The length of a rectangle is 3 less than twice the width. Write a function rule for the perimeter in terms of w, the width
2 answers:
let's translate this word problem into math
the length (L) is (=) 3 less than (-3) twice the width (2*W).
L=-3+2W
we want to find the perimiter
the perimiter, P is P=2(L+W)
if we subsitute -3+2W for L from our first equation into our perimiter equation, we get
P=2(-3+2W+W)
P=2(-3+3W)
P=-6+6W
P=6W-6
so P(W)=6W-6 is the function of the perimiter in terms of the width
l = 2w-3
P = 2(l+w)
substitute in for l
P = 2(2w-3 +w)
combine like terms
P = 2(3w-3)
P = 6w-6
P(w) = 6(w-1)

Answer:
x = -5, 5
Step-by-step explanation:
-x^2-8=-33
Add 8 to each side
-x^2-8+8=-33+8
-x^2 = -25
Divide each side by -1
x^2 = 25
Take the square root of each side
sqrt(x^2) = ±sqrt(25)
x = ±5
