Which equation would best help solve the following problem?

Mathematics

Hello!

The problem has given us a garden that measures 12 meters by 14 meters. She wants to increase the total area by increasing the length and width by the same amount. These two phrases (bold) can be used to find the correct equation.

Holly wants to increase the length of the two sides. Therefore, we can eliminate the following two equations:

255 = (12)(14)
255 = (12 – x)(14 – x)

The first equation does not increase either side, but rather keeps both sides at their original length. The second equation decreases the measure of both sides. Holly has also said that she wants to increase both sides by “the same amount.” Therfore, we can also eliminate the following equation:

255 = (12 + x^{2})(14)

This equation only increases the measure of one side. There is now only one equation remaining:

255 = (12 + x)(14 + x)

This equation increases both sides of the garden by the same amount. Therfore, we can conclude that the correct equation is 255 = (12 + x)(14 + x).

I hope this helps!

If f(x) = 7 + 4x and g (x) = StartFraction 1 Over 2 x EndFraction, what is the value of (StartFraction f Over g EndFraction) (5)
Degger [83]

Answer:

\frac{f}{g}(5) = 270 ⇒ Last answer

Step-by-step explanation:

* If f(x) = 7 + 4x

* If g(x) = \frac{1}{2x}

* We want to find \frac{f}{g}(5)

- Lets find at first \frac{f}{g}(x)

∵ f(x) = 7 + 4x

∵ g(x) = \frac{1}{2x}

∴ \frac{f}{g}(x)=\frac{7+4x}{\frac{1}{2x}}

- Lets divide the numerator by the denominator

∵ The numerator is 7 + 4x

∵ The denominator is \frac{1}{2x}

∴ (7 + 4x) ÷ \frac{1}{2x}

- Lets reverse the division sign to multiplication sign and reciprocal

  the fraction after the division sign

∴ (7 + 4x) × \frac{2x}{1}

∴ \frac{f}{g}(x) = 2x(7 + 4x)

∴ \frac{f}{g}(x) = 14x + 8x²

- Now substitute x by 5

∴  \frac{f}{g}(5) = 14(5) + 8(5)² = 70 + 200 = 270

∴  \frac{f}{g}(5) = 270

If f(x) = 1/6 x-8, then f^-1(x)=
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

f^-1(x) is 6x + 48

f(x) = 1/6x - 8

To find f^-1(x) equate f(x) to y

That's

f(x) = y

y = 1/6x - 8

Next interchange the terms

We have

x = 1/6y - 8

Make y the subject

Multiply through by 6

We have

6x = y - 48

y = 6x + 48

Therefore f^-1(x) is 6x + 48

Hope this helps you

Complete the square<br> to find the vertex<br> of this parabola.<br> x?+8y+2x - 23=0
trapecia [35]

Answer:

The vertex of the parabola is;

([-1], [3])

Step-by-step explanation:

The given quadratic equation is presented as follows;

x² + 8·y + 2·x - 23 = 0

The equation of the parabola in vertex form is presented as follows;

y = a·(x - h)² + k

Where;

(h, k) = The vertex of the parabola

Therefore, we have;

x² + 8·y + 2·x - 23 = 0

8·y = -x² - 2·x + 23

y = 1/8·(-x² - 2·x + 23)

y = -1/8·(x² + 2·x - 23)

y = -1/8·(x² + 2·x + 1 - 23 - 1) = -1/8·(x² + 2·x + 1 - 24)

y =  -1/8·((x + 1)² - 24) =  -1/8·(x + 1)² + 3

Therefore, the equation of the parabola in vertex form is y =  -1/8·(x + 1)² + 3

Comparing with y = a·(x - h)² + k, we have;

a = -1/8, h = -1, and k = 3

Therefore, the vertex of the parabola, (h, k) = (-1, 3).
