P = perimeter

Perimeter of a rectangle = l + l + w + w

or  P = 2l + 2w

You know:

P = 150 m

l = w + 5     [length is 5 m greater than the width]

P = 2l + 2w        Plug in what you know

150 = 2(w + 5) + 2w     Simplify, distribute/multiply 2 into (w + 5)

150 = 2w + 10 + 2w

150 = 4w + 10     Subtract 10 to both sides of the equation

140 = 4w       Divide 4 on both sides

35 = w

PROOF               l = w + 5 --->  l = 40

P = 2l + 2w

150 = 2(40) + 2(35)

150 = 80 + 70

150 = 150

Given that (4,4) is on the graph of f(x), Find The Corresponding Point for the function f(x)+5
Talja [164]

Answer:

(4,9)

Step-by-step explanation:

If f(x) is a function, the function f(x) + a is a function translated a units up vertically. <em>Hence, all the y-coordinates of the coordinates of the points on the function will shift up by a.</em>

<em />

For this problem, we need to find corresponding coordinate of (4,4) of f(x) + 5. <em>This means that the y-coordinate of this coordinate will increase by 5 and x will stay the same</em>.

Hence, corresponding point for f(x) + 5 for the point (4,4) would be (4,4+5) OR (4,9).
