Step-by-step explanation:

length = x

width = 2x-8

b.) to get the area you need to multiply the length and the width.

l×w= area

x(2x-8)

2x^2-8x

c.) 2x^2-8x = 10

subtract 10 both sides

2x^2-8x-10 = 0

2(x^2-4x-5) = 0

2(x-5)(x+1) = 0

x = 5

the area would be 10.

Part C Now try this one. Write a description of the partitioned function using known function types, including transformations.

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

Following are the function description to the given question:

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given-question, three functions are used, that can be defined as follows:

In function 1:

This function is also known as the modulus on the absolute value function, for example:

$f(x)=| x| \left \{ {{x , \ \ \ x>0} \atop {-x, \ \ \ \x$

In the given in the above graph, that is $f(x) = -x , \ \ x$

In function 2:

In this function, It is an algebraic function that is $y=x^2$

It is also a part of the quadratic polynomial function, and its value is $y=x^2 , \ \ \ x> 0$

In function 3:

In this function, it is the cubic polynomial equation that's value is $y=x^3$

In the graph its value is:

$y=-x^3\\\\and \\ \\\to y= f(x) \\\\ \to y=-f(x)\\$

if there is a 4 smiley faces in pattern 1 and 6 smiley faces in pattern 2 and 8 smiley faces in pattern 3 how many smiley faces

mixer [17]

We technically can't tell! Just because a pattern (increasing by two faces for every new pattern) is true at first doesn't mean it holds forever. However, if we make the assumption that the number of smiley faces continues to increase by 2, we have 4+87*2=177 as the answer, since we start with four and continue through a total of 87 more patterns, each of which adds two more faces.
