Answer:

length = 14 feet

width = 6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

A = 84 feet square

ratio of length and width = 7 : 3

total ratio of length and width 10 = a

length = (7/10)a

width = (3/10)a

A = length x width = (7/10)a x (3/10)a = (21/100)a² = 84

a² = 84 x 100 : 21 = 400

a = 20 feet

length = 7/10 x 20 = 14 feet

width = 3/10 x 20 = 6 feet

The graph of a linear function intersects with the x axis at a point with an abscissa of 4 and with the y axis at a point with a

goldenfox [79]

We know that

points are
x intercept
A (4,0)

y intercept
B (0,11)

step 1
find the equation of a line
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)--------> m=(11-0)/(0-4)------> m=-11/4

with m and the point B (0,11)
y-y1=m*(x-x1)y-11=(-11/4)*(x-0)---------> y=-(11/4)x+11

the answer is
the formula of the function is y=-(11/4)x+11

Solve the following new equation

mixer [17]

Answer:

<h3>x = 1.54 or x = - 4.54 to 2 decimal places</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 3x - 7 = 0

Using the quadratic formula

a = 1 b = 3 c = - 7

$x = \frac{3 ± \sqrt{ {3}^{2} - 4(1)( - 7) } }{2(1)} \\ x = \frac{ - 3± \sqrt{9 + 28} }{2} \\ \\ x = \frac{ -3 ± \sqrt{37} }{2} \\ \\ x = \frac{ - 3 + \sqrt{37} }{2} \: \: \: \: \: or \: \: \: x = \frac{ - 3 - \sqrt{37} }{2} \\ \\ x = 1.54 \: \: \: or \: \: x = - 4.54$

Does anyone know the minim value of the function f(x) =2x^2 -4x -6?. I’m online due to my quarantine and am looking for extra he

navik [9.2K]

Answer:

f(x) = - 8

Explanation:

The given function is

f(x) =2x^2 -4x -6

The first step is to find the derivative of the function. Recall, if

y = ax^b

y' = abx^(b - 1)

Thus,

f'(x) = 4x - 4

We would equate f'(x) to zero and solve for x. We have

4x - 4 = 0

4x = 4

x = 4/4

x = 1

We would substitute x = 1 into the original function and solve for f(x) or y. It becomes

f(1) =2(1)^2 -4(1) - 6 = 2 - 4 - 6

f(1) = - 8

Thus, the minimum value is f(x) = - 8
