Answer:

Width = 16 cm

Length = 12 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the rectangle be represented as x

Width = x cm

Length = (x - 4) cm

Area = L*W = 192 cm²

Thus:

x * (x - 4) = 192

x² - 4x = 192

x² - 4x - 192 = 0

Factorize

x² - 16x + 12x - 192

x(x - 16) +12(x - 16)

(x - 16)(x + 12)

x = 16 or x = -12

Width cannot be a negative number, therefore, the width of the rectangle = x = 16 cm

Width = x = 16 cm

Length = (x - 4) cm = (16 - 4) = 12 cm

12 to the third over 12 to the seventh (12^3/12^7)? the answers are 12^4, 1/12^4, 1/12^-4, or 12^10
vaieri [72.5K]

12^3 / 12^7

Cancel out the common factor:

Multiply the numerator by 1:

12^3 * 1 / 12^7

Factor 12^3 out of the denominator to get:

12^3 * 1 / 12^3 * 12^4

Now cancel the common factor to get:

1/12^4

Farmer Jan is a vegetable farmer who divides his field between broccoli crops and spinach crops. Last year, he grew 6 tons of br
ankoles [38]

Answer:

There is no unique solution to this problem.

There are infinitely many solutions to this problem.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let B denotes broccoli crop

Let S denotes spinach crop

Last year, he grew 6 tons of broccoli per acre and 9 tons of spinach per acre, for a total of 93 tons of vegetables.

Mathematically,

6B + 9S = 93        eq. 1

This year, he grew 2 tons of broccoli per acre and 3 tons of spinach per acre, for a total of 31 tons of vegetables.

Mathematically,

2B + 3S = 31

2B = 31 -  3S

B = (31 -  3S)/2      eq. 2

Substitute eq. 2 into eq. 1

6B + 9S = 93

6[(31 -  3S)/2] + 9S = 93

3(31 -  3S) + 9S = 93

93 - 9S + 9S = 93

- 9S + 9S = 93 - 93

0 = 0

Therefore, there is no unique solution to this problem.

Which means that there are infinitely many solutions to this problem.

3. Graph y=-4x² – 2 and its inverse. (1 point)
madam [21]

Function and its inverse was graphed.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

y = -4x²- 2

To find the inverse function of   y = -4x²- 2 we have to transform the formula to calculate  x in terms of y.

y = -4x²- 2

-4x² = y - 2

x = √(y-2) / -4

Now we can change the letters to follow the convention that  x is the independent variable and  y is the function's value:

y = √(x-2) / -4

Now we have to draw the graph as,

It was side by side that is LHS is the function and the RHS is its inverse.
