Lets say w is the width of the flower bed. We can make an equation to find the area.
The length of the of the flower bed is (w+5) and the width is w.
To find the area we need to multiply the length(w+5) by the width(w) and set it equal to 84,
(w+5)(w)=84
w^2 +5w=84
Using the quadratic equation you get the solutions of 7 and -12. Since 7 is positive it is our width. Our length is 7+5 or 12.

Mulitpilicty is how many times a root repeats
factor
factor x first
x(2x^2+x-1)
using math
(x)(x+1)(2x-1)
no roots repeat
if it is equal to 0 then the roots are
0 multiplicty 1
-1 multiplicty 1
1/2 multiplicty 1
Answer: No, the friend is correct. In any function, each input value can only lead to one output value. When you input 3 for the x-values, you would get two output values because 3 is included in both equations. To fix this, you need to have the 3 not included in one of the equations.
For example, you could say 
or 
because the input value of 3 would not be included twice.
If you look at the attached screenshot, you will see that if you keep your friend's function, inputting 3 will result in two outputs of 4 and -3, so therefore, 
cannot represent a piecewise function.
Answer:
1
Step-by-step explanation:
When you find the absolute value of -2, it is 2, since that is how far away from the point 0 on a line. When you divide 2 by 2, it equals 1.
