Answer:

She should make a rectangle with dimensions 14.4 cm by 4.2 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The diagonal of a rectangle is represented by \sqrt{length^2+width^2}.
  • Area of rectangle is = length×width
  • Perimeter of a  rectangle = 2(length+width).

Assume x be the width of the rectangle.

The length of the rectangle is to be 6 cm more than twice the width.

The length of the rectangle is= (2x+6) cm

Then the diagonal of the rectangle is \sqrt{length^2+width^2}

                                                             =\sqrt{(2x+6)^2+x^2}

                                                            =\sqrt{4x^2+24x+36+x^2}

                                                             =\sqrt{5x^2+24x+36} cm

According to the problem,

\sqrt{5x^2+24x+36}=15

Squaring both sides

\Rightarrow{5x^2+24x+36}=15^2

\Rightarrow{5x^2+24x+36}=225

\Rightarrow{5x^2+24x+36-225=0

\Rightarrow{5x^2+24x-189=0

⇒5x²+45x-21x-189=0

⇒5x(x+9)-21(x+9)=0

⇒(x+9)(5x-21)=0

⇒x+9=0  or,   5x-21=0

\Rightarrow x=-9, \frac{21}5

⇒x= -9, 4.2

Since the width of a rectangle can not negative.

So, x=4.2 cm

The width of rectangle is = 4.2 cm

The length of the rectangle is =(2×4.2+6)

                                                  =14.4 cm

She should make a rectangle with dimensions 14.4 cm by 4.2 cm.

Answer:

(-4,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to find a common multiple to use to add and find the system of equations. We need to eliminate one of the variables in order to solve.

Since 5 * 3 = 15, and 3 * -5 = 15, -15x and 15x will cancel each other out. Therefore x will be eliminated.

Before:

5x + 2y = -16

3x + 7y = 2

After:

15x + 6y = -48   <----------Now we solve for y

-15x + -35y = -10

+----------------------

-29y = -58

-29      -29

y = 2

Now what we do is we choose and equation and solve for x, since it is still unknown. Any equation is fine but I will choose the second one since it has easy numbers.

3x + 7y = 2

3x + 7(2) = 2

3x + 14 = 2

   -14     -14

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

3x = -12

3        3

x = -4

Therefore our final answer is (-4,2)

Derive the equation of the parabola with a focus at (2, 4) and a directrix of y = 8.
4vir4ik [10]
Directrix y = 8
 It is a horizontal line  so the parabola is vertical. 
<span>The focus (2, 4) lies below the directrix,
Therefore parabola opens downwards. </span>
<span>vertex will be  halfway between focus and directrix, at (2, 6) </span>
<span>focal length =p
= distance between focus and vertex
= 2 </span>
<span>y = (-1/(4p))(x - 2)² + 6 </span>
<span>y = (-1/8)(x - 2)² + 6
hope this helps</span>
