Answer:

Length=10.5\ ft

Width=10.5\ ft

Area=110.25\ ft^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x----> the length of the rectangular garden

y---> the width of the rectangular garden

we know that

The perimeter of the rectangle is equal to

P=2(x+y)

we have

P=42\ ft

so

42=2(x+y)

simplify

21=(x+y)

y=21-x------> equation A

Remember that the area of rectangle is equal to

A=xy ----> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B

A=x(21-x)

A=21x-x^{2}----> this is a vertical parabola open downward

The vertex is a maximum

The y-coordinate of the vertex is the maximum area

The x-coordinate of the vertex is the length side of the rectangle that maximize the area

using a graphing tool

The vertex is the point (10.5,110.25)

see the attached figure

so

x=10.5\ ft

Find the value of y

y=21-10.5=10.5\ ft

The garden is a square

the area is equal to

A=(10.5)(10.5)=110.25\ ft^{2} ----> is equal to the y-coordinate of the vertex is correct

Given: f(x) = x - 7 and h(x) = 2x + 3 Write the rule for f(h(x)).
azamat
F(h(x)) means wherever you see x in the f(x) function you're gonna plug in the h(x) function:
f(h(x)) = (2x + 3) - 7
= 2x + 3 - 7
= 2x - 4

Three ways to write 3 to the 5th power
cestrela7 [59]

First expression

=>  3 x  3 x  3 x 3 x 3 – In this expression, we multiplied 3 5 times and the product is 243

Second expression

=> 3 ^ 5 , in where ^ read as raised to the power. , the product is also 243

Third expression

=> 3^2 x 3 ^3

=> (3 x 3) x (3 x 3 x 3)

=> 9 x 27, the product is also equals to 243.

How many solutions does the equation |x + 6| − 4 = c have if c = 5? If c = −10? Complete the explanation
mixer [17]

Answer:

<h2>For c = 5 → two solutions</h2><h2>For c = -10 → no solutions</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

We know

|a|\geq0

for any real value of <em>a</em>.

|a| = b > 0 -  <em>two solutions: </em>a = b or a = -b

|a| = 0 - <em>one solution: a = 0</em>

|a| = b < 0 - <em>no solution</em>

<em />

|x + 6| - 4 = c

for c = 5:

|x + 6| - 4 = 5           <em>add 4 to both sides</em>

|x + 6| = 9 > 0   <em>TWO SOLUTIONS</em>

for c = -10

|x + 6| - 4 = -10           <em>add 4 to both sides</em>

|x + 6| = -6 < 0   <em>NO SOLUTIONS</em>

<em></em>

Calculate the solutions for c = 5:

|x + 6| = 9 ⇔ x + 6 = 9 or x + 6 = -9         <em>subtract 6 from both sides</em>

x = 3 or x = -15
