Answer:

To find the area of a regular polygon, all you have to do is follow this simple formula: area = 1/2 x perimeter x apothem. Here is what it means: Perimeter = the sum of the lengths of all the sides. Apothem = a segment that joins the polygon's center to the midpoint of any side that is perpendicular to that side.

Solve for |2x + 4|-1=7

Rudik [331]

Answer:

x = - 6 or x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value function always returns a positive value. However, the expression inside can be positive or negative.

Given

| 2x + 4 | - 1 = 7 ( add 1 to both sides )

| 2x + 4 | = 8, thus

2x + 4 = 8 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

2x = 4 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 2

-(2x + 4) = 8

- 2x - 4 = 8 ( add 4 to both sides )

- 2x = 12 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

x = - 6

As a check

Substitute these values into the left side of the equation and if equal to the right side then they are the solutions.

x = 2 → | 4 + 4 | - 1 = | 8 | - 1 = 8 - 1 = 7 ← True

x = - 6 → | - 12 + 4 | - 1 = | - 8 | - 1 = 8 - 1 = 7 ← True

Hence the solutions are x = - 6 or x = 2

What is the y-value of the vertex of the function f(x)=−(x−3)(x+11)? −8 −4 33 49

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

y - value of the vertex is 49.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function is f(x) = -(x - 3)(x + 11)

f(x) = -(x² - 3x + 11x - 33)

= -(x² + 8x - 33)

= -(x² + 8x + 16 - 49)

= -[(x + 4)² - 49]

= -(x + 4)² + 49

Comparing this equation with the vertex form of a quadratic function,

f(x) = -(x - h)² + k

Where (h, k) is the vertex of the function.

Vertex of the parabola is (-4, 49)

Therefore, y-value of the vertex is 49.

The perimeter of a rectangular metal plate is 15 cm. Find the length of the rectangular plate (in decimals) whose width is 228 c

scoray [572]

The Solution.

Representing the problem in a diagram, we have

By formula,

$P=2(L+W)$

In this case,

$P=15\operatorname{cm},L=?,W=\frac{22}{8}cm$

Substituting these values in the formula above, we get

$15=2(L+\frac{22}{8})$

Clearing the bracket, we get

$15=2L+(2\times\frac{22}{8})$ $\begin{gathered} 15=2L+\frac{11}{2} \\ \\ 15=2L+5.5 \end{gathered}$ $\begin{gathered} 15-5.5=2L \\ 9.5=2L \end{gathered}$

Dividing both sides by 2, we get
