Answer:

Length = 55 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Area of rectangular floor= 605ft²

Length= x

Width= 1/5x

Formula for area of rectangular floor= Length × width

Put the given into the formula.

605 ft² = x × 1/5x

605 ft² = x²/5

multiplying both sides by 5

605 ft² × 5 = x²/5 × 5

x² = 605 ft² × 5

= 3025 ft²

x= √3025 ft²

x= 55 ft

Put x into the unknown above.

Length= x

Width= 1/5x

Length = 55 ft

Width= (1/5)×55 = 11 ft

A. This is the graph of a linear function.
seropon [69]

Answer:

B.  Graph of a one-to-one function.

Step-by-step explanation:

A one-to-one function will have a unique value, y, for each different value of x.  The graph displayed will have values very, very close to each other as x approaches ±4, but they won't be the same even at higher values of x.

Graph the function by first finding its zeroes. <br> y = x3- 2x2 + x
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

The zeros of the function are;

x = 0 and x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The zeroes of the function simply imply that we find the values of x for which the corresponding value of y is 0.

We let y be 0 in the given equation;

y = x^3 - 2x^2 + x

x^3 - 2x^2 + x = 0

We factor out x since x appears in each term on the Left Hand Side;

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

This implies that either;

x = 0 or

x^2 - 2x + 1 = 0

We can factorize the equation on the Left Hand Side by determining two numbers whose product is 1 and whose sum is -2. The two numbers by trial and error are found to be -1 and -1. We then replace the middle term by these two numbers;

x^2 -x -x +1 = 0

x(x-1) -1(x-1) = 0

(x-1)(x-1) = 0

x-1 = 0

x = 1

Therefore, the zeros of the function are;

x = 0 and x = 1

The graph of the function is as shown in the attachment below;
