<h3>Given :-</h3>
  • The length of a rectangle is 6 more than the width

  • Area of rectangle = 720 feet²

\\

<h3>To find:-</h3>
  • Length
  • Width

\\

<h3>Let :-</h3>
  • Width of rectangle = x
  • Length of rectangle = 6 + x

\\

<h3>Solution:-</h3>

So to find length and width of rectangle, we have to<u> find value of x.</u>

\\

We know:-

\bigstar \boxed{ \rm Area~of~rectangle=Length\times{}Width}

By using this formula we can find value of x.

\\

So:-

\\

\dashrightarrow\sf Area~of~rectangle=Length\times{}Width \\

\\

\dashrightarrow\sf 720=(x + 6)(x)

\\

\dashrightarrow\sf 720=x(x) +x( 6)

\\

\dashrightarrow\sf 720= {x}^{2}  +x( 6)

\\

\dashrightarrow\sf 720= {x}^{2}  +6x

\\

\dashrightarrow\sf0 = {x}^{2}  +6x - 720

\\

\dashrightarrow\sf {x}^{2}  +6x - 720 = 0

\\

\dashrightarrow\sf {x}^{2}  +30x - 24x - 720 = 0

\\

\dashrightarrow\sf ({x}^{2}  +30x )- 24x - 720 = 0

\\

\dashrightarrow\sf x({x}+30 )- 24x - 720 = 0

\\

\dashrightarrow\sf x({x}+30 ) + (- 24x - 720) = 0 \\

\\

\dashrightarrow\sf x({x}+30 ) - 24(x+ 30) = 0 \\

\\

\dashrightarrow\sf (x - 24)({x}+30 )= 0 \\

\\

We got two solutions:-

first solution

  • x - 24 = 0
  • x = 24

Second solution :-

  • x + 30 = 0
  • x = -30

Length can't be taken negative so 24 is the value of x.

\\

Value of width:-

  • Width of rectangle = x
  • Width = 24 feet

\\

Value of Length:-

  • Length of rectangle = x + 6
  • Length = 24 + 6
  • Length = 30 feet

If a cannonball is shot directly upward with a velocity of 160 ft per​ second, its height above the ground after t seconds is gi
Contact [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

If a cannonball is shot directly upward with a velocity of 160 ft per​ second. Its height as a function of time is given by :

h(t)=160t-16t^2 .......(1)

t is in seconds

(a) Velocity is given by :

v=\dfrac{dh}{dt}\\\\v=\dfrac{d(160t-16t^2)}{dt}\\\\v=(160-32t)\ ft/s  

Acceleration is given by :

a=\dfrac{dv}{dt}\\\\a=\dfrac{d(160-32t)}{dt}\\\\a=-32\ ft/s^2

(b) For maximum height put \dfrac{dh}{dt}=0

i.e.

160-32t=0\\\\t=5\ s

Put t = 5 s in equation (1). So,

h(5)=160t-16t^2\\\\h(5)=160(5)-16(5)^2\\\\h(5)=400\ ft

(c) When the ball reaches ground, its height is equal to 0. So,

h(t) = 0

160t-16t^2=0\\\\t(160-16t)=0\\\\t=0,t=10\ s

Hence, this is the required solution.

Which function does this graph correspond to?
tiny-mole [99]
ANSWER

The function that the given graph corresponds to is
f(x) = (x - 2)(x - 1)(x + 1)(x  + 2)



EXPLANATION

The given graph in the attachment has x-intercepts at

x =  - 2 ,x=-1,x=1  \:  \: and   \: \: x=2


These are the solutions of the polynomial function represented by the given graph.




We can write all these solutions as factors to obtain,

x  + 2  ,x + 1 ,x - 1   \:  \:and \:  \: x - 2


The product of all these factors gives us the function whose graph was drawn.


This implies that,

f(x) = (x - 2)(x - 1)(x + 1)(x  + 2)


Therefore the correct answer is option C.
