The length of a rectangle is twice as great as its width. When both the width and length are increased by 5 inches, the new rectangle has perimeter of 80 inches. Show an equation to find the length and width of the original rectangle. Solve the equation and give the original length and width.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Original rectangle

Length = 20 inches

Width = 10 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Original rectangle

Width = x

Length = 2x

When both the width and length are increased by 5 inches, the new rectangle has perimeter of 80 inches

New rectangle

Width = x + 5

Length = 2x + 5

Perimeter = 80 inches

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length + Width)

80 = 2{(x+5) + (2x+5)}

80 = 2( x + 5 + 2x + 5)

80 = 2(3x + 10)

80 = 6x + 20

80 - 20 = 6x

60 = 6x

x = 60 / 6

= 10

x = 10 inches

The length and width of the original rectangle

Width = x

= 10 inches

Length = 2x

= 2(10)

= 20 inches

Find the equation of a parabola with a vertex at (2, 4) and a known point at (-5, 2).
f (x) =

Answers

Answer:

           f(x) =  -²/₄₉(x - 2)² + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex form of an equation of the parabola:  

                                                         f(x) = a(x - p)² + q

vertex is (2, 4)  so  p = 2,  q = 4

so:

   f(x) = a(x - 2)² + 4

the parabola goes through the point (-5, 2) so  x=-5,  f(x)=2

  2 = a(-5-2)² + 4

  - 2 = a(49)

    a = -²/₄₉

Therefore the equation of the parabola in vertex form:

f(x) = -²/₄₉(x - 2)² + 4

Answers

As angle 6y° and angle( 13y - 10 )° are interior angles on the same side of transversal their sum will be equal to 180° .

Then :-

[tex]6y + 13y - 10 = 180[/tex]

[tex] 19y - 10 = 180[/tex]

[tex]19y = 180 + 10[/tex]

[tex]19y = 190[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{190}{19} [/tex]

[tex]y = 10[/tex]

Which means :-

= 13y - 10

= 13 × 10 - 10

= 130 - 10

= 120°

Then angle 6y :-

= 6 × 10

= 60°

As angle 60° and angle 9x + 12° are a linear their sum will also add up to form 180° .

Which can be written as :-

[tex]60 + 9x + 12 = 180[/tex]

[tex]9x + 72 = 180[/tex]

[tex]9x = 180 - 72[/tex]

[tex]9x = 108[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{108}{9} [/tex]

[tex]x = 12[/tex]

Then :-

= Angle 9x + 12

= 9 × 12 + 12

= 108 + 12

= 120°

Therefore , the value of y = 10 and the value of x = 12 .

y = 5x + 2 and y = 5x – 1 parallel, perpendicular, or neither

Answers

Answer:

Parallel

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope, in this equation it is a slope of 5.

The given lines are parallel in nature.

What is slope?

Numerical measure of a line's inclination relative to the horizontal.

Equation of a line is written in the form y = mx + b, it is called the slope-intercept form of the equation.

Given:

y = 5x + 2 and y = 5x – 1

The slope for line 1 is 5.

and, the slope for line 2 is 5.

For, perpendicular line the slope of both lines are negative inverse relation.

But here the slope of both line are same which have parallel nature.

Hence, both lines are parallel in nature.
