With respect to the parent function,
y = 1/(x+5) +2
is translated 5 units left and 2 units up.
To getyour answer, just divided 3.24 by 12. You will get 0.27. So the answer is each pencil costs 27 cents or 0.27.
Let the width be x, then the length is x + 12.
Area = length x width = x(x + 12) = 589
Solving the quadratic equation, we have that
x = 19 feet
i.e. the width is 19 feet.
