Answer:

L = 18 and w = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is found by A = l*w. Since the length here is 2 more than the width or 2 + w and the width is w, substitute these values and A = 288 to solve for w.

A = l*w\\288 = w(2+w)\\288 = w^2 + 2w

To solve for w, move 288 to the other side by subtraction. Then factor and solve.

w^2 + 2w  - 288 = 0 \\(w +18)(w-16) = 0\\

Set each factor equal to 0 and solve.

w - 16 = 0 so w = 16

w + 18 = 0 so w = -18

Since w is a side length and length/distance cannot be negative, then w = 16 is the width of the rectangle.

This means the length is 16 + 2 = 18.

What is the equation of the parabola?
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

y = -1/8 x² + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Parabola opens vertically and vertex (h,k) = (0,5), pass point (4,3)

basic formula: y = a(x - h)² + k

y = a (x-0)² + 5

y = ax² + 5         pass (4,3)

3 = 16a + 5

a = (3-5)/16 = -1/8

equation: y = -1/8 x² + 5

check: pass another point (-4,3)

-1/8 * (-4)² + 5 = -2 + 5 = 3

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

458

Step-by-step explanation:

Margin of error = critical value × standard error

At 99% confidence, the critical value is z = 2.576.

The standard error is σ/√n = 5.4/√n.

Given the desired margin of error is 0.65:

0.65 = 2.576 × 5.4/√n

n = 458
