Answer:

The length of the rectangular playing field is 84 yards and the width is 44 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ------> the length of the rectangular playing field

y -----> the width of the rectangular playing field

we know that

The perimeter of the rectangular playing field is equal to

$P=2(x+y)$

$P=256\ yd$

so

$256=2(x+y)$ ------> equation A

we have that

$x=2y-4$ -----> equation B

Solve the system by substitution

Substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y

$256=2(2y-4+y)$

$128=3y-4$

$3y=128+4$

$3y=132$

$y=44$

Find the value of x

$x=2(44)-4=84$

therefore

The length of the rectangular playing field is 84 yards and the width is 44 yards

The graph of the continuous function g, the derivative of the function f, is shown above. The function g is piecewise linear for

4vir4ik [10]

A) $g=f'$ is continuous, so $f$ is also continuous. This means if we were to integrate $g$ , the same constant of integration would apply across its entire domain. Over $0$ , we have $g(x)=2x$ . This means that

$f_{0$

For $f$ to be continuous, we need the limit as $x\to1^-$ to match $f(1)=3$ . This means we must have

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to1}x^2+C=1+C=3\implies C=2$

Now, over $x$ , we have $g(x)=-3$ , so $f_{x$ , which means $f(-5)=17$ .

b) Integrating over [1, 3] is easy; it's just the area of a 2x2 square. So,

$\displaystyle\int_1^6g(x)=4+\int_3^62(x-4)^2\,\mathrm dx=4+6=10$

c) $f$ is increasing when $f'=g>0$ , and concave upward when $f''=g'>0$ , i.e. when $g$ is also increasing.

We have $g>0$ over the intervals $0$ and $x>4$ . We can additionally see that $g'>0$ only on $0$ and $x>4$ .

d) Inflection points occur when $f''=g'=0$ , and at such a point, to either side the sign of the second derivative $f''=g'$ changes. We see this happening at $x=4$ , for which $g'=0$ , and to the left of $x=4$ we have $g$ decreasing, then increasing along the other side.

We also have $g'=0$ along the interval $-1$ , but even if we were to allow an entire interval as a "site of inflection", we can see that $g'>0$ to either side, so concavity would not change.

Help me please this is for a math test. <br> Thank you

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

x + 3y = -12

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

m is the slope = rise / run:

rise = 1

run = 3

the line is downhill so its negative

m = - 1 / 3

b is the y intercept which is when the line cross over the y axis: - 4

y = - 1/3x - 4

multiply both sides by 3

3y = -1x - 12

add x to both sides

x + 3y = -12

PLEASE HELP ME!!!!! A quadrilateral with vertices (0,0), (4,0), (3,2), (1,1) is mapped to a quadrilateral with vertices (6,3).(-

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

( 2,1) is the center of dilation and -2 is the scale factor

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the formula

A' = k( x-a) +a, k( y-b)+b where ( a,b) is the center of dilation and k is the scale factor

(0,0) becomes (6,3)

( 6,3) = k( 0-a) +a, k( 0-b)+b

6 = -ka+a

3 = -kb+b

We also have

(4,0) becomes (-2,3)

( -2,3) = k( 4-a) +a, k( 0-b)+b

-2 =4k -ka+a

3 = -kb+b

Using these two equations

6 = -ka+a

-2 =4k -ka+a

Subtracting the top from the bottom

-2 =4k -ka+a

-6 = ka -a

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

-8 = 4k

Divide by 4

-8/4 = 4k/4

-2 = k

Now solving for a

6 = -ka +a

6 = - (-2)a +a

6 = 2a+a

6 = 3a

Divide by 3

6/3 =3a/3

2=a

Now finding b

3 = -kb+b

3 = -(-2)b+b

3 = 2b+b

3 = 3b

b=1

Bowl A contains 6 apples and 3 mangoes this can be written as, Bowl B contain 8 apples and 2 mangoes this can be written as. Wha

Andrew [12]

Answer:

Bowl B contains 2 apples more than Bowl A and Bowl A contains 1 mango more than Bowl B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of apples in Bowl A = 6

Number of mangoes in Bowl B = 8

Difference in apples = 8 - 6 = 2

So, Bowl B contains 2 apples more than Bowl A.

Number of mangoes in Bowl A = 3

Number of mangoes in Bowl B =2

Difference in mangoes = 3 - 2 = 1

So, Bowl A contains 1 mango more than Bowl B.
