Answer:

8 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed or Rate = Distance / time

Distance = Speed × time

Nicholas's sand castle is 30 cm tall and he is adding sand at a rate of 12 cm per minute.

Nicholas = Nina

30cm + (12cm/min)x

= 30 + 12x

Nina's sand castle is 78 cm tall and she is adding more sand to it at a rate of 6 cm per minute.

78cm + (6cm/min)x

78 + 6x

30 + 12x = 78 + 6x

12x - 6x = 78 - 30

6x = 48

x = 48/6

x = 8 minutes

Therefore, after 8 minutes, Nina and Nicholas's sand castles be the same height.

Consider the parent function f(x) = x^2 and the transformed function f(x) =- 5(x - 4)^2 – 8. Identify the
madam [21]

Given:

The parent function is

f(x)=x^2

Consider the transformed function is g(x) instead of f(x) because both functions are different.

g(x)=-5(x-4)^2-8

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

f(x)=x^2

g(x)=-5(x-4)^2-8

It can be written as

g(x)=-5f(x-4)-8            ...(i)

The translation is defined as

g(x)=kf(x+a)+b                .... (ii)

Where, k is stretch factor, a is horizontal shift and b is vertical shift.

If 0<|k|<1, then the graph compressed vertically by factor k and if |k|>1, then the graph stretch vertically by factor k.

If k is negative, then f(x) is reflected across the x-axis to get g(x).

If a>0, then the graph shifts a units left and if a<0, then the graph shifts a units right.

If b>0, then the graph shifts b units up and if b<0, then the graph shifts b units down.

On comparing (i) and (ii), we get

a=-4, f(x) shifts 4 units right.

b=-8, f(x) shifts 8 units down.

k=-5, it is negative so f(x) reflected across the x-axis.

|k|=|-5|=5>1, so f(x) stretched vertically by factor 5.

Therefore, the function f(x) reflected across the x-axis, stretched vertically by factor 5 and shifted 4 units right 8 units down to get g(x).

Answer:

L = 7 W= 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok so we already know that a rectangle is not even so the numbers will have to be 2 diff numbers.

The length is 5 feet less then width

w*l=  84

1* 84         2* 41        3*28    4*21    6*14    7*12

84-1           41-2        28-3     21-4     14-6   12-7

83              39           25          19        8         5

So,

your equation would be l*w = 7*12
