If Ms. Callahan has 24 feet of fencing, and she is building a pen, the PERIMETER of the pen must be 24 feet. The perimeter is basically the distance around a figure. The perimeter of a rectangle is equal to length plus width plus length plus width, AKA l+w+l+w, or P=2l+2w. In a rectangle, two pairs of sides are of equal length--so the two lengths and the two widths must be equal.
So, the formula is P=2l+2w. P, the perimeter, is 24, so 24=2l+2w. Let's try some values for l and see what we get for w. If the length is 1, l=1. 24=(2*1)+2w. 24=2+2w. 22=2w. w=11. So if length is 1 foot, width is 11 feet.
What if l=2? 24=(2*2)+2w. 24=4+2w. 2w=20. w=10. If l=2, w=10. And l=3? 24=(2*3)+2w. 24=6+2w. 18=2w. w=9. If l=3, w=9. Do you see a pattern? Every time we add 1 to l, we subtract 1 from w. So if l=4, w=8. If l=5, w=7. If l=6, w=6. Here, we start getting similar answers: if l=7, w=5. If l=8, w=4. Since we already know these values work, it doesn't matter whether we call it length or width. So, our answers are below.
Answer: Ms Callahan can make a pen with a length of 1 foot and a width of 11 feet, a length of 2 feet and a width of 10 feet, a length of 3 feet and a width of 9 feet, a length of 4 feet and a width of 8 feet, a length of 5 feet and a width of 7 feet, or a length of 6 feet and a width of 6 feet.
x¹ = -2 x² = -8
y¹ = -1 y² = 12
Using midpoint formula,
M = ( x¹ + x²/2 ,y¹ + ý²/2)
or,M ={ -2+(-8)/2 , (-1) +12/2}
or, =( -10/2 , 11/2)
:M = ( -5 , 11/2)
It is 75 feet.Cause each yard is 3 feat
Answers and explanations:
87. The domain of added functions includes the restrictions of both. So the range of the added function in this question is [-4, 3]
88. When finding the domain of a divided function we do the same as adding, but with an extra rule: g can't equal zero. So for this question the domain is (-4, 3)
89. To graph f + g you add the y-values for each x-value. I added a picture to help explain this one!
