Answer:

The length is 6 feet and the width is 4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of the yard

The width can be represented by x - 2, since it is 2 less than the length.

Use the perimeter formula, P = 2l + 2w, where l is the length and w is width

Plug in the expressions and perimeter:

20 = 2x + 2(x - 2)

Solve for x:

20 = 2x + 2x - 4

20 = 4x - 4

24 = 4x

6 = x

So, the length is 6. Plug this into x - 2 to find the width

x - 2

6 - 2

= 4

So, the length is 6 feet and the width is 4 feet

Given the two functions, which statement is true?
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = \text{log}_{15}x

Transformed form of the function 'f' is 'g'.

g(x) = \frac{1}{2}\text{log}_{15}(x+4)

Property of vertical stretch or compression of a function,

k(x) = x

Transformed function → m(x) = kx

Here, k = scale factor

1). If k > 1, function is vertically stretched.

2). If 0 < k < 1, function is vertically compressed.

From the given functions, k = \frac{1}{2}

Since, k is between 0 and \frac{1}{2}, function f(x) is vertically compressed by a scale factor \frac{1}{2}.

g(x) = f(x + 4) represents a shift of function 'f' by 4 units left.

g(x) = f(x - 4) represents a shift of function 'f' by 4 units right.

g(x) = \frac{1}{2}\text{log}_{15}(x+4)

Therefore, function f(x) has been shifted by 4 units left to form image function g(x).

Option D is the answer.
