Answer:

7cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = Length x width

A = 35

w= L - 2

L = w+ 2

Now it becomes

35 = ( w+2) x w

35 = w^2 + 2w

W^2 + 2w - 35 = 0

By Factorization we have

( w + 7)( w-5)

w = 5cm

Since L = w + 2, we have

L = 5 + 2

= 7cm

Which equation below does NOT represent a function of X A) x=y^2 B) y=x C) y = |x| D) y=x^2 E) y=1

vlabodo [156]

Answer:

A) $x = y^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

An equation is a function of $x$ when $x$ is the independent variable, that is:

$y = f(x)$ (1)

Where $y$ is the dependent variable.

According to this, $x = y^{2}$ does not represent a function of $x$ , since the independent variable is a function of $y$ , that is, $x = f(y)$ . Therefore, the correct answer is A.
