Length=2x
width=x
Perimeter of a rectangle=2(lenght)+2(width)

The first is to find out the measures of this rectangle, that is to say, you have to find the length and width of these rectangle.

We can suggest this equation:
24=2(2x)+2(x)
4x+2x=24
6x=24
x=24/6
x=4

2x=2(4)=8

The lenght will be 8 in, and the length will be 4 in.

The second; you have to calculate the area of this rectangle.
area of a rectangle= lenght x width

area=(8 in)(4 in)=32 in²

answer: the area of Marshall´s rectangular poster would be 32 in²

Trevor’s total employment compensation is $33,500. If Trevor has no job expenses and his gross pay is $28,600, then his total em
EleoNora [17]

we know that

Total\  employment\  compensation=gross\  pay+employee\  benefits-job\  expenses

in this problem

Total\  employment\  compensation=33,500\ dollars

gross\  pay=28,600\ dollars

job\  expenses=0

Step 1

Find the total employee benefits

Let

EC------> total employment compensation

EB--------> total employee benefits

GP------> gross pay

JE------> job expenses

EC=GP+EB-JE

33,500=28,600+EB-0\\ EB=33,500-28,600\\ EB=4,900\ dollars

Step 2

Find the percentage of the total employee benefits

we know that

total employee benefits is equal to 4,900\ dollars

gross pay is equal to 28,600\ dollars

by proportion

\frac{28,600}{4,900} =\frac{100}{x} \\ \\ x*28,600=100*4,900\\ \\ x=\frac{100*4,900}{28,600}

x=17.1%

therefore

the answer is the option

d. 17.1

What is the slope of y = -1 + 3x?
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

− 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We can rewrite the equation as: y = − 3 x + 0 This equation is now in the slope-intercept form. The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is: y = m x + b Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept value. For: y = − 3 x + 0 the slope is: m = − 3

Let f be the function given by f(x) = x+4(x−1)(x+3) on the closed interval [−5,5]. On which closed interval is the function f gu
Vlad [161]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=x+4(x^2+2x-3)=4x^2+9x-12

f'(x)=8x+9

f'(x)=0,gives x=-9/8

f(-5)=-5+4(-5-1)(-5+3)=-5+4*-6*-2=43

f(-9/8)=-9/8+4(-9/8-1)(-9/8+3)

=-9/8+4*-17/8*15/8

=-9/8-255/16

=-273/16=-17 1/16

f(5)=4*5^2+9*5-12=100+45-12=133

absolute maximum=133

absolute minimum=-17 1/16
