5 meters. The area of the sidewalk has to be 10 meters and has to contain the 20 meter sandbox. The total area is thirty meters, so the length and width of the sidewalk is 6x5

Svetllana [295]

Answer: 1. x=2

 2. x=5    

 3.x=-3

Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.

Move all terms not containing x    to the right side of the equation.

Hope this helped

Can you help me create a polynomial function matching the criteria on the left please and thanks
Olenka [21]

Answer:

f(x) = \dfrac{1}{8}(x + 4)^2(x + 1)(x - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

From inspection of the graph, we can see that the curve intercepts the x-axis at (-4, 0), (-1, 0) and (3, 0)

Therefore,

x = -4 ⇒ x + 4 = 0

x = -1 ⇒ x + 1 = 0

x = 3 ⇒ x - 3 = 0

Because (-4, 0) touches the x-axis, then (x + 4)² will be a factor

So (x + 4)², (x + 1) and (x - 3) are all factors of the polynomial

\implies f(x) = \dfrac{1}{n}(x + 4)^2(x + 1)(x - 3)

If we multiply the constants, this will give us the y-intercept:

⇒ 4² x 1 x -3 = -48

From inspection of the graph, the y-intercept is -6

So to get from -48 to -6 we need to multiply -48 by 1/8

Therefore, n = 1/8

\implies f(x) = \dfrac{1}{8}(x + 4)^2(x + 1)(x - 3)

Y=-2x²-8x-5 domain and range
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

Domain: All real numbers

Range: y≤3

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

y =  - 2 {x}^{2}  - 8x - 5

This is a polynomial function.

The domain is set of all values of x, that makes this function defined.

Since polynomial functions are defined everywhere, the domain is all real numbers.

To find the range we put the function in vertex form:

y =  - 2( {x}^{2}  + 4x) - 5

y =  - 2( {x}^{2}  + 4x + 4) - 5 +  - 4 \times  - 2

y =  - 2( {x}  + 2)^{2} - 5 + 8

y =  - 2( {x}  + 2)^{2}  +  3

The maximum value is 3

The function turns downward, hence the range is:

y \leqslant 3
