Answer:

  3a by 4a

Step-by-step explanation:

For dimensions L and W, the area and perimeter are ...

  A = LW = 12a^2

  P = 2(L+W) = 14a

Using the second equation, we can find L:

  L +W = 7a . . . . . divide by 2

  L = 7a -W

Substituting into the area formula gives the quadratic ...

  (7a -W)(W) = 12a^2

  W^2 -7aW +12a^2 = 0 . . . . arrange in standard form

  (W -3a)(W -4a) = 0 . . . . . . . factor (find factors of 12 that total 7)

Then we have the two solutions ...

  W = 3a, L = 4a

  W = 4a, L = 3a

The rectangle dimensions are 3a by 4a.

Given f(x) = 5x - 6 and g(x) = x2 - 5x + 6, find the function (f + g)(x). Use the ^ key for the exponent. Enter your answer as t
sesenic [268]
The answer is x².

f(x) = <span>5x - 6
</span>g(x) = x²<span> - 5x + 6

(f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x)
              = </span>5x - 6 + x² - 5x + 6
              = x² + 5x - 5x + 6 - 6
              = x² + 0 + 0
              = x²

How do you graph y=2x-10
bixtya [17]
One of the easier approaches would be that of x- and y-intercepts.

Setting x=0 results in y=-10; the y-intercept is (0, -10).
Setting y = 0 results in x = 5, so the x-intercept is (5,0).

Plot these 2 points.  Then draw a str. line thru these points.

What is the Greatest common factor of 18x^2 and 36x
loris [4]

For this case we have that by definition, the Greatest Common Factor or GFC of two or more numbers, is the largest number that divides them without leaving residue.

So:

We look for the factors of 18 and 36:

18: 1,2,3,6,9,18

36: 1, 2,3,4, 6,9,18 ...

Thus, the GFC of both numbers is 18.

Then, the GFC of18x ^ 2 and 36x is:

18x

Answer:

18x

What is 3/4 x 2/3 in simplest form?
Svetradugi [14.3K]
To multiply fractions, you just multiply across so you'd do:
3 × 2 = 6
4 × 3 = 12
The answer is 6/12, but it asks for the simplest form so you can simplify to 1/2. I hope this helps!
