Answer:
b=-5
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide by -9 to eliminate the -9 on -9b
(Since -9b is the same thing as -9 times b we can use the inverse of multiplication which is division to eliminate the -9 from b but we need to do it on both sides to make it balance)
-9b/-9=45/-9
b=-5
Applying the factorization method, for example:
Applying the factorization method:
Be sure to include the "=" sign: <span>f(x) = 2^x -7
To find the x-intercepts, set f(x) = 0 and solve for x: 2^x - 7 = 0,
or
2^x = 7
Take the common log of both sides: x log 2 = log 7
log 7
Solve for x: x = --------- = 2.81 (approx)
log 2

Widths = 23.5feet
Lengths = 47feet
23.5 + 23.5 + 47 + 47 = 141
