What question I didn't get it
set x=0 to get insights.
at x=0 to the functions are
-2(0-2)²+3 = -5
-2(0+2)²-3 = -11
-2(0-2)²+3 = -5
-2(0-2)²-3 = -11
weird, for some reason option 1 and 3 seem to be the same, maybe that's an accident by the author.
maybe a + was intended inside the parentheses, dunno.
option 1 and 3 seem fine, although I think there is an error in the options. they shouldn't be exactly the same
Formulas:
y=x-2
y=-1x+6
You'll basically just graph these which you said you can do, and if you don't want to, just input these formulas in Desmos Graphing Calculator, and the point that they intersect is your answer for the point of intersection
Answer: The width is 14m
Step-by-step explanation: The question has provided the perimeter as 60. The available clues are such that the length measures 2m more than it's width. This means whatever is the width of the rectangle, the length shall be equal to plus 2. Hence, if the width is W, the length is W + 2.
So we have,
Perimeter = 60
Length = W + 2 and
Width = W
Already the perimeter is given as
Perimeter = 2(L + W)
We can now express the perimeter as follows;
60 = 2(W + 2 + W)
60 = 2(2 + 2W)
By cross multiplication we now have
60/2 = 2 + 2W
30 = 2 + 2W
Subtract 2 from both sides of the equation
28 = 2W
Divide both sides of the equation by 2
14 = W.
Remember that the length is given as W + 2, so the length becomes
14 + 2 = 16
Therefore, the width equals 14 m.
