Area=l*b=l*(l-2)=80(given)

so, l^2 - 2l =80
   l^2 - 2l - 80=0
   l=10 or -8

l=10,b=10-2=8
perimeter=2(l+b)=2(18)=36

Explain the steps used to solve x - 2 = v(x + 10) and check for extraneous solutions.

---------------------------------------------------
Question
---------------------------------------------------
x - 2 = √<span>(x + 10) 

---------------------------------------------------
Square both sides
</span>---------------------------------------------------
(x - 2)² = (√(x + 10))²
(x - 2)² = (x + 10)   ← square and square root would will net off each other

---------------------------------------------------
Remove brackets
---------------------------------------------------
x² - 4x + 2² = x + 10
x² - 4x + 4 = x + 10

---------------------------------------------------
minus x + 10 on both sides
---------------------------------------------------
x² - 4x + 4 - x - 10 = 0
x² - 5x - 6 = 0

---------------------------------------------------
Factorise the left side
---------------------------------------------------
(x - 6)(x + 1) = 0

---------------------------------------------------
Apply zero product property 
---------------------------------------------------
x -6 = 0  or  x +1 = 0

---------------------------------------------------
Solve x
---------------------------------------------------
x = 6 or x = -1

---------------------------------------------------
Answer: x = 6 or x = -1

suppose a parabola has an axis of symmetry at x=-2, a maximum height of 8, passes through the point (-6, 2). Wrire the equation
Virty [35]

Answer:

y = -3/8(x + 2)^2 + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

vertex form is

y = a(x - b)^2 + c     where a is a constant and (b,c) is the vertex.

The maximum is at (-2, 8)  because x 8 = height and x =-2 is equn. of symmetry

So here we have

y = a(x - (-2))^2 + 8

y = a(x + 2)^2 + 8

Now at the point (-6, 2):

2 = a(-6+2)^2 + 8

2 = 16a + 8

16a = -6

1 = -3/8.

So our equation is y = 3/8(x + 2)^2 + 8

Five numbers has a mean of 12. When one (1) number is removed the mean is 11. What is the value of the number removed?
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean of a group of values is calculated as

mean = \frac{sum}{count}

Given 5 numbers with a mean of 12, then

\frac{sum}{5} = 12 ( multiply both sides by 5 )

sum = 60

let the number removed be x , then

\frac{60-x}{4} = 11 ( multiply both sides by 4 )

60 - x = 44 ( subtract 60 from both sides )

- x = - 16 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

x = 16

The number removed was 16

Write an equation in point-slope form for the line through the given point with the given slope. (5,2);m=3
Sloan [31]
Point-slope form is (y - y1) = m(x - x1) so just plug in your given info:

y - 2 = 3(x - 5)

so your answer is D!!
