Hi there!

The general formula to find the perimeter of a rectangle is :

P = (Length × 2) + (Width × 2)

Let's say the width of the rectangle is "x".

The lenght of the rectangle is equal to 2x + 4.2


Replace everything you know in the formula :

42.6 = ((2x + 4.2) × 2) + ((x) × 2)


Simplify everything :

2x × 2 = 4x

4.2 × 2 = 8.4

x × 2 = 2x


42.6 = 4x + 8.4 + 2x

42.6 = 6x + 8.4


Isolate "x":

42.6 = 6x + 8.4

Subtract 8.4 from each side of the equation

34.2 = 6x

Divide each side of the equation by 6

5.7 = x

5.7cm = the width of the rectangle


Since the lenght of the rectangle is equal to 2 times the width of the rectangle plus 4.2 :

Length = (2 × 5.7) + 4.2

Length = 15.6cm


42.6 = (2 × 15.6) + (2 × 5.7) ? → YES


There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)

I count five 'k's there, so that part of the expression is

                                     k⁵  .

Two 'n's form the rest of it, so that part is  n² .

The parts are multiplied, so the simplest form of the expression is

                                     k⁵ n²  .

Help on section C :)

Hey there!

The correct answer would be that there are no x-intercepts. When you look at the graph, the function does not appear to pass through the x axis. 

Therefore, your function has no x-intercept.

Hope this helps! :)

I dont understand
crimeas [40]
To determine the inverse of a function, we first write the parent function in terms of y. So, in this part the x would be isolated to one side of the equation. Then, with the new form of the parent function, we switch the x into y and y to x. The new function would be the inverse function. For the given function, we do as follows:

<span> y=-4/x + 1 
y - 1 = -4/x
x ( y - 1 ) = -4
x = -4 / (y -1)

Replacing x into y and y into x,

</span>y = -4 / (x -1)

<span>Therefore, the inverse is y=-a/x-b where a = 4 and b = 1.</span>
