Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let, the length is z

thus the ratio will be 5z : 4z

perimeter = 2 (a + b)

360 = 2 ( 5z + 4z )

180 = 9z

z = 20 cm

length = 100 cm and width = 80cm

area = length * width

area = 100*80

area = 8000cm²

For a diamond problem what two numbers' sums equal 31 and their product is 234?

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Let

x-------> the first number

y------> the second number

we know that

$x+y=31$

$x=31-y$

equation $1$

$x*y=234$

equation $2$

substitute equation 1 in equation 2

$(31-y)*y=234\\ 31y-y^{2} =234\\ -y^{2} +31y-234=0$

using a graph tool-----> to resolve the second order equation

see the attached figure

the solution is

$13 and 18$

Which function has a range of {yly < 5}?

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

f(x) = -(x-4)^2 + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The function $f(x) = -(x-4)^2 + 5$ is a quadratic function. Its graph looks like a parabola. The graph has a vertex of (4,5) and opens up downward.

Proving that $f(x) = -(x-4)^2 + 5 \le 5$ for all x:

$x^2 \ge 0 \Rightarrow (x-4)^2 \ge 0 \Rightarrow -(x-4)^2 \le 0 \Rightarrow -(x-4)^2 + 5 \le 5.$
