an area of a rectangle:

A = wl

We have l = w - 4 and A = 21.

Substitute:

w(w - 4) = 21       <em>use distributive property</em>

(w)(w) + (w)(-4) = 21

w² - 4w = 21     <em>subtract 21 from both sides</em>

w² - 4w - 21 = 0

w² - 7w + 3w - 21 = 0

w(w - 7) + 3(w - 7) = 0

(w - 7)(w + 3) = 0 ↔ w - 7 = 0 ∨ w + 3 = 0

w = 7 ∨ w = -3 < 0

l = w - 4 → l = 7 - 4 = 3

<h3>Answer: the length = 3 u.</h3>

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle in standard form is

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the centre and r is the radius

Here (h, k) = ( - \frac{1}{5}, \frac{1}{3} ) and r = \frac{1}{2}, thus

(x - (- \frac{1}{5} ))² + (y - \frac{1}{3} )² = ( \frac{1}{2} )², that is

(x + \frac{1}{5} )² + (y - \frac{1}{3} )² = \frac{1}{4} → D

If f(x) = 7 + 4x and g(x)=1/2x, what is the value of (f/g)(5)?
Romashka [77]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

d. \ \boxed{270}

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

In this exercise we need to make a division and evaluate the new function at x=5. so we have two functions, namely:

f(x)=7+4x \ and \\ \\ g(x)=\frac{1}{2x}  

Therefore:

f(5)=7+4(5)=27 \\ \\ g(5)=\frac{1}{2\times 5}=\frac{1}{10}

So:

(f/g)(5)=\frac{27}{\frac{1}{10}}=270

20% of a number is 17 . find the number
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

<h2><u><em>x = 85</em></u></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

20% of a number is 17 . find the number

divide 17 by 20 and you find 1%, multiply by 100 and you get 100%

x = 17 : 20 * 100

x = 0.85 * 100

x = <u><em>85</em></u>
