Answer: Length = 11

              Width = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the unknown length.

Let x - 2 represent the unknown width.

The perimeter is equal to 2 times x + (x -2)

Equation:

2 (x + (x - 2)) = 40

x + (x - 2) = 40/2

x + x - 2 = 20

2x - 2 = 20

2x -2 + 2 = 20 + 2

The length is: 2x = 22 -> x = 22/2 -> x = 11

The width is: x - 2 = 9

Find f if f ''(x) = 12x2 + 6x − 4, f(0) = 5, and f(1) = 4.
Taya2010 [7]
This is a differential equations problem.  We are to work backwards and determine the function f(x) when given f "(x) and initial values.

<span>f ''(x) = 12x^2 + 6x − 4, when integrated with respect to x, yields:

                x^3        x^2
f '(x) = 12------ + 6----- - 4x + C, or 4x^3 + 3x^2 - 4x + C, and
                  3            2

             x^4         x^3        x^2
f(x) = 4------- + 3------- - 4------ + Cx + D, or f(x)=x^4 + x^3 - 2x^2 + Cx + D
               4              3         2

Now, because f(0)=5, 5=0^4 + 0^3 -2(0)^2 + C(0) + D, so that D=5.
Determine D in the same manner:  Let x=1 and find the value of C.

Then the solution, f(x), is x^4 + x^3 - 2x^2 + Cx + 5.  Replace C with this value and then you'll have the desired function f(x).</span>

The length of a rectangle is 10 yd less than three times the width, and the area of the rectangle is 77 yd^2. Find the dimension
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

W=7 and L=11

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two unknowns so we must create two equations.

First the problem states that  length of a rectangle is 10 yd less than three times the width so: L= 3w-10

Next we are given the area so: L X W = 77

Then solve for the variable algebraically. It is just a system of equations.

3W^2 - 10W - 77 = 0

(3W + 11)(W - 7) = 0

W = -11/3 and/or W=7

Discard the negative solution as the width of the rectangle cannot be less then 0.

So W=7

Plug that into the first equation.

3(7)-10= 11 so L=11

Find the area of the kite! Will mark brainliest
Andrew [12]

Answer:

187.06 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of kite:

½ × d1 × d2

½d1 = 18sin(30)

½d1 = 9

d1 = 18

d2 = 9/tan(60) + 18cos(30)

= 12sqrt(3)

Area = ½ × 18 × 12sqrt(3)

108sqrt(3) units²

187.0614872 units²
