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

Help? Very confused on question 8.
Fynjy0 [20]
For part a: you just need to find how far the vertex has been moved from the origin, or the point (0,0). As the vertex is at the point (2,-3), it has been translated right 2 horizontally and down 3 vertically.

For part b: you use the info found in part a to create the equation in the form of y=A(x-h)^2+k. In this case, A =1, so you can ignore it. The h value is the horizontal distance the vertex has been moved. Since it has been moved right 2, this part of the equation would be (x-2). I know it seems like it should be plus 2, but values in parentheses come out opposite. For the k value, find the vertical shift, which is down3, or -3.
Now that you have h and k, substitute them back into the equation.
Your final answer for part b is: y=(x-2)^2 -3.
