Answer:
Answer:
The width is 4 units, and the length is 10 units.
Step-by-step.
Step-by-step explanation:
area of rectangle = length * width
Let L = length; let W = width.
"The length is 6 units greater than the width.": L = W + 6
area = LW = 40
Since L = W + 6, we substitute L with W + 6.
(W + 6)W = 40
W^2 + 6W = 40
W^2 + 6W - 40 = 0
(W - 4)(W + 10) = 0
W - 4 = 0 or W + 10 = 0
W = 4 or W = -10
A width cannot be a negative number, so we discard the solution W = -10.
W = 4
L = W + 6 = 4 + 6 = 10
The width is 4 units, and the length is 10 units.
Answer:
vertex: (2,-18)
Step-by-step explanation:
y = ax² + bx + c
(-1,0) : a - b + c = 0 ...(1)
(5,0) : 25a +5b +c = 0 ...(2)
(0,-10): 0a + 0b + c = -10 c=-10
(1) x5: 5a - 5b + 5c = 0 ...(3)
(2)+(3): 30a + 6c = 0 30a = -6c = 60 a = 2
(1): 2 - b -10 = 0 b = -8
Equation: y = 2x² - 8x -10 = 2 (x² -4x +4) - 18 = 2(x-2)² -18
equation: y = a(x-h)²+k (h,k): vertex
vertex: (2,-18)
