Answer:

W=5

Step-by-step explanation:

W=Width=Length + 1

L = Length

Area = Length * Width = 20

Area = L * W = L * (L+1) = 20

Distribute the L:   L^2 + L = 20

Subtract 20 from both sides: L^2 + L -20 = 20-20

Simplify:  L^2+L-20=0

Factor (L-4)(L+5)=0

Solve using the zero property: L-4=0, L=4      L+5=0, L=-5

The two options for length are 4 and -5. Only 4 will work for L since it cannot be negative.   Width is Length + 1 = 5

If EF=6 and EG=21, find the value of FG. The drawing is not to scale.
pantera1 [17]
You can find the value of FG by subtracting the value of EF from EG.

EG - EF = FG
   21 - 6 = FG
        15 = FG

The value of FG is B. 15 .

Graph x^4-3x^2+x. Identify the x-intercepts and the points where the local maximums and local minimums occur. Determine the inte
Brums [2.3K]

Functions, equations and tables can be represented using graphs

  • The x-intercepts are: 0, 0.35 and 1.53
  • The local maximum is at point (0.17, 0.08), and the local minimum is at point (1.13, -1.07)

The expression is given as:

x^4-3x^2+x

Rewrite the expression as a function

f(x) =  x^4-3x^2+x

See attachment for the graph of the function.

<h3>The x-intercepts</h3>

This is the point where the graph cross the x-axis.

From the attached graph, the x-intercepts are: 0, 0.35 and 1.53

<h3>The local maximum</h3>

From the attached graph, the local maximum is at point (0.17, 0.08)

<h3>The local minimum</h3>

From the attached graph, the local minimum is at point (1.13, -1.07)

<h3>Intervals</h3>
  • The graph increases at interval (-1.30, 0) and (1,13, infinity)
  • The graph decreases at interval (- infinity, 1.30) and (0.35, 1.13)
