Answer:

10 and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the area of the rectangle, w the width and L the length

● A = w*L

The length is 4 feet more that the width so L = w+4

● A = w ×(w+4)

● A = w^2 + 4w

The area is 60 ft^2

● w^2 + 4w = 60

Substract 60 from both sides

● w^2 + 4w - 60 = 0

This a quadratic equation

We will solve it by graphing it

The solution are 6 and -10 since the graph intersect with the x-axis in those points (pictures below)

The width is 6 feet long since it is a distance and a distance is always positive.

● w = 6

● L = w + 4

● L = 6 + 4

● L = 10

The width is 6 feet and the length is 10 feet

Answer:

17.) 12

18.) 1/15

Step-by-step explanation:

2 ÷ \frac{1}{6}

This problem is asking how many \frac{1}{6} 's can go into 2 blocks.  If you divide one box into 6 parts, each tiny box will be \frac{1}{6} of the whole. Divide the other box into 6 parts as well, and you will get 12 of these \frac{1}{6} parts.  Check your answer by multiplying 12 by \frac{1}{6}.  The answer is \frac{12}{6} which is also equal to 2.

\frac{1}{3} ÷ 5

For this one, think of it as we have one big box divided into thirds. We want to divide each  \frac{1}{3} portion by 5. So you should have 5 tiny boxes in each \frac{1}{3} which gives you a total of 15 boxes.  But if we look at it as one big box divided into 15 parts, we know that each of those is \frac{1}{15}.  Check your answer by multiplying \frac{1}{15} by 5 and you get \frac{5}{15} which is equal to \frac{1}{3}.  

Let me know if you have any questions, and good luck!

Which relation defines y as a function of x?
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

A function is a relation in which each input has only one output. In the relation, y is a function of x, because for each input x (1, 2, 3, or 0), there is only one output y.

Step-by-step explanation:

For every x there is exactly one y value. We can forgive a function if some values of x do not have a y, but if there is more than one y for even one value of x, then the relation is not a function.

A car traveled 180 miles at a constant rate. Write an equation that would
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

180/t = r

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we would have to write an equation that represents the scenario given.

We know that the car traveled 180 miles at a constant rate.

We would use the y = mx + b format for the equation, but replacing the variables with "r" and "t"

We know that 180 will be our y-variable, since that would be the base of the equation:

180 = ???

And to find how long/fast it will take the car, we would need to multiply the rate of speed "r" and time "t" in order to get our distance.

Plug it into the equation:

180 = rt

With this set up, you can find the rate of speed of the car when you know the time.

You would simply solve it as:

180/t = r

Which transformation have been preformed on a graph of f(x)=x2 to obtained the graph of g(x) =-3(x+1)2-4?
avanturin [10]

Horizontal shift because g(x)=f(x+1) 1 unit left

Vertical shift because g(x)=f(x+1)-4 4 units down

Reflected across x-axis because g(x)=-f(x)

Vertically stretched because g(x)=3(f(x))

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to identify which transformation have been preformed on a graph of f(x)=x2 to obtained the graph of g(x) =-3(x+1)2-4?

Rules for transformation:

Horizontal shift: depends on the value h

if g(x)=f(x+h) then: the graph is shifted left h units

if g(x)=f(x-h) then: the graph is shifted right h units

Vertical Shift: depends on the value k

if g(x)=f(x)+k then: the graph is shifted up k units

if g(x)=f(x)-k then: the graph is shifted down k units

Reflection:

if g(x)=-f(x) then graph is reflected at x-axis

if g(x)=f(-x) then graph is reflected at y-axis

Vertical Stretch:

if g(x)=c.f(x) then graph is vertically stretched.

In the given question:

f(x)= x^2

g(x)=-3(x+1)^2-4

Applying the above rules of transformation:

The graph is:

Horizontal shift because g(x)=f(x+1) 1 unit left

Vertical shift because g(x)=f(x+1)-4 4 units down

Reflected across x-axis because g(x)=-f(x)

Vertically stretched because g(x)=3(f(x))
