Answer:

the length=8

the rectangle=5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

+)convention:

the lengt=a

the width = b => the area of the rectangle = a.b=44m^2 (1)

+) "the length of the rectangle is 3m less than twice the width"

=> 2b-a = 3 (m)

=> a=2b-3

substitute a for (1), we get

the area of the rectangle = a.b = (2b-3).b=44 m^2

=> 2b^2-3b-44=0

=> b=-4 (wrong)

=> b= 5.5 =the width

the lengt = the area of the rectangle/the width=44/5.5=8 m

Describe the graph that would be used to solve the equation-x^2 + 4 = x+2
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

The values of x are x = -2 and x= 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation -x²+4 = x+2 can be written in the form of two functions as

y = -x²+4 which is a function representing parabola and

y = x+2 which is a straight line.

Now we will solve the given equation to find their points of intersection on graph. Their points of intersections will be the answer.

-x²+4 = x+2

-x²+4-x = x+2-x

-x²-x+4 = 2

-x²-x+4-2 = 2-2

-x²-x+2 = 0

Or x²+x-2=0

Now we will factorize the equation.

x²+2x-x-2=0

x(x+2)-1(x+2) = 0

(x+2)(x-1) = 0

x+2 = 0 ⇒x = -2

x-1 = 0 ⇒x = 1

For x = 1, y will be 3

and for x = -2, y will be 0

Now we can see the graph for the given coordinates (-2,0) and (1,3).
