Answer:

Option A. x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Area (A) = x² + 2x – 3

Width (W) = x – 1

Lenght (L) =?

The area of a rectangle is given by:

Area (A) = length (L) × Width (W)

A = L × W

With the above formula, we can obtain the lenght of the rectangle as follow:

Area (A) = x² + 2x – 3

Width (W) = x – 1

Lenght (L) =?

A = L × W

(x² + 2x – 3) = L(x – 1)

Divide both side by (x – 1)

L = (x² + 2x – 3) / (x – 1)

Please see attached photo for explanation

L = x + 3

Thus, the length of the rectangle is x + 3

Find the sum of -3x2 -4x+3 and 2x2-x+3
Alika [10]

Answer:

Assuming the 2 at the ends are the exponents,

the answer is -x^2-5x+6 (x^2+5x-6)

from here, it cannot be simplified more

Explanation --

Just add everything by putting the terms in parentheses and adding them.

Keep simplifying by putting the like terms together and adding/subtracting them.

At the end, you come up with -x^2-5x+6, so multiply -1 on the whole thing (by putting parentheses on its sides. This makes x positive. But they are the same thing, but this step is just for simplifying the end product a little more.

Hope this helps!! Have a nice day!

From x=1 to x=5
x=1 is starting time
x=time
y=mx+b
m=slope
b=yintercept

slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
for points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2)

(1,52000) and (5,116000)
slope=(116000-52000)/(5-1)=64000/4=16000
y=16000x+b
find b
(1,52000)
52000=16000(1)+b
52000=16000+b
minus 16000 from both sides
36000=b


the equation is
y=16000x+36000

at 12 years, x=12
y=16000(x)+36000
y=16000(12)+36000
y=192000+36000
y=228000

sales at year 12 is $228,000

Describe two ways to tell if a graph is a function
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

Inspect the graph to see if any vertical line drawn would intersect the curve more than once. If there is any such line, the graph does not represent a function. If no vertical line can intersect the curve more than once, the graph does represent a function.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope that helps you out!

I wouldnt mind if you marked brainliest hehehe

What is the volume of a hemisphere with a radius of 6.5 ft, rounded to the
defon

Answer:

Answer:574.9ft^3.

Step-by-step explanation:

radius (r) = 6.5feet

π=3.14

volume of hemisphere=2/3 x π x r^3

Volume=2/3 x 3.14 x (6.5) ^3

Volume=2/3 x 3.14 x 6.5 x 6.5 x 6.5

Volume = (2x3.14x6.5x6.5x6.5) ➗ 3

Volume=1724.645 ➗ 3

Volume=574.9ft^3
