A rectangle has length (x + 5)cm and width (x –2)cm. Its area is 60 cm 2

Area = length x width

60 = (x+5) (x-2)

60 = x^2 + 3x -10

Subtract 60 from both sides:

x^2 +3x -70 = 0

Solve for x by finding 2 numbers when added together = 3 and when multiplied by each other = -70

x = -10 and 7

Since the sides have to be a positive number we need to use 7

The length = x+5 = 7+5 = 12 cm

The width = x-2 = 7-2 = 5 cm

If x+2 is a factor of x^3+6x^2+kx+10, then if we replace x by -2 in the polynomial x^3-6x^2+kx+10, we must get zero:
x=-2→(-2)^3-6(-2)^2+k(-2)+10=0→
-8-6(4)-2k+10=0→
-8-24-2k+10=0
-2k-22=0
Solving for k. Adding 22 both sides of the equation:
-2k-22+22=0+22
-2k=22
Dividing both sides of the equation by -2:
-2k/(-2)=22/(-2)
k=-11

Answer: k = - 11

Find the average rate of change of f(x)=4x^2-6 on interval [1,a]​
stiv31 [10]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  4a +4

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change of f(x) on the interval is ...

  (f(a) -f(1))/(a -1)

  = ((4a² -6) -(4(1)² -6))/(a -1) = (4a² -4)/(a -1)

  = 4(a² -1)/(a -1) = 4(a +1) = 4a +4

The average rate of change on the interval is 4a +4.

Answer:

1. given

2. vertically opposite angles are equal

3. alternate angles on parallel lines P||q are equal

4. vertically opposite angles are equal

5. angle 1 = angle 3 (corresponding angles on parallel lines are equal)

angle 3=angle 4 (vertically opposite angles are equal)

therefore angle 1 = angle 4

Step-by-step explanation:

hope that helps :)
