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.

What is the equation of a line that passes through the point (1, 8) and is perpendicular to the line whose equation is y=x2+3 ?
Nonamiya [84]
<span>Perpendicular lines' slopes are reciprocals of one another. So we know the perpendicular line will have a slope of 1/2. Then we can use our points to find the rest. 8=1/2(1)+b 8=0.5+b 7.5=b y=2x+b</span>

N² + 14 = 12n<br>how do I solve by quadratic formula ​
inysia [295]

Answer:

n = 6 + \sqrt{22}  or  n = 6 - \sqrt{22}

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this equation using the quadratic formula OR Completing the Square method.

n² + 14 = 12n

rearrange :  n² - 12n + 14  = 0  

here  a= 1 , b = -12,  c = 14

the quadratic formula says:   x =  - b/ (2a)  +  root(b^2 - 4ac) / (2a)

or  x =  - b/ (2a)  -  root(b^2 - 4ac) / (2a)

x =  - (-12)/ (2)  +  root((-12)^2 - 4*14) / (2)

x = 6  +  root (144 - 56) / 2

x = 6 + root(88)/2

x = 6 + root(4*22) / 2

x = 6 + 2*root(22)/2

x = 6 + root(22)  = 6 + \sqrt{22}

so   x =6 + \sqrt{22}   or  x = 6 - \sqrt{22}

In this case  x = n

n = 6 + \sqrt{22}  or  n = 6 - \sqrt{22}
