Subtract 8x from both sides
4x-8=-20
add 8 both sides
4x=-12
divide 4 both sides
x=-3

First, we need to set up our two equations. For the picture of this scenario, there is one length (L) and two widths (W) because the beach removes one of the lengths. We will have a perimeter equation and an area equation.

P = L + 2W

A = L * W

Now that we have our equations, we need to plug in what we know, which is the 40m of rope.

40 = L + 2W

A = L * W

Then, we need to solve for one of the variables in the perimeter equation. I will solve for L.

L = 40 - 2W

Now, we can substitute the value for L into L in the area equation and get a quadratic equation.

A = W(40 - 2W)

A = -2W^2 - 40W

The maximum area will occur where the derivative equals 0, or at the absolute value of the x-value of the vertex of the parabola.

V = -b/2a

V = 40/2(2) = 40/4 = 10

Derivative:

-4w - 40 = 0

-4w = 40

w = |-10| = 10

To find the other dimension, use the perimeter equation.

40 = L + 2(10)

40 = L + 20

L = 20m

Therefore, the dimensions of the area are 10m by 20m.

Hope this helps!

What is f−1(f(x)) = f(f−1(x)) = equal to????? please help
wel

the assumption here is that the function f(x), has an inverse function of f⁻¹(x), so let's assume that is indeed the case, f⁻¹(x) is the inverse function of f(x).


for functions and their inverse, if they're indeed inverse of each other, then


f⁻¹( f(x) ) = x

f( f⁻¹(x) ) = x.

The height of a triangle is 4 m less than its base. The area of the triangle is 48 m². What is the length of the base? Enter you
coldgirl [10]

The length of the base of the triangle is 12m

<h3>Area of a triangle</h3>

The formula for calculating the area of a triangle is expressed as:

A = 0.5 * base * height

If the height of a triangle is 4 m less than its base, then;

h = b - 4

Substitute

A = 0.5(b)(b-4)

48 = 0.5b²-2b

b²-4b - 96 = 0

Factorise

b² - 12b + 8b - 96 = 0

b(b-12)+8()b-12) = 0
b - 12 = 0

b = 12

Hence the length of the base of the triangle is 12m
