Answer:

8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Area= 64 square feet

Base= x feet

Height= x+8 feet

The expression for the area

A= 1/2b*h

substitute

64= 1/2*x*(x+8)

64= 1/2*x^2+8x

64= (x^2+8x)/2

cross multiply

64*2= x^2+8x

128= x^2+8x

rearrange

x^2+8x-128= 0

using the quadratic formula

a=1

b=8

c=-128

x= -b±√b^2-4ac/2a

x= -1±√8^2-4*1*-128/2*1

simplifying

x= 8

x=-16

Hence the height of the base is

h= 8 feet

Solve this linear system by graphing <br> x-y=6 <br> 2x=12+2y
lys-0071 [83]
You need to isolate the variables. For the first equation add x to both sides, which leaves you with y.

For the second equation, divide each side by 2 leaving you with
x= 6+y. Subtract y from each side. Subtract x from both sides. Now you have y= x + 6.

Now graph those equations.

Use the graph of the function to estimate the intervals on which the function is increasing or decreasing. (Enter your answers u
Crank

The intervals on which the graph is increasing:   ]-∞,-3[ U ]0.5,-∞[ . On the other hand, the graph is decreasing:  ]-3,0.5[

<h3>Function</h3>

A function can be classified as increasing or decreasing. Thus, a function is increasing when the y-values increase, on the other hand, a function is decreasing when the y-values decrease.

From the image, you can see that the y-values increase in the following x-intervals: from -∞ to -3 and from 0.5 to ∞. Using interval notation, you can write that the function is increasing in:

                                  ]-∞,-3[ U ]0.5,-∞[

From the graph, you can see that the y-values decrease in the following x-intervals: from -3 to 0.5. Using interval notation, you can write that the function is decreasing in:

                                         ]-3,0.5[
