To solve this problem, we need to create an equation.

|x| + 1 = -2. This cannot be solved because no matter what x is equal to, it has to be greater than 0. A negative outcome is impossible.

There is no number that has an absolute value plus one that equals -2.

Given the function h(x), determine the functions which correctly decompose h(x) into component functions f(x) and g(x) so that h

nataly862011 [7]

$\text{Hi there! :)}$

$\large\boxed{g(x) = 7x + 2\text{ , } f(x) = \sqrt{x} - 10}$

$\text{h(x) = f(g(x)), so determine what g(x) was substituted into f(x):}\\\\\text{Given the equation } h(x) = \sqrt{7x +2}- 10:\\\\\text{In the part of the equation with a variable, we see that "7x + 2" is in a square root:}$

$\text{Therefore, we can say that g(x) = 7x + 2:}\\\\\text{If h(x) = f(7x + 2), then f(x) must be:}\\\\f(x) = \sqrt{x} - 10$

$\text{The respective functions would be:}\\\\g(x) = 7x + 2\\\\f(x) = \sqrt{x} - 10$

Which expression represents this word phrase? eight less than the quotient of x and 3 x−83 8−x3 x3−8 3x−8

lozanna [386]

Quotient is basically the answer produced when dividing two numbers.

For example, the quotient of 6 and 3 is 2 because when I divide 6 by 3, I get 2.

Eight less than the quotient of x and 3 = $\frac{x}{3} - 8$

A rectangle has a length that is 2 meters more than the width. The area of the rectangle is 288 square meters. Find the dimensio

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

L = 18 and w = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is found by A = l*w. Since the length here is 2 more than the width or 2 + w and the width is w, substitute these values and A = 288 to solve for w.

$A = l*w\\288 = w(2+w)\\288 = w^2 + 2w$

To solve for w, move 288 to the other side by subtraction. Then factor and solve.

$w^2 + 2w - 288 = 0 \\(w +18)(w-16) = 0\\$

Set each factor equal to 0 and solve.

w - 16 = 0 so w = 16

w + 18 = 0 so w = -18

Since w is a side length and length/distance cannot be negative, then w = 16 is the width of the rectangle.

This means the length is 16 + 2 = 18.
