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

1a) f(x) = I x+2 I. This is a piece-wise graph ( V form)
      x = 0 →f(x) =2 (intercept y-axis)
      x = -2→f(x) = 0 (intercept x-axis)
      x = -3→f(x) = 1 (don't forget this is in absolute numbers)
      x = -4→f(x) = 2 (don't forget this is in absolute numbers)
Now you can graph the V graph

1b) Translation: x to shift (-3) units and y remains the same, then
      f(x-3) = I x - 3 + 2 I = I x-1 I
     the V graph will shift one unit to the right, keeping the same y. Proof:
     f(x) = I x-1 I . Intercept x-axis when I x-1 I = 0, so x= 1

Please help! can you explain it to me?
Semenov [28]

Answer:

It is increasing before x = -2 and from x = 0 to x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Option 1 - you can see the line going down starting at -2 and that means the line is decreasing but the choice says "It is increasing before x = 0". This contradicts the actual graph.

Option 2 - The line isn't increasing before x= -1, it's actually decreasing as seen in the graph.

Option 3 - The line doesn't even touch the point before x = -3 so this choice makes no sense.

Option 4 - Since all the other choices were eliminated this is the only choice standing. Looking at the line it is increasing before x = -2.

Ryan estimates the measurements of the volume of a container to be 36 cubic inches. the original volume of the popcorn container
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

  • difference: -4 cubic inches
  • % change: -10%

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between the new volume and the original volume is ...

  (new volume) - (original volume) = (36 in³) - (40 in³) = -4 in²

__

The percentage change is figured with respect to the original volume:

  % change = (difference)/(original volume) × 100% = (-4 in³)/(40 in³) × 100%

  = -1/10 × 100% = -10%
