The length of a rectangle is 4 inches more than its width. If 2 inches are taken from the length and added to the width, the fig

ure becomes a square with an area of 272.25 sq inches. If the width of the rectangle is x, what is the length of the rectangle in terms of x?

L = W+4 (the length is 4 inches more than length (given))

.

L-2 (if 2 inches are taken from L) and added to the width (W+2) the figure becomes a square.

A square has 4 equal sides.

L-2 = W+2

.

We are told the area of the square is 272.25.

(L-2)(X+2) = 272.25

.

Substituting from L = W+4

(l+4 -2)(w+ 2) = 272.25

(w+2)(w+2) = 272.25

.

Taking the square root

(W+2) = sqrt(272.25) = 16.5

.

Subtracting 2 from both sides

W = 12

and

L = W+4 = 16

.

Is the length 4 more than width? Yes.

If you subtract 2 from length and add 2 to width, and then multiply them, is the result 272.25? Yes.

Done. kindlyrecheck=)

sry if something's wrong ^_^

Determine whether the fractions 3 4 and 4 5 are equivalent. Question content area bottom Part 1 Select the correct choice below
VMariaS [17]

Answer: Choice A

The fractions are not equivalent because the product of the numerator of the first fraction and the denominator of the second fraction is <u>   15   </u> ​, which is not equal to the product of the numerator of the second fraction and the denominator of the first​ fraction <u>    16    </u>

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

Explanation:

We have the template \frac{P}{Q} = \frac{R}{S} which cross multiplies to PS = QR

So if \frac{3}{4} = \frac{4}{5} was true, then 3*5 = 4*4 must be true as well, and vice versa.

The left side 3*5 turns into 15, while the right hand side 4*4 becomes 16. The 15 and 16 don't match up.

In short, 3*5 = 4*4 turns into 15 = 16 which is a false statement. So the original claim that \frac{3}{4} = \frac{4}{5} is also false.

If the equation of a parabola is y = 9(x - 2)2 + v, and its vertex is (2, -4), what is the value of v in the equation?
REY [17]
If the vertex of the parabola is (h,k) the equation of the parabola will be
y = a(x - h)² + k

From the question (h,k) is (2,-4) then the equation of the parabola will be
y = a(x - 2)² + (-4)

Compare the equation
y = a(x - 2)² + (-4)
with
y = 9(x - 2)² + v
The value of a is 9 and the value of v is (-4).

The answer of the question 
⇒ the value of v is (-4)

Find the inverse of the function. State any restrictions on the domain.<br><br> f(x) = x^2 + 9
Bogdan [553]

The function is not invertible if you think of it as

f:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}

because it is not injective: f(x)=f(-x)

So, if we restrict the domain to the positive numbers only:

f:\mathbb{R^+}\to\mathbb{R}

Note that the range is actually [9,\infty), so we can be more precise and write

f:\mathbb{R^+}\to[9,\infty)

To find the inverse, we solve the expression for x:

y=x^2+9 \iff y-9=x^2 \iff x=\pm\sqrt{y-9}

But since we restricted to positive values of x, the inverse is

x=\sqrt{y-9}
