Answer:

16 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Perimeter = 72 inches

Breadth = 20 inches

Perimeter = 2 ( L+B )

72 = 2 ( L+20)

72= 2L + 40

72-40=2L

32/2=L

L=16 inches

therefore , lenght of the tile is 16 inches

Answer:

(A) The rate of change in the price of a bushel of corn in the current year is $7.

(B) The price of a bushel of corn in the current year is $2 more than the price of a bushel of corn in the previous year.

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph for the prices of different numbers of bushels of corn at a store in the current year is shown below.

Part A:

The rate of change in the price of a bushel of corn in the current year based upon the number of bushels is known as the slope of the line.

The formula to compute the slope is:

$\text{Slope}=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

Consider the ordered pairs: (4, 28) and (10, 70)

Compute the slope of the line as follows:

$\text{Slope}=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

$=\frac{70-28}{10-4}\\\\=\frac{42}{6}\\\\=7$

Thus, the rate of change in the price of a bushel of corn in the current year is $7.

Part B:

The data for the price of bushels in the previous year is as follows:

Number of Bushels Price

2 10

4 20

6 30

8 40

Compute the rate of change in the price of a bushel of corn in the previous year based upon the number of bushels as follows:

Consider the ordered pairs: (2, 10) and (6, 30)

$\text{Slope}=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

$=\frac{30-10}{6-2}\\\\=\frac{20}{4}\\\\=5$

The rate of change in the price of a bushel of corn in the previous year is $5.

Thus, the price of a bushel of corn in the current year is $2 more than the price of a bushel of corn in the previous year.

Rewrite the function by completing the square. h(x)= x^{2} +3 x -18 left parenthesis, x, right parenthesis, equals, x, squared,

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

h(x) = (x +1.5)^2 -20.25

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume you want to rearrange h(x)= x^2 +3x -18.

Recognize the coefficient of x is 3. Add and subtract the square of half that. (3/2)^2 = 9/4 = 2.25

h(x) = (x^2 +3x +2.25) -18 -2.25

Now, write the expression in parentheses as a square, simplify the constant.

h(x) = (x +1.5)^2 -20.25 . . . . . . . . vertex form
