The perimeter is equal to 2(width) + 2(length). let's call the width w and the length L.

so 32 = 2w + 2L
the width is given as 2 meters less than the length, so w = L - 2

32 = 2(L - 2) + 2L
32 = 2L - 4 + 2L
32 = 4L - 4
36 = 4L
9 = L

so our length is 9 meters.

w = L - 2
w = 9 - 2
w = 7

so our width is 7 meters.

Write the equation of a polynomial of degree 3, with zeros 1, 2 and -1 where f(0)=2
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

f(x) = x^3 - 2x^2 - x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

since the zeroes are 1,-1, and 2. we can write the function like

f(x) = (x-1)(x+1)(x-2)

f(x) = (x^2-1)(x-2)

f(x) = x^3 -2x^2 -x +2

and it is true that f(0)=2

For her college fund jenny's parents invested $5000 four years ago. the account has now reached $6312. what is the approximate a
Tasya [4]

Answer:

Rate = 6.56%

Step-by-step explanation:

Principal (P) = $5000

Interest (I) = $6312

Time (T) = 4 years

Rate (r) = ?

This question is involves simple interest and with the formula, we can easily plug in the values to find the rate.

S.I = P(1 + rt)

S.I = simple interest

P = principal

R = Rate

T = Time

6312 = 5000(1 + r*4)

6312 = 5000 + 5000*4r

6312 - 5000 = 20000r

1312 = 20000r

r = 1312 / 20000

r = 0.0656

Rate are calculated in percentage hence we'll multiply it by 100

R = 6.56%
