the length of a rectangle is 7 inches more than its width, if the perimiter of the rectangle is 66 inches, find its dimensions.

1 answer:

3 0

Perimeter of rectangle=66
length of rectangle=L
width of rectangle=w
P of a rect.= 2(length)+ 2(width)
66= 2L+2w

if the length is 7in more than the width, then
L=7+w

Now we will substitute 7+w in for L. Here is our new equation:

66=2(7+w) + 2w

Solve for w

66=14+2w+2w
66=14+4w
52=4w
w=13
L=7+13, so L=20

I hooe this is explained well enough

The axis of symmetry for a function in the form f(x) = x2 + 4x − 5 is x = −2. What are the coordinates of the vertex of the grap

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

D) $(-2,-9)$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Vertex Form of a Vertical Parabola:</u>

$y=a(x-h)^2+k$

Vertex -> $(h,k)$

Axis of Symmetry -> $x=h$

Vertical Scale Factor -> $a$

To turn $f(x)=x^2+4x-5$ into vertex form, we need to complete the square on the right side
Therefore, if $f(x)=0$ , then $0+9=x^2+4x-5+9$ completes the square on the right side
This becomes $9=(x+2)^2$
This means that our function in vertex form is $f(x)=(x+2)^2-9$
