Let the length be l.
For now, let's make the width be w. 
Additionally, l = w + 15. Using this equation, width can also be written as l - 15. 
The perimeter of a rectangle is length + length + width + width. This can also be written as l + l + (l-15) + (l-15) = l + l + l - 15 + l - 15 = 4l - 30.
Using this equation:
4l - 30 = 262
4l = 292
l = 73

4(w + 15) - 30 = 262
4w + 60 - 30 = 262
4w + 30 = 262
4w = 232
w = 58

A flying squirrel jumped from a tree 11 feet in the air at an initial velocity of 9 feet per sencond. The equation h=-2t^2+9t-11
vovikov84 [41]
This must be on the moon as the acceleration due to gravity in this equation must be around 1/8 that on earth. :)  Anyway...

h=-2t^2+9t+11

A)

dh/dt=-4t+9, when velocity, dh/dt=0, it is the maximum height reached

dh/dt=0 only when 4t=9, t=2.25 seconds

h(2.25)=21.125 ft  (21 1/8 ft)

B)

As seen in A), the time of maximum height was 2.25 seconds after the squirrel jumped.

C)

The squirrel reaches the ground when h=0...

0=-2t^2+9t+11

-2t^2-2t+11t+11=0

-2t(t+1)+11(t+1)=0

(-2t+11)(t+1)=0, since t>0 for this problem...

-2t+11=0

-2t=-11

t=5.5 seconds.

Drag the correct steps into order to solve the equation -7x + 14 = 56 for x.
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

-7x + 14 = 56

Subtract 14 both sides

-7x + 14 - 14 = 56 - 14

-7x = 42

Divide both sides by -7

(-7x)/(-7) = 42/(-7)

x = -6
