Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the other side of the rectangle be y. The perimeter of the rectangle is expressed as P = 2(x+y)

Given P = 30ft, on substituting P = 30 into the expression;

30 = 2(x+y)

x+y = 15

y = 15-x

Also since the area of the rectangle is xy;

A = xy

Substitute y = 15-x into the area;

A = x(15-x)

A = 15x-x²

The function that models its area A in terms of the length x of one of its sides is A = 15x-x²

The side of length x yields the greatest area when dA/dx = 0

dA/dx = 15-2x

15-2x = 0

-2x = -15

x = -15/-2

x = 7.5 ft

Hence the side length, x that yields the greatest area is 7.5ft.

Since y = 15-x

y = 15-7.5

y = 7.5

Area of the rectangle = 7.5*7.5

Area of the rectangle = 56.25ft²

2.<br> Which of the functions below is an inverse of the quadratic function f(x) = x2 - 3 ?
mezya [45]

Answer:

the inverse of the quadratic function f(x) = x^2 - 3  is \mathbf{f^{-1}(x)=\pm \sqrt{x+3}}

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find inverse of the quadratic function f(x) = x^2 - 3

Let

y=x^2-3

Replace x and y

x=y^2-3

Now, we will solve for y

Adding 3 on both sides

x+3=y^2-3+3

x+3=y^2

Taking square root on both sides

\sqrt{y^2}=\sqrt{x+3}\\y=\pm \sqrt{x+3}

Now replace y with f^{-1}(x)

f^{-1}(x)=\pm \sqrt{x+3}

So, the inverse of the quadratic function f(x) = x^2 - 3  is \mathbf{f^{-1}(x)=\pm \sqrt{x+3}}

For this case we must indicate the factors of the following expression:

x ^ 2-12x-20

To factor we must find two numbers that when multiplied result in -20 and when added, result in -12.

There are no two numbers that meet this condition. Thus, the expression is not factorizable with rational numbers.

Answer:

The expression is not factorizable with rational numbers.

Find the value of x. Then, find the measure of each labelled angle.
wolverine [178]

Answer:

x = 7deg

Step-by-step explanation:

7x + 10 + 15x + 16 = 180 (angles adjacent to each other in a //polygon are supplementary)

22x = 154

x = 7deg

This is a question on polygons and angles. If you wish to venture further into it/understand this topic better, you may want to follow my Instagram account (learntionary), where I post some of my own notes on certain topics and also some tips that may be useful to you :)
