The width of a rectangle is the length minus 2 units. the area of the rectangle is 35 units

Mathematics

Mariana [72]3 years ago

Answer:

Length=7units\\\\Width=5units

Step-by-step explanation:

Width=(Length-2) units

W=(L-2) units

Area of the rectangle= 35 square units

Area = length* Width

35= L*(L-2)\\\\35=L^2-2L

Subtracting 35 both sides:

L^2-2L-35=0

Solving the quadratic equation for 'L' ;

Using factorization:

L^2+5L-7L-35=0

Taking common from the equation :

L(L+5)-7(L+5)=0\\\\(L+5)(L-7)=0\\\\L+5=0\\\\L=-5

OR

L-7=0\\\\L=7

The length cannot be negative, therefore Length(L)= 7

Width=Length-2\\\\=7-2\\\\=5 units

Length=7units\\\\Width=5units

Draw a line for the axis of symmetry of function f. Also mark the x-intercept(s), y-intercept, and vertex of the function. f(x)
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

<u>Part A:</u>  vertex at (-1,4)

<u>Part B:</u>  line of symmetry x =-1

<u>Part C:</u>  x-intercept x = -3 and x = 1

<u>Part D:</u>  y-intercept y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given f(x) = - (x+1)² + 4

The given equation represents a parabola.

The general equation of the parabola with a vertex at (h,k)

f(x) =  (x-h)² + k

<u>Part A:</u> To find the vertex, compare the general equation with the given function.

<u>So, the vertex of the function will be at (-1,4)</u>

<u>Part B:</u> the line for the axis of symmetry of function will be at <u>x =-1</u>

<u>Part C: </u>To find x-intercept, put y = 0

So, - (x+1)² + 4 = 0

- (x+1)² = -4

(x+1)² = 4

x + 1 = ±√4 = ±2

x + 1 = 2  OR   x + 1 = -2

x = 1  OR x =-3

x-intercept at x = 1 and x = -3

<u>Part D:</u>To find y-intercept, put x = 0

So, y = - (0+1)² + 4 = -1 + 4 = 3

y-intercept at  y = 3

<u>See the attached figure.</u>
