Let's say:
lengh=x
width=y
"The length of a rectangle is 4 inches greater than the width."
That means: x=y+4 (in inches).
the parameter is (by definition) 2*lenght+2*width.
so we have 2*x+2y=24.
we also know that x=y+4
Substituting:
2*(y+4)+2y=24.
2*y+8+2y=24
4*y+8=24//substitute 8 from both sides
4*y=16//dividing both sides by 4.
y=4
So the width is 4!
The lenght is y+4=8!
the dimensions are 4 by 8.
(check: 2*4+2*8=24, correct!)
Answer:
is less than one, smaller
<span>ax^2+bx+c
x^2-4x+3
(x-3)(x-1)=0
x=3, x=1 when y=0
The graph of the parabola has a minimum because a is positive.
(3+1)/2=2 so y will be at a minimum when x=2
f(x)=y=2^2-(4*2)+3
=4-8+3</span>
Answer
A ratio is a comparison of two quantities by division. Ratios describe a part-to-part comparison or a part-to-whole comparison. Ratios are written three ways: as a fraction, with a colon, and with the word “to.” The ratio for quantity a to quantity b is : a to b, a over b, and a:b
F(x)= -x + 2
Plug in the X and you will find the Y
