Answer:

8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w represent the width.

If the length is 14 inches longer than the width, it can be represented by w + 14.

Use the perimeter formula, p = 2l + 2w. Plug in 60 as the perimeter and w + 14 as l, then solve for w:

p = 2l + 2w

60 = 2(w + 14) + 2w

60 = 2w + 28 + 2w

60 = 4w + 28

32 = 4w

8 = w

So, the width is 8 inches

How to find an equation of the line that passes through the point(-3,-2) and is parallel to 2x=3-5y?
Cerrena [4.2K]
3-5y= 2x

-5y= 2x-3

y= (-2/5)x + 3/5

y + 2 = (-2/5)(x + 3)

y + 2 = (-2/5)x - (6/5)

y + 10/5 = (-2/5)x - 6/5

y = (-2/5)x - 16/5 is the answer

Which of the following is an even function?
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

An even function is:

f(x) = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

An even function accomplish the following condition:

f(x)=f(-x) (1)

Applying (1), we have:

  • f(x)= (x-1)^2 \neq f(-x) \neq (-x-1)^2
  • f(x)= 8x \neq f(-x) \neq -8x
  • f(x)= x^2 -x \neq  f(-x) \neq (-x)^2 +x
  • f(x)=7 = f(-x)= 7

The last one is even.

A hockey player knows that the two goal posts of a hockey net are 1.83 meters apart. The player tries to score a goal by shootin
Luden [163]

The distance the player is from the right post is = 5.1 meters

<h3>Calculation of distance using Pythagorean theorem</h3>

The Pythagorean theorem states that the square of the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle equals the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.

Formula for the Pythagorean theorem =

a²= b²+c²

From the diagram given,

The hypotenuse (a) = x²

b= 1.82²

c = 4.8²

x² = 1.82² + 4.8²

x²= 3.3124 + 23.04

x²= 26.3524

a= √26.3524

a= 5.1 meters.

The function f(x) is defined as follows:
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

f(-3)=-8\\f(2)=4

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the values of a piecewise function, we first have to determine which piece we are using.

For f(-3), x=-3. This means that we need to use 3x+1 as -3\leq 0

f(-3)=3(-3)+1\\\\f(-3)=-9+1\\\\f(-3)=-8

For f(2), x=2. This means that we need to use f(x)=4 as x is equal to 2.

f(x)=4
