Did you mean :
f(x) = x² - 2x, find x = -3
f(-3) = (-3)² - 2(-3)
f(-3) = 9 + 6
f(-3) = 15
Answer:
20 ft by 60 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
"What should the dimensions of the garden be to maximize this area?"
If y is the length of the garden, parallel to the stream, and x is the width of the garden, then the amount of fencing is:
120 = 3x + y
And the area is:
A = xy
Use substitution:
A = x (120 − 3x)
A = -3x² + 120x
This is a downward facing parabola. The maximum is at the vertex, which we can find using x = -b/(2a).
x = -120 / (2 · -3)
x = 20
When x = 20, y = 60. So the garden should be 20 ft by 60 ft.
Answer:
9.233 ft, 23.233 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
If the shorter leg is x, then the longer leg is x+14 and the Pythagorean theorem tells you ...
x^2 + (x +14)^2 = 25^2
2x^2 +28x +196 = 625
x^2 +14x = 214.5
x^2 +14x +49 = 263.5
(x +7)^2 = 263.5
x = -7 +√263.5 ≈ 9.23268
The two leg lengths are √263.5 ± 7 feet, {9.23 ft, 23.23 ft}.
Answer:
a.- slope= 36
Interpretation : The cable car travels 36 meter per minute
b.- y = 36x + 100
c.- 640 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
a.-
Find slope using the slope formula : 
Plug in the two given points: 
Subtract the numbers : 
Reduce the fraction : 36
b.-
Using the given y-interspet (100) and the slope create an equation: y = 36x + 100
c.-
Using the equation you created plug in 15 for x to find the
distance: y = 36 (15) + 100
Multiply the numbers : y = 540 + 100
Add the numbers : y = 640
It's not necessary that either one represents a proportional
relationship. But if either one does, then the other one doesn't.
They can't both represent such a relationship.
The graph of a proportional relationship must go through
the origin. If one of a pair of parallel lines goes through
the origin, then the other one doesn't. (If two parallel lines
both went through the origin, then they would both be the
same line.)
