Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2(x - 8) = 24
2x - 16 = 24
Bringing like terms on one side
2x = 24 + 16
2x = 40
x = 40/ 2
x = 20
Assign the following variables for the origina3l rectangle:
let w = width let w + 8 = length and the area would be w(w + 8) = w² + 8w
No for the second rectangle:
let (w + 4) = width and (w + 8 - 5) or (w + 3) = length
Area = length x width or (w + 4)(w + 3) = w² + 3w + 4w + 12 using the foil method to multiply to binomials. Simplified Area = w² + 7w + 12
Now our problem says that the two area will be equal to each other, which sets up the following equation:
w² + 8w = w² + 7w + 12 subtract w² from both sides
8w = 7w + 12 subtract 7w from both sides
w = 12 this is the width of our original rectangle
recall w + 8 = length, so length of the original rectangle would be 20
An applicable equation of a vertical parabola in vertex form is:
y-k = a(x-h)^2
Let x=2, y=4, h=-1 and k=-1, where (h,k) is the vertex. Then,
4-(-1) = a(2-[-1])^2, which becomes 5 = a(9). Therefore, a = 5/9, and the
equation of the parabola is
y+1 = (5/9)(x+1)
Needing to find the circumference of a circle you you find that you need to use the equation C=2 π R
C= 28.26
this is how much fence they would need around the garden approximately.
