Answer:

x = 23, and y = 27.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets say,

x = width

y = length

this means,

x(2) + y(2) = 100

It also says that the width is 4 meters less than the length.

if we put that into equation form it would look like this,

y - 4 = x

using these 2 equations, we can use the subustusion method to find the x.

x(2) + y(2) = 100

turns in to this :

step 1.     (y - 4) (2) + y(2) = 100 - given

step 2.      2y -8 + 2y = 100 -  distribute

step 3.      4y -8 = 100 - Combine like terms

step 4.       4y  = 108 - Get rid of the 8

step 5        4y/4  = 108 /4 - divide

step 6 .          y = 27

So if y is 27, then

x(2)  +  27(2) = 100

x(2) + 54 = 100

100 - 54 = 46, so x(2) is 46, but to get x, we need to divide 46 by 2, since x multiplied by 2 equals 46.

46  / 2 = 23 = x

so x = 23, and y = 27.

and the rule that y - 4 = x still applies, since 27 - 4 = 23.

I hope this wasn't confusing! It did take a long time tho.

A ball is thrown upward from the top of a building. The function below shows the height of the ball in relation to sea level, f(
gavmur [86]
We have the following function:
 f(t) = −16t2 + 34t + 546
 By definition, the average rate of change is:
 Avr = (f (t2) - f (t1)) / (t2 - t1)
 We have then:
 For t1 = 5:
 f (5) = -16*(5)^2 + 34*(5) + 546
 f (5) = 316
 For t2 = 5:
 f (7) = -16*(7)^2 + 34*(7) + 546
 f (7) = 0
 Substituting values:
 Avr = (0 - 316) / (7 - 5)
 Avr = -158
 Answer:
 The average rate of change of f (t) from t = 5 seconds to t = 7 seconds is -158 feet per second.

A parabola opens up and passes through (-4, 2) and (6, -3). How do you know that (-4, 2) is not the vertex
Ainat [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The minimum is at the vertex of this parabola because it opens up.

Now if (-4, 2) is the minimum then  all the y values on the parabola must be > 2,

But we are given that  y = -3 is on the graph ( the point (6,-3) - that is y < 2 here,

Therefore (-4, 2)  cannot be the vertex .
