the width of a rectangle is 4 inches less than the length ,the perimeter is 48,what is the dimensions?

zalisa [80]

Answer: 10 inches × 14 inches

Work:

length = x inches
width = x - 4 inches
perimeter = 2(l+w)

48 = 2[(x)+(x - 4)]
48 = 2(2x - 4)
24 = 2x - 4
28 = 2x
14 = x

length = x inches = 14 inches
width = x - 4 inches = 14 - 4 = 10 inches

Write a quadratic equation with the given roots. Write the equation in the form of ax^2+bx+c=0 where a b and c are integers

Bas_tet [7]

You haven't provided the required roots, but I can tell you how to do this kind of exercises in general.

If the $x^2$ coefficient is 1, i.e. the equation is written like $x^2+bx+c=0$ , then you can say the following about the coefficients b and c:

$b$ is the opposite of the sum of the roots
$c$ is the multiplication of the roots.

So, for example, if we want an equation whose roots are 4 and -2, we have:

$4+(-2) = 4-2 = 2 \implies b = -2$
$4 \cdot (-2) = -8 \implies c = -8$

So, the equation is $x^2-2x-8=0$

If your roots are rational, you can work like this: suppose you want an equation with roots 3/4 and 1/2. You have:

$\dfrac{3}{4}+\dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{3}{4}+\dfrac{2}{4} = \dfrac{5}{4} \implies b = -\dfrac{5}{4}$
$\dfrac{3}{4} \cdot \dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{3}{8} \implies c = \dfrac{3}{8}$

And so the equation is

$x^2 - \dfrac{5}{4} + \dfrac{3}{8} = 0$

In order to have integer coefficients, you can multiply both sides of the equation by 8:

$8x^2 - 10 + 3 = 0$

Ashraf attends a local festival, which has an entrance fee. Each game costs

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

2 + 2x = y

Step-by-step explanation:

I think you're saying the entrance fee is $2. This is the constant. If each game costs an additional $2 per game, that would translate into 2x - or 2 * the number of games. This results in the slope-intercept form equation of: 2+2x=y
