Answer:

Length = 6

Width = 5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use the variable x to represent the width:

x = width

The question says that the length of the rectangle is "5 ft less than double the width". This length can be represented like this:

2x - 5 = length

To find the area of a rectangle, you multiply the width and length, so we are going to write an equation where we multiply the width and length and set it equal to 33 ft^2, which is the area:

(x)(2x - 5) = 33

Now use basic algebra to solve for x:

2x^2 - 5x = 33

2x^2 - 5x - 33 = 0

2x^2 + 6x - 11x - 33 = 0

(2x^2 + 6x) + (-11x - 33) = 0

2x(x + 3) - 11(x + 3) = 0

(2x - 11) (x + 3) = 0

x = 11/2, -3

x either equals 11/2 or -3. However, remember that x represents the width, and you can't have a negative number for a width, so x = 11/2 or 5.5.

Now plug in 5.5 to the length expression and simplify:

2(5.5) - 5

11 - 5 = 6

The length is 6 and the width is 5.5.

Hope this helps (●'◡'●)

Find an equation for the nth term of the arithmetic sequence. -15, -6, 3, 12, ...
Mariulka [41]

Answer: t_{n}=-15+9(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for finding the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is given as:

t_{n}=a+(n-1)d

a = first term = -15

d = common difference = -6 - (-15) = 9

n = number of terms

substituting into the formula , we have :

t_{n} = -15+(n-1)9

t_{n}=-15+9(n-1)

suppose f(x)=3x+5. describe how the graph of each function compares to f. 1) g(x)=f(x)+12 2) h(x)=f(x)-7 3) g(x)=f(x=8) 4) h(x)=
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

1)

g(x) = f(x)+12 represents translating f(x) 12 units up to get g(x). This is because y = f(x), so we're effectively adding 12 to each y coordinate of the points on f(x) to have them move to the points on g(x).

note: the term "translating" is another way of saying "shifting" or "sliding".

===================================================

2)

h(x) = f(x)-7 means translating f(x) 7 units down to get h(x). We use the same reasoning as in problem 1. The general form is h(x) = f(x)+k, and in this case, k = -7. The negative k value tells us to shift down.

===================================================

3)

g(x) = f(x+8) means we translate 8 units to the left. The general template is g(x) = f(x-h). If h > 0, then we shift right. If h < 0, then we shift left. The amount that is shifted is equal to the absolute value of h.

===================================================

4)

h(x) = f(x-14) tells us to shift f(x) 14 units to the right. Same idea as problem 3, but now h = 14.

===================================================

5)

g(x) = 4*f(x) means we vertically stretch f(x) by a factor of 4. Since y = f(x), we are effectively doing g(x) = 4*f(x) = 4*y, which pulls the y coordinates upward by a factor of 4. A point like (1,2) will jump to (1,8) after multiplying the y coordinate by 4.

===================================================

6)

g(x) = f(5x) tells us to horizontally compress f(x) by a factor of 5. The general template is g(x) = f(a*x) where the 'a' determines horizontal stretching or compression. If 0 \le a \le 1, then we have horizontal stretching going on. If a > 1, then we'll have horizontal compression.
