Answer:

4 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We can consider the orignial square's sides to be x, so the area of the original figure:

The new flower bedś sides will be x and x+8, so the area of the new figure will be x^2+8x.

A= L*W

We know that the new area is 3 times the old one. So the equation will be:

x^2+8x=3x^2

our answer will be x=4.

Therefore, the length of the side of the old flower bed is 4 ft.

Answer:

4 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can consider the orignial square's sides to be x, so area of the original figure: x^{2}

The new rectangle's sides will be x and x+8, so the area of the new figure will be x^2+8x.

We know that the new area is 3 times the old one. So our equation will be:

x^2+8x=3x^2

our answer will be x=4.

Therfore, the length of the side of the old flower bed is 4 ft.

Match the right side of the equation to the left side<br> cot x sec^4 x=cot x+ 2 tan x+tan^3 x
Natalka [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

cot x + 2 tan x + tan³ x

Write in terms of sine and cosine:

(cos x / sin x) + 2 (sin x / cos x) + (sin³ x / cos³ x)

Find the common denominator:

(cos⁴ x / (sin x cos³ x) + 2 (sin² x cos² x / (sin x cos³ x)) + (sin⁴ x / (sin x cos³ x))

Add:

(cos⁴ x + 2 sin² x cos² x + sin⁴ x) / (sin x cos³ x)

Factor:

(sin² x + cos² x)² / (sin x cos³ x)

Pythagorean identity:

1 / (sin x cos³ x)

Multiply top and bottom by cos x:

cos x / (sin x cos⁴ x)

Simplify:

cot x sec⁴ x

What is f(3)??????????
AURORKA [14]
<h3><u>Explanation</u></h3>
  • Meaning of f(a)

f(a) means the value of f(x) is ... when x = a. That means if we substitute x = 3, we would get f(3).

f(3) also means the value of f(x) is ... when x = 3.

f(x) can also be defined as y // f(x) = y

  • Find f(3) by graph.

You can find the value of f(x) at specific domain from the graph by looking at x = 3 then look up to where the point or where the graph passes. From the graph, when x = 3 as we look up and the graph passes y-coordinate at 1.

Therefore we can say that when x = 3, y = 1.

<h3><u>Answer</u></h3>

f(3) = 1

Triangle EFG is an isosceles triangle with EG=EF. What is the approximate length of EF, and what is the approximate perimeter of
sineoko [7]

Answer:

B. The approximate length of EF is 4.47 units, and the approximate perimeter of triangle EFG is 12.94 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

First step is to determine the length of EF, since that will give us 2 sides of the triangle (since EG = EF).

From the diagram, we can easily make a rectangle triangle by dropping a vertical line from vertex E, let's name Z the meeting point of that line with the segment GF.  Then we have a rectangle triangle EZF with a height of 4 and a base of 2, of which EF is the hypotenuse. So...

EF² = 4² + 2² = 16 + 4 = 20

EF = √20 = 4.47

Now that we have EF, we also have EG:

EF = 4.47

EG = 4.47

GF = 4 (visible on the graph)

Perimeter = 4.47 + 4.47 + 4 = 12.94 units.
