Answer:

C.) The perimeter is doubled and the area is quadrupled.

Step-by-step explanation:

Original square: side = 4

Area = side^2 = 4^2 = 16 square units

Perimeter = 4 * side = 4 * 4 = 16 units

Larger square: side = 8

Area = side^2 = 8^2 = 64 square units

Perimeter = 4 * side = 4 * 8 = 32 units

Comparison of areas:

(larger square area)/(original square area) = 64/16 = 4

Comparison of perimeters:

(larger square perimeter)/(original square perimeter) = 32/16 = 2

Answer:

C.) The perimeter is doubled and the area is quadrupled.

PLEASE HELP ASAP <br>are f(x)=4/x-2-1 and g(x)=3/x+2-2 inverses of each other?

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

To find the inverse of:

$f (x)=\dfrac{4}{x-2}-1$

Set the function to y:

$\implies y=\dfrac{4}{x-2}-1$

Rearrange to make x the subject:

$\implies y+1=\dfrac{4}{x-2}$

$\implies (y+1)(x-2)=4$

$\implies xy-2y+x-2=4$

$\implies xy+x=2y+6$

$\implies x(y+1)=2y+6$

$\implies x=\dfrac{2y+6}{y+1}$

Swap x and y:

$\implies y=\dfrac{2x+6}{x+1}$

Change y to the inverse of the function sign:

$\implies f$ $\:^{-1}(x)=\dfrac{2x+6}{x+1}$

Rewrite g(x) as a fraction:

$g(x)=\dfrac{3}{x+2}-2$

$\implies g(x)=\dfrac{3}{x+2}-\dfrac{2(x+2)}{x+2}$

$\implies g(x)=\dfrac{3-2(x+2)}{x+2}$

$\implies g(x)=\dfrac{3-2x-4}{x+2}$

$\implies g(x)=-\dfrac{2x+1}{x+2}$

Therefore, as the inverse of f(x) ≠ g(x), the functions are NOT inverses of each other

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

A=72CM^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is 72cm^2 because the area of a triangle is h x b divided by two because the triangle is half of a square, since the square is side times side, the answer is 12x12 divided by two, wich is 144/2. The final answer is 72

Please help me on number 31 please I beg you

Brums [2.3K]

Assuming the garden is a rectangle, the area is equal to length times width.

So 20x = 760.

Divide both sides by 20.

x = 760/20 = 38 ft
