The width of rectangle is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Area of rectangle; w²+4w=60

As w is the width, we will solve the equation to find w.

w^2+4w=60

Subtracting 60 from both sides

w^2+4w-60=0

Factorizing the equation;

w^2+10w-6w-60=0\\w(w+10)-6(w+10)=0\\(w+10)(w-6)=0

Either,

w+10=0         => w=-10

Or,

w-6=0           =>w=6

As width cannot be negative, therefore

Width = 6

The width of rectangle is 6.

Prove that the statement (ab)^n=a^n * b^n is true using mathematical induction.
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

      (ab)^n=a^n * b^n

We need to show that it is true for n=1

assuming that it is true for n = k;

(ab)^n=a^n * b^n

( ab) ^1 = a^1 * b^1

ab = a * b

ab = ab

Then we need to show that it is true for n = ( k+1)

or (ab)^(k+1)=a^( k+1) * b^( k+1)

Starting with

  (ab)^k=a^k * b^k    given

Multiply each side by ab

ab *  (ab)^k= ab *a^k * b^k

   ( ab) ^ ( k+1) = a^ ( k+1) b^ (k+1)

Therefore, the rule is true for every natural number n

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-6,-8) and has a slope of 1/3​
Arturiano [62]

y + 8 = 1/3 (x+6)

With the given information, we can use the point-slope formula, , to write the equation of the line. Substitute values for the  , , and  in the formula to do so.

The  represents the slope, so substitute  in its place. The  and  represent the x and y values of one point the line intersects, so substitute -6 for  and -8 for . This gives the following answer and equation (just make sure to convert the double negatives into positives:
