Answer:

  • parallel: 60 ft
  • perpendicular: 30 ft
  • area: 1800 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of fence parallel to the house. Then the length perpendicular is ...

  y = (120 -x)/2

The area of the yard is the product of these dimensions, so is ...

  A = xy = x(120-x)/2

This is the equation of a parabola that opens downward and has zeros at x=0 and x=120. The maximum (vertex) is on the line of symmetry, halfway between these zeros, at x=60.

The fence parallel to the house is 60 feet.

The fence perpendicular to the house is (120-60)/2 = 30 feet.

The area of the yard is (60 ft)(30 ft) = 1800 ft^2.

Which equation could represent the graph shown below
kaheart [24]

Answer:

f(x) = √(x+1) -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you're working with transformed functions, you know that replacing x with x-a in f(x) will translate the graph "a" units to the right. You also know that adding "b" units to the function value will translate the graph "b" units upward.

Here, the graph of f(x) = √x has been translated 1 unit to the left (a=-1) and 2 units down (b=-2). So, the transformed function is ...

f(x) = √(x-(-1)) + (-2)

f(x) = √(x+1) -2 . . . . . . simplify

The graph of the equation y= -2x+5 will intersect the y-axis when y equals what value
mamaluj [8]
Graphs like these (lines) come in the form y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept. Y intercept is where the graph intersects the y axis so the value would be 5
