A=LW, and we are told that L=W+10

Using L=W+10 in A=LW you have:

A=(W+10)W

A=W^2+10W

W^2+10W=880, we are told that A=880 so

W^2+10W=880 now we can complete the square...

W^2+10W+25=905

(W+5)^2=905

W+5=±√905

W=-5±√905, since W>0

W=-5+√905 and since L=W+10

L=5+√905

W=-5+√905 ft and L=5+√905 ft

If we want an approximation:

W≈25.08 ft and L≈35.08 ft (both dimensions to the nearest hundredth)

What is the missing side length in this right triangle?

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

A. 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Ooh, look! This triangle is a Pythagorean triple! Without even needing to use a formula, I can tell that you are correct and the answer is A. 15.

It's based off of a 3-4-5 right triangle, because 9-12-15 simplifies to that if you divide every term by 3. It's basically just a bigger version of a 3-4-5 triangle! Isn't math cool:)

3(x-6)^4+11=15 solve for x

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

x = 7.07 or 4.925

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x-6)^4+11=15

3(x-6)^4=15-11

(x-6)^4=4/3

x-6 = + $\sqrt[4]{4/3}$ or - $\sqrt[4]{4/3}$

x= + $\sqrt[4]{4/3}$ +6 or - $\sqrt[4]{4/3}$ +6

x = 7.07 or 4.925

Let f(x) = –4x and g(x) = 5x2. Andrew finds the composition [f o g](x) as shown below. What error did Andrew make? = 5(–4x)2 = 5

Elden [556K]

F(g(x)) means you take the g function and put it into x in the f function. He took the function and put it into the g, which was the incorrect order. He should have had this: $f(g(x))=-4(5x^2)$
