When there are variables with exponents on the bottom you have to subtract the ones on the bottom from the ones on the top. Then if the exponent is negative you have to flip it.

The area of a rectangular glass slab is 80 square centimeters and its perimeter is 36 centimeters. If the length and width of th

netineya [11]

First, you have to find out the values of the length and width.

Let l = length and w = width.

Set up your equation for area: l * w = 80

Set up your equation for perimeter: 2l + 2w = 36

We can use substitution for this problem, so find out the value of l or w. In this case, I will use the first equation to find out the value of l.

(Divide w on both sides) l = 80 / w

Since I know that l = 80 / w, I can substitute it into the second equation.

2l + 2w = 36, and l = 80 / w

= 2 (80/w) + 2w = 36

Simplify the equation.

= 160/w + 2w = 36

Get rid of the w in the denominator by multiplying the entire equation by w.

= ( 160/w + 2w = 36 ) * w

= 160 + $2w^{2}$ = 36w

= 2 ( w - 8 ) ( w - 10 )

The solutions for width (w) is 8 or 10. Then, you can use both 8 and 10 as your length and width, either or is fine. Multiply by 4 for each of those values and you get 8 x 4 = 32 and 10 x 4 = 40. The new perimeter would be 2(32) + 2(40) =

Hope this helped you! Let me know if there are any confusions :)

Graph f(x)=3x-1 and g(x)=2^x on the same coordinate plane.

julsineya [31]

Answer:

B. 1 and D. 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure below shows the graphs of f(x) = 3x - 1 (red) and g(x) = 2^x (blue).

The solutions of 3x - 1 = 2^x are the points at which the two curves intersect.

The solutions are at x = 1 and x = 3.

Check:

3 × 1 - 1 = 2¹ 3 × 3 -1 = 2³

3 - 1 = 2 9 - 1 = 8

2 = 2 8 = 8
