Answer:

Width = 12 feet

Length = 20 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is A = l*w. Here the length is 8 feet more than the width or 8 + w and the width is w. So the area is A = w(8+w) = 8w + w²

If the dimensions are changed then the expressions will change. The width is increased by 4 feet. This means the width w becomes w + 4. The length is decreased by 5 feet. This means the length becomes 8 + w - 5 = 3 + w. So the area of the new triangle is A = (w+4)(3+w) = w² + 7w + 12.

Since the areas are the same, set them equal to each other and solve for w.

w² + 7w + 12 = 8w + w²                Subtract w² from both sides.

7w + 12 = 8w                                 Subtract 7w from both sides.

12 = w

The original width w is 12 feet. This means the original length which was 8 + w = 8 + 12 = 20 feet.

Determine f^-1(2) given the following: f(1 = -3f(2) = -2f(-1) = 2f(3) = -1
lana [24]

We assume that the function is as follows:

f^{-1_{}}(2)=?

Then, we have that:

f^{-1}(x)=\frac{1}{f(x)}

Thus, if we have that:

f(2)=-2\Rightarrow f^{-1^{}_{}}(x)=\frac{1}{f(x)}\Rightarrow f^{-1}(2)=\frac{1}{f(2)}=\frac{1}{-2}\Rightarrow f^{-1}(2)=-\frac{1}{2}

Therefore, the value for the function is f^-1(2) = -1/2 or

f^{-1}(2)=-\frac{1}{2}

What’s the value of 27.43? Write answer in a fraction
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

As an improper fraction: 27 \frac{43}{100}

As a mixed fraction: \frac{2743}{100}

Step-by-step explanation:

Any number could be expressed as a fraction 27 is \frac{27}{1} and since 0.43 is forty-three hundredths we can express it as \frac{43}{100}.

To find the answer as a mixed fraction we have to put the whole number in the beginning and the fraction in the end. 27 \frac{43}{100}

As an improper fraction we have to add 27 / 1 + 43/100 = \frac{2743}{100}
