Answer:

40 in

Step-by-step explanation:

For a width of w, the length is 3w and the area and perimeter are ...

A = LW = (3w)(w) = 3w^2

P = 2(L+W) = 2(3w +w) = 8w

We are given the area, so we can find w to be ...

75 in^2 = 3w^2

25 in^2 = w^2 . . . . . divide by 3

5 in = w . . . . . . . . . square root

Then the perimeter is ...

P = 8w = 8(5 in) = 40 in

The distance on the number line from -10 to -2 equals 5x – 12. What is the value of x?

Troyanec [42]

It would be: - 2 - (-10) = 5x - 12

= -2 + 10 = 5x - 12

= 8 + 12 = 5x

= x = 20 / 5

= x = 4

Is (x+7) a factor of f(x) x3-3x2+ 2x-8?

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

(x+7) is not a factor

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If (x+7) is a factor of f(x)

then

For $x=-7, f(-7)=0$

Verify

we have

$f(x)=x^{3}-3x^{2} +2x-8$

Substitute x=-7

$f(-7)=(-7)^{3}-3(-7)^{2} +2(-7)-8$

$f(-7)=-343-147 -14-8$

$f(-7)=--512$

$-512\neq 0$

therefore

(x+7) is not a factor
