Answer:

9 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width be represented by l - 5, where l is the length.

Use the area formula, A = lw, and plug in l - 5 as w, and 36 as the area. Then, simplify and factor

A = lw

36 = l(l - 5)

36 = l² - 5l

0 = l² - 5l - 36

Factor:

(l - 9)(l + 4)

Set equal to zero and solve for both solutions:

(l - 9)(l + 4) = 0

l - 9 = 0

l = 9

l + 4 = 0

l = -4

The length cannot be negative, so the answer has to be 9.

The length is 9 centimeters

What is the Growth/Decay Factor?
Stels [109]

Answer:

Growth/Decay Factor = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

To find the growth/decay factor (<em>m</em>), we can use the following formula:

m=\displaystyle\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} where two given points are (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2)

Plug any two of the given points in the table (below, you can see that I used (2,3) and (1,9):

m=\displaystyle\frac{3-9}{2-1}\\\\m=\displaystyle\frac{-6}{1}\\\\m=-6

Therefore, the growth/decay factor is -6.

I hope this helps!

However to check 
24 + 4= 28
             x 4

A supply curve for a product is the number of items that can be made available at different prices. A manufacturer of toy trucks
frutty [35]

Answer:

y = 400x - 1200

Step-by-step explanation:

considering the linear equation y  = mx + c

where y denotes number of items

x denotes item price

we have y = 2000 and x = $8  so we have now

2000 = m(8) + c ...... 1

now we have

y = 400 and x = $4

400 = m(4) + c  .....2

from equation 1 and 2 we have

subtracting 2 from 1

1600 = 4m

m = 400

solving for c value

400 =  4m + c

400 = 4*400 + c

c = -1200

y = 400x - 1200
