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

Step-by-step explanation:

f(3)=?

f(x)=2x+5

put x=3,

f(3)=2(3)+5=6+5=11

------------

g(2)=?

g(x)=x^2-3

put x=2,

g(2)=2^2-3=4-3=1

-----------------

g(f(-1))=?

g(x)=x^2-3

and f(-1)=2(-1)+5= -2+5=3

so g(f(-1))=3^2-3=9-3=6

----------------

f(g(-1))=?

f(x)=2x+5

g(x)=g(-1)=(-1)^2-3=1-3= -2

f(g(-1))=2(-2)+5= -4+5=1

----------------

g(f(x))=?

g(x)= x^2-3

put x=f(x),

g(f(x))=f(x)^2-3=(2x+5)^2-3=4x+25+20x-3=24x+25

Whats the slope of this line?
zhannawk [14.2K]
Slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (10 - 70)/(5 - (-15)) = -60/(5 + 15) = -60/20 = -3
