Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one of the side = x

So, other side = x - 2

Area = 360 sq.m

x*(x - 2) = 360

x*x - x * 2 = 360

x² - 2x -360 = 0

x² + 18x - 20x  - 18*20 = 0

x(x +18) - 20*(x + 18 ) = 0

(x + 18)(x -20) = 0

{x + 18 is ignored as measurement will not be a negative number}

x - 20 = 0

x = 20

Length of the longer side = 20 m

F(x)= -x over x^2+5 on the domain [0,4]
BartSMP [9]
If you're asking for extrema, like the previous posting

well

\bf f(x)=\cfrac{-x}{x^2+5}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{df}{dx}=\cfrac{(x^2+5)+2x^2}{(x^2+5)^2}\implies \cfrac{df}{dx}=\cfrac{5+3x^2}{(x^2+5)^2}\impliedby 
\begin{array}{llll}
using\ the\\
quotient\ rule
\end{array}

like the previous posting, since this rational is identical, just that the denominator is negative, the denominator yields no critical points

and the numerator, yields no critical points either, so the only check you can do is for the endpoints, of 0 and 4

f(0) = 0        <---- only maximum, and thus absolute maximum

f(4) ≈ - 0.19  <----  only minimum, and thus absolute minimum

A Family travels at a constant rate and drove 420 miles in 7 hours.If they drive at the same speed ,How many miles will they dri
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

240 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

We find the constant rate at which the family travels

Speed(Rate) = Distance/Time

A Family travels at a constant rate and drove 420 miles in 7 hours.

Speed(Rate) = 420 miles/7 hours

= 60 miles per hour

Step 2

If they drive at the same speed ,How many miles will they drive in the next four hours.?

We are to finally calculate the distance for the next 4 hours

Distance = Speed × Time

Speed = 60 miles per hour

Time = 4 hours

Distance = 60 miles per hour × 4 hours

Distance = 240 miles

Therefore, for the next 4 hours the number of miles they would drive is 240 miles

Write the word sentence as an equation. Then solve.
leonid [27]

Answer:

As an equation: 15 × x = -75

Solved: x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

15*x = -75

\frac{15*x}{15} = -\frac{75}{15}, Divide by 15 on both sides to solve for x

x=-\frac{75}{15}, The 15 in the numerator cancels out with the denominator

x= -5, because 75/15=5
