Answer: 31?
Step-by-step explanation:
Hey there! I'm happy to help!
Let's call the length and width L and W respectively.
L=2W+8
2W+2L=124
We plug our value of L into the second equation and solve for W.
2W+2(2W+8)=124
We undo the parentheses with the distributive property.
2W+4W+16=124
Combine like terms.
6W+16=124
Subtract 16 from both sides.
6W=108
Divide both sides by 6.
W=18
We plug this W value into the first equation to solve for L.
L=2(18)+8
L=36+8
L=44
So, the length is 44 feet and the width is 18 feet.
Have a wonderful day! :D
The derivative of f(x) at x=3 is 2x=6 approaching from the left side (apply power rule to y=x^2). The derivative of f(x) at x=3 is m approaching from the right side. In order for the function to be differentiable, the limit of derivative at x=3 must be the same approaching from both sides, so m=6. Then, x^2=mx+b at x=3, plug in m=6, 9=18+b, so b=-9.
