Answer:

The width  of the rectangle is 14'8",  and the length is 33'4"

Step-by-step explanation:

We're given two pieces of information:

The length is eight more than twice the width:

l = 2w + 4

The perimeter is 96 feet:

p = 96

We also need to apply one more piece of information that is not provided here, and that is the relationship between the perimeter of a rectangle, and it's length and width:

p = 2l + 2w

We can solve for w by plugging the other two values into the last:

p = 2w + 2l\\96 = 2w + 2(2w + 4)\\96 = 2w + 4w + 8\\88 = 6w\\3w = 44\\w = \frac{44}{3}\\w = 14\frac{2}{3}

Now we can find the length by plugging w into the first equation:

l = 2w + 4\\l = 2(14\frac{2}{3}) + 4\\l = 29\frac{1}{3} + 4\\l = 33\frac{1}{3}

One third of  a foot is four inches, so the width is 14'8" and the length is 33'4"

To make sure our answer is correct, we should plug those numbers back into the area equation and see if we're right:

p = 2l + 2w\\p = 2(33\frac{1}{3}) + 2(14\frac{2}{3})\\p = 66\frac{2}{3} + 29\frac{1}{3}\\p = 96

So we know our answer's correct

In the table below, y varies inversely as x. What is the missing value?
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

<h2>The value of y is <u>0.5</u>, so the answer is <u>C</u>.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Find first the constant of variation.

Given: x = 3, y = 4

Find: k = ?

Formula:

y =  \frac{k}{x}

Solution:

y =  \frac{k}{x}  \\ 4 =  \frac{k}{3}  \\ 12 = k

Then, find the value of y in the third box.

Given: x = 24, k = 12

Find: y = ?

Formula:

y =  \frac{k}{x}

Solution:

y =  \frac{k}{x}  \\ y =   \frac{12}{24} \\ y =  \frac{1}{2} \\\boxed{y = 0.5}

valkas [14]

Answer:

x-ints:  (2,0) & (4,0)

y-int:  (0,-8)

vertex: (3,1)  *highest point of the graph

line of symmetry: x = 3  *x-value in the middle of x-ints

a value is -#  *if parabola points done it's negative, if it points up it's positive
