Answer:

Width =  7 cm

Length = 15 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let width = w

Length = w + 8

Area of rectangle = 105 sq. cm

length * breadth = 105

(w + 8)*w = 105

Use distributive property

w² + 8w = 105

w² + 8w - 105 = 0

Sum = 8

Product = -105

Factors = 15 , -7   {15 +(-7) = 8 & 15*(-7) = -105}

w² - 7m + 15m - 105 = 0

w(w - 7) + 15(m - 7) = 0

(w - 7)(w + 15) = 0

Ignore w + 15= 0 as measurements will not be in negative value

w - 7 = 0

w = 7

Width = 7 cm

Length = 7 + 8 = 15 cm

Which graph shows y &lt; x² +1?<br> O<br> 4) Intro<br> •
Ket [755]

The graph at option 1 shows the given inequality y < x² + 1. The domain and range of the given inequality is {x: x ∈ (-∞, ∞)} and {y: y ∈ [1, ∞)}.

<h3>How to graph an inequality?</h3>

The steps to graph an inequality equation are:

  • Solve for the variable y in the given equation
  • Graph the boundary line for the inequality
  • Shade the region that satisfies the inequality.

<h3>Calculation:</h3>

The given inequality is y < x² + 1

Finding points to graph the boundary line by taking y = x² + 1:

When x = -2,

y = (-2)² + 1 = 4 + 1 = 5

⇒ (-2, 5)

When x = -1,

y = (-1)² + 1 = 2

⇒ (-1, 2)

When x = 0,

y = (0)² + 1 = 1

⇒ (0, 1)

When x = 1,

y = (1)² + 1 = 2

⇒ (1, 2)

When x = 2,

y = (2)² + 1 = 5

⇒ (2, 5)

Plotting these points in the graph forms an upward-facing parabola.

So, all the points above the vertex of the parabola satisfy the given inequality. Thus, that part is shaded.

From this, the graph at option 1 is the required graph for the inequality y < x² + 1. The boundary line is dashed since the inequality symbol is " < ".

Answer:

The second one

Step-by-step explanation:

She started with x dollars and then used 8 dollars to buy a football game ticket, so x-8. Then, she is left with 56 dollars, so x-8=56. Therefore, the second story represents the equation.
