Answer:

length=4

width=30

Step-by-step explanation:

length=x

width=8x-2

(8x-2)*2+2x=68

16x-4+2x=68

18x=72

x=4 (Length)

4*8=32, 32-2=30(width)

Answer:

length=4 cm

Width=30 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, I am glad I can help you with this.

Step one

define the equations

the perimeter of a rectangle is given by:

Perimeter=2*length+2*width

Let

Perimeter (P)

length(L)

Width(W)

P=2L+2W

68=2L+2W,equation (1)

The width of a rectangle is 2 cm less than 8 times the length, in other words, you can take the width and add 2 cm to find 8 times the length,in mathematical terms it is

W+2=8L, isolating W

W=8L-2,equation (2)

Step two

use equation (1) and equation (2) to find L and W

replace W from equation (2) into equation (1)

68=2L+2(8L-2)

68=2L+16L-4

68=18L-4

isolating L

68+4=18L

72/18=L

L=4 cm

replace the value of L in equation (2)

W=8L-2

W=8(4 )-2

W=32-2

W=30 cm

Hence,

length=4 cm

Width=30 cm

Have a good day.

WILL DO ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING FOR THIS ONE HELP ASAP TIMES
Rina8888 [55]

Given:

The graph of a function y=h(x).

To find:

The interval where h(x)>0.

Solution:

From the given graph graph it is clear that, the function before x=0 and after x=3.6 lies above the x-axis. So, h(x)>0 for x and x>3.6.

The function between x=0 and x=3.6 lies below the x-axis. So, h(x) for 0.

Now,

For -1, the graph of h(x) is above the x-axis. So, h(x)>0.

For 0, the graph of h(x) is below the x-axis. So, h(x).

For 1, the graph of h(x) is below the x-axis. So, h(x).

Only for the interval -1, we get h(x)>0.

Therefore, the correct option is A.
