Answer:

14.25 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a square= $l*b= (x-3)(x-3)=x^{2}-3x-3x+9=x^{2}-6x+9$

$x^{2}-6x+9=126.5625$

$x^{2}-6x-117.5625$

Solving the equation using quadratic equation then as attached

x=14.25 units

To prove

x-3=14.25-3= 11.25 units

area=11.25*11.25=126.5625 sq units

So remember that the distance formula is $\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$ .

$\sqrt{(4-4)^2+(-2-(-5))^2}\\ \sqrt{0^2+3^2}\\ \sqrt{0+9}\\ \sqrt{9}\\ 3$

Distance between (4,-5) and (4,-2) is 3 units.

$\sqrt{(1-(-1))^2+(1-4)^2}\\ \sqrt{2^2+(-3)^2}\\ \sqrt{4+9}\\ \sqrt{13}$

Distance between (1,1) and (-1,4) is √13 (or 3.61 rounded to the hundreths) units.

If f(x) = 4x ^ 2 and g(x) = x + 1 , find (fg)(x) ).

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

$\boxed{\sf \ C \ is \ the \ correct \ answer \ ! \ }$

Step-by-step explanation:

fog(x)=f(g(x))

so it comes

$f(g(x))=f(x+1)=4(x+1)^2$

<u>so C is the correct answer</u>

rock is thrown upward with a velocity of 27 meters per second from the top of a 23 meter high cliff and it misses the cliff on t

ahrayia [7]

the rock will be at 11 meters from the ground level after 5.92 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The motion of the rock is a free-fall motion, since the rock is acted upon the force of gravity only. Therefore, it is a uniformly accelerated motion, so its position at time t is given by the equation:

$y=h+ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

where

h = 23 m is the initial height

u = 27 m/s is the initial velocity, upward

$a=g=-9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity, downward

t is the time

We want to find the time t at which the position of the rock is

y = 11 m

Substituting and re-arranging the equation, we find

$11=23+27t-4.9t^2\\4.9t^2-27t-12=0$

This is a second-order equation, which has solutions:

$t=\frac{27\pm \sqrt{(-27)^2-4(4.9)(-12)}}{2(4.9)}=\frac{27\pm \sqrt{964.2}}{9.8}$

$t_1 = -0.41 s$

$t_2=5.92 s$

The first solution is negative so we neglect it: therefore, the rock will be at 11 meters from the ground level after 5.92 seconds.
