Answer:

length of a rectangle is 1 foot more than twice the width

Let x and (2x+1)represent the width and length respectively

P = 2x + 2(2x+1) = 20ft

6x = 18ft

x = 3ft, the width. the length is 7ft (2*3+1)

What is the Lcm of 2 and 7

wel

Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

The least common multiple is a number that both numbers can multiply something to get to, and the smallest possible common one.

Let's try listing out the multiples of 2:

2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20

And the multiples of 7:

7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70

Notice that both have the number 14 in common, and it is the first number that they do so. There are lots of other multiples that they have in common too, but 14 is the least.

Please find which quadratic equation matches the graph with work attached

lesya [120]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we know that the function must be negative due to its shape. This means that the answer cannot be B

Next we can use the equation $x=\frac{-b}{2a}$ that is used in order to find the vertex of the parabola.

A)

$f(x)=-x^2+6x+7\\a=-1,b=6,c=7\\\\x=\frac{-6}{-2} \\x=3$

As the vertex is at x=3 on the graph, this one could be a contender.

C)

$f(x)=-x^2+6x-7\\a=-1,b=6, c=-7\\\\x=\frac{-6}{-2} \\\\x=3$

This also could be the equation

D)

$f(x)=-x^2-6x-7\\\\a=-1, b=-6, c=-7\\\\x=\frac{6}{-2} \\\\x=-3$

This rules option D out.

For this last step, we can look at where the zeroes would be for each equation. (These values are irrational, so we cannot look at specific number)

A)

$f(x)=-(x^2-6x-7)$

As this equation has a negative value for c, this means that one zero must be positive and the other must be negative.

This means that option A can be ruled out

C)

$f(x)=-(x^2-6x+7)$

As this equation has a positive value for c, this means that both of the zeroes must be positive. This means that it is the only one that fits all of the criteria.
