Answer:

8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let l and w be length and width, respectively. Then:

lw=144 and

l=w+10

So:

w(w+10)=144

w²+10w-144=0

(w+18)(w-8)=0

w=8 as the width ................

How do you solve: f(x) = -x2e-x<br> +2xe-x , finding the zero's of f.

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

0 and 2

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(x) = -x^2e^{-x}+2xe^{-x}$

To find zeros set f(x)=0 and solve for x

$0 = -x^2e^{-x}+2xe^{-x}$

$0 = -e^{-x}(x^2-2x)$

now factor out x

$0 = -xe^{-x}(x-2)$

set each factor =0 and solve for x

$x=0$

$-e^{-x}=0$ no solution for x

$x-2=0, x=2$

zeros of f are 0 and 2

Does x equal if the problem is negative x -4x - 7 equals 5 negative 2X

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

X = - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in problem

- x -4x - 7 = 5 -2x

Or, -5x - 7 = 5- 2x

Or, -5x + 2x = 5 + 7

Or, -3x = 12

Or, x = - $\frac{12}{3}$

∴ X = - 4 Answer
