Hello,

Let's w the width , l the length, p the perimeter.

w=l-5
p=2(l+w)=2(l+l-5)=4l-10

4l-10=122
==>4l=122+10
==>4l=132
==>l=132/4
==>l=33
So w=33-5=28

Proof:
2*(33+28)=2*61=122

$-5x^2+3x = -3x^2 +3x -50\\\\\implies 5x^2-3x^2 +3x-3x -50 =0\\\\\implies 2x^2 -50 =0\\\\\implies x^2 -25 = 0\\\\\implies x^2 = 25\\\\\implies x = \pm5\\\\\text{Hence}~ x = 5~ \text{or}~ x = -5$

Steph,andra,emily,and becca are planning a road trip from their hometown to san antonio

morpeh [17]

Answer:

a. Emily should begin her turn as the third driver at point (1, -0.5).

b. Emily's turn to drive end at point (-2.5, -3.75).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let assume that the group of girls travels from their hometown to San Antonio in a straight line. We know that each location is, respectively:

Hometown

$H(x,y) = (8,6)$

San Antonio

$T(x,y) = (-6,-7)$

Then, we can determine the end of each girl's turn to drive by the following vectorial expression based on the vectorial equation of the line:

Steph

$S(x,y) = H(x,y) + \frac{1}{4}\cdot [T(x,y)-H(x,y)]$ (1)

$S(x,y) = (8,6) + \frac{1}{4}\cdot [(-6,-7)-(8,6)]$

$S(x,y) = (8,6) +\frac{1}{4}\cdot (-14,-13)$

$S(x,y) = (4.5,2.75)$

Andra

$A(x,y) = H(x,y) + \frac{2}{4}\cdot [T(x,y)-H(x,y)]$ (2)

$A(x,y) = (8,6) + \frac{2}{4}\cdot [(-6,-7)-(8,6)]$

$A(x,y) = (8,6)+\frac{2}{4}\cdot (-14,-13)$

$A(x,y) =(1, -0.5)$

Emily

$E(x,y) = H(x,y) + \frac{3}{4}\cdot [T(x,y)-H(x,y)]$ (3)

$E(x,y) = (8,6) + \frac{3}{4}\cdot [(-6,-7)-(8,6)]$

$E(x,y) = (8,6)+\frac{3}{4}\cdot (-14,-13)$

$E(x,y) = (-2.5, -3.75)$

a. <em>If the girls take turns driving and each girl drives the same distance, at what point should they stop from Emily to begin her turn as the third driver? </em>

Emily's beginning point is the Andra's stop point, that is, $A(x,y) =(1, -0.5)$ .

Emily should begin her turn as the third driver at point (1, -0.5).

b. <em>At what point does Emily's turn to drive end?</em>

Emily's turn to drive end at point (-2.5, -3.75).
