Answer:

W=7 and L=11

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two unknowns so we must create two equations.

First the problem states that  length of a rectangle is 10 yd less than three times the width so: L= 3w-10

Next we are given the area so: L X W = 77

Then solve for the variable algebraically. It is just a system of equations.

3W^2 - 10W - 77 = 0

(3W + 11)(W - 7) = 0

W = -11/3 and/or W=7

Discard the negative solution as the width of the rectangle cannot be less then 0.

So W=7

Plug that into the first equation.

3(7)-10= 11 so L=11

Domain and Range for the function f(x)=5IXI is
shutvik [7]

Answer:

The domain of the function f(x) is:

\mathrm{Domain\:of\:}\:5\left|x\right|\::\quad \begin{bmatrix}\mathrm{Solution:}\:&\:-\infty \:

The range of the function f(x) is:

\mathrm{Range\:of\:}5\left|x\right|:\quad \begin{bmatrix}\mathrm{Solution:}\:&\:f\left(x\right)\ge \:0\:\\ \:\mathrm{Interval\:Notation:}&\:[0,\:\infty \:)\end{bmatrix}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function

f\left(x\right)=5\left|x\right|

Determining the domain:

We know that the domain of the function is the set of input or arguments for which the function is real and defined.  

In other words,  

  • Domain refers to all the possible sets of input values on the x-axis.

It is clear that the function has undefined points nor domain constraints.

Thus, the domain of the function f(x) is:

\mathrm{Domain\:of\:}\:5\left|x\right|\::\quad \begin{bmatrix}\mathrm{Solution:}\:&\:-\infty \:

Determining the range:

We also know that range is the set of values of the dependent variable for which a function is defined.  

In other words,  

  • Range refers to all the possible sets of output values on the y-axis.

We know that the range of an Absolute function is of the form

c|ax+b|+k\:\mathrm{is}\:\:f\left(x\right)\ge \:k

k=0

so

Thus, the range of the function f(x) is:

\mathrm{Range\:of\:}5\left|x\right|:\quad \begin{bmatrix}\mathrm{Solution:}\:&\:f\left(x\right)\ge \:0\:\\ \:\mathrm{Interval\:Notation:}&\:[0,\:\infty \:)\end{bmatrix}

X^3+4x^2-9x-36<br> whats the answer
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

x= -4, -3, 3

Step-by-step explanation:

You must factor this equation.

Once you factor, you get (x+4)(x-3)(x+3)

Set this equal to 0 and solve.

You get -4,-3, and 3.
