Answer:

length = 6 cm; width = 5.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length = x. Let the width = y.

We use the formulas for area and perimeter using x and y, and the given values.

area = length * width

perimeter = 2(length + width)

xy = 33

2(x + y) = 23

Solve the first equation for x:

x = 33/y

Substitute 33/y for x in the second equation.

2(33/y + y) = 23

66/y + 2y = 23

Mulrtiply both sides by y.

66 + 2y^2 = 23y

2y^2 - 23y + 66 = 0

(2y - 11)(y - 6) = 0

2y - 11 = 0   or   y - 6 = 0

y = 11/2 = 5.5   or   y = 6

xy = 33

x * 11/2 = 33

x = 33 * 2/11

x = 6

Answer: length = 6 cm; width = 5.5 cm

Which ordered pair could you remove from the relation {(–2, –1), (–1, 1), (–1, 0), (0, 1), (1, 0)} so that it becomes a function
trapecia [35]
A polynomial expression can only be categorized into a function if and only if a single input can only have one and only output. This means that there should be no more than one dissimilar values of y for the same value of x. 

Evaluating the givens above, it can be observed that there are two -1's as an x-coordinate and it has two outputs, 0 and 1. Thus, we can remove either (-1,0) or (-1,1) for the relationship to become a function.
