if we increased one side of a square by 5 units and decreased the other by 3 units the area of the resulting rectangle would be

Answer:

18 units

Step-by-step explanation:

So let's list out the sides.

for the first square let's just call them x

for the second square then they would be x+5 and x-3

So let's write out their areas we will cal the area of the first one z

x*x = z

(x+5)*(x-3) = z+21

since z = x^2 we can set up the second equation as a quadratic.

(x+5)*(x-3) = x^2 + 21

x^2 - 3x + 5x - 15 = x^2 + 21

But look, the x^2s cancel out

2x - 15 = 21

2x = 36

x = 18

Test it out and see if it fits the description, And if you don't understand anything just let me know so I can explain more.

Answer:

the answer is: 6z^3

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve this equation:

\sqrt{36z^6}

We know that 6X6 = 36

and √ = 1/2

Solving:

=\sqrt{6*6*z*z*z*z*z*z}\\We\,\,know\,\,6X6=6^2\,\, and \,\,z*z=z^2\\=\sqrt{6^2*z^2*z^2*z^2} \\=(6^2)^{1/2}*(z^2)^{1/2}*(z^2)^{1/2}*(z^2)^{1/2}\\=6*z*z*z\\=6z^3

So, the answer is: 6z^3

Given the function graphed below, what is the average rate of change between f(3) and f(7)?
Shkiper50 [21]
Answer: choice D) 20

-------------------------------

Explanation:

Locate 3 on the x axis number line. Draw a vertical line through 3 and this vertical line will cross the parabola at some point P. Mark this point P on the parabola. Then draw a horizontal line from P to the y axis. The horizontal line will land on y = 10. In short, this all shows us that (3,10) is a point on this parabola.

Repeat those steps above, but now for x = 7. You'll see that (7,90) is another point on this parabola.

We need to find the slope of the line through the two points (3,10) and (7,90). The average rate of change from x = 3 to x = 7 is the same as the slope of the line through those two points.

To find the slope, we use the slope formula
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are the two points, and m is the slope

In this case,
(x1,y1) = (3,10) and (x2,y2) = (7,90)
further breaking down to
x1=3
y1=10
x2=7
y2=90
So we'll plug those four pieces of info into the equation and simplifying to get...
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (90 - 10)/(7 - 3)
m = 80/4
m = 20

The slope of the line is 20, so therefore, the average rate of change is 20.
