The perimeter of a rectangular flower garden is 66m and its area is 272m^2. Find the length of the garden.

So we have lengths a and b and are given:

2a+2b = 66 => a+b = 33 => a= 33-b
a*b = 272

plug in one into the other:

(33-b)b = 272 => -b^2 +33b - 272 = 0

Can be factored as (b-16)(b-17) = 0, if you don't "see" this immediately, use the well known abc formula to find b.

So a=16 and b=17 or vice versa.

System of equations, special case infinitely many solutions?????
Mashcka [7]

One possible system is

1x + 3y = 4

2x + 6y = 8

Note how 2 is twice as large as 1, 6 is twice as large as 3, and 8 is twice as large as 4.

In other words, the second equation is the result of multiplying both sides of the first equation by 2.

1x+3y = 4

2*(1x+3y) = 2*4

2x+6y = 8

Effectively the two equations in bold are the same which produces the same line. The two lines overlap perfectly to intersect infinitely many times. An intersection is a solution.

What is the equation in point-slope form for the line parallel to y=-8x - 5 that contains j(-2, 9)
Julli [10]

Answer:

y - 9 = -8(x + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

What is the equation in point-slope form for the line parallel to y=-8x - 5 that contains j(-2, 9)

Step 1

y intercept =

y = mx + b

y=-8x - 5

m = -8, b = -5

Point slope form

y - y1 =m( x - x1)

We are given coordinates:

j(-2, 9) = (x1, y1) where ,

x1 = -2

y1 = 9

Hence, our point slope form equation is:

y - 9 = -8(x -(-2))

y - 9 = -8(x + 2)
