Answer: L = 18 and W = 12
Explanation:
Find the semi rectangle:
60/2 = 30
Now we can find the length and width using the semi rectangle:
L = 30 x 3/5 = 18
W = 30 x 2/5 = 12
Let x = John's age now
half of what johns age was 4 years ago: (1/2)(x-4)
is equal to one third of what it will be in 5 years time: (1/3)(x+5)
(1/2)(x-4) = (1/3)(x+5)
3(x-4) = 2(x+5)
3x - 12 = 2x + 10
Answer:
1a) f(x) = -1/3(x + 12)² + 9
1b) f(x) = -1/3x² - 8x - 39
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Algebra I</u>
Equality Properties
Expand by FOIL (First Outside Inside Last)
Standard Form: ax² + bx + c = 0
Transformations Graph: f(x) = a(bx - c)² + d
- a = vertical shrink/stretch
- b = horizontal shrink/stretch
- c = horizontal movement left/right
- d = vertical movement up/down
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
Reflected down and vertically stretched by 1/3: a = -1/3
Shifted vertically by 9 units: d = 9
Shifted horizontally by -12 units: c = -12
<u>Step 2: Write Vertex Form</u>
- Define: f(x) = a(bx - c)² + d
- Substitute: f(x) = -1/3(x + 12)² + 9
<u>Step 3: Write Standard Form</u>
- Define: f(x) = -1/3(x + 12)² + 9
- Expand: f(x) = -1/3(x² + 24x + 144) + 9
- Distribute -1/3: f(x) = -1/3x² - 8x - 48 + 9
- Combine like terms: f(x) = -1/3x² - 8x - 39
And we have our final answers!
