Answer:

let x=one number =

x-2= another number

x²- (x-2)²=20

x²-x²-4x+4=20

-4x=20-4

-4x=16

x=16/-4

x=-4

one number is -4

x-2

-4-2

=-6

the another number is -6

If f(x) and f⁻¹(x) are inverse functions of each other and f(x)=2x+5, what is f⁻¹(8)?

dexar [7]

Answer:

3/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=2x+5 Finding the inverse:

y = 2x + 5

2x = y - 5

x = (y - 5)/2

So the inverse f-1(x) = (x - 5)/2

and f-1(8) = (8-5)/2

= 3/2.

Find the area of the figure.

andrezito [222]

Answer:

area of figure = area of rectangle + area of triangle

area of rectangle= length × width

6×4

24yd²

area of triangle= 1/2×base×height

1/2×3×4

3×2

=6yd²

area of figure= 24+6

= 30yd²

The perimeter of a isclose triangle is 24in and the length of the side is 4 in find the 2 other sides

Scrat [10]

Answer:

10 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Shape: Isosceles Triangle

$Perimeter=24\ in$

$Side = 4\ in$

Required

Find the length of the other two sides

Represent the other sides with x.

Since it is an isosceles triangle, 2 sides are equal.

So, we have:

$x + x + 4 = 24$

$2x + 4 = 24$

Collect Like Terms

$2x = 24-4$

$2x = 20$

Divide both sides by 2

$\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{20}{2}$

$x = \frac{20}{2}$

$x = 10$

<em>The other sides are 10in each</em>
