Answer:

diagonal is 17 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

use pathagorean theorem

you have a = 8, b= 15

c is the diagonal of the rectangle (rectangle has 90deg angles)

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

c^2 = 8^2 + 15^2

c^2 = 64 + 225

c^2 = 289

take square root

c = 17

hope this helps

What is the inverse of the function??

Firlakuza [10]

$$\begin{matrix}
y=ln(x+3)\\
e^y=x+3\\
e^y-3=x\\
swap ~x~and~y\\
 \huge\underline{y=e^x-3}}
 \end{matrix}$
$

To get the inverse of any function f(x) [ just make sure that it passes the horizontal line test] follow the steps:

- Solve for x, i.e separate x in one side and the other terms in the other side, included f(x).

- Swap x and f(x).

- The result is the inverse of the original function $f^{-1}(x)$ .

-------------------------

Apply that on your function
$$\begin{matrix}
y=ln(x+3)\\
e^y=x+3\\
e^y-3=x\\
swap ~x~and~y\\
 \huge\underline{y=e^x-3}}
 \end{matrix}$

A rectangle has a length of 6x-5y+1 if the perimeter of the rectangle is 16x-4y-4 determine an expression for its width

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

Width = 3y - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

P = 2l + 2w

12x - 4y - 4 = 2(6x - 5y + 1) + 2w

12x - 4y - 4 = (12x - 10y + 2) + 2w

6y - 6 = 2w

w = 3y - 3
