The answer is
B) 2n - 5
because it's -5 than twice the width (2n)
We can't use P = 2L + 2W because the sides have different lengths.
P = a + b + c + d
a = x
b = 2x
c = 2x - 2
d = x + 5
P = x + 2x + (2x - 2) + (x + 5)
P = <u>x + 2x + 2x</u> - 2 <u>+ x</u> + 5
P = 6x + 3
if x = 4:
P = 6 · 4 + 3
P = 24 + 3
P = 27
I'm guessing the second derivative is for <em>y</em> with respect to <em>x</em>, i.e.

Compute the first derivative. By the chain rule,

We have


and so

Now compute the second derivative. Notice that
is a function of
; so denote it by
. Then

By the chain rule,

We have

and so the second derivative is
