Let

x--------> original length side of a square


we know that

area rectangle=length*width

area=126 in²

length=(x+8)

width=(x-3)

so

126=(x+8)*(x-3)------> x²-3x+8x-24=126----> x²+5x-150=0


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

see the attached figure

the solution is

x=10 in


the answer is

the original length side of a square is 10 in

Consider the curve y = x − x3. (a) Find the slope of the tangent line to the curve at the point (1, 0). (b) Find an equation of
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

a) mt = -2

b) y=2-2x

Step-by-step explanation:

We have y=x-x^{3}  ⇒  f(x)=x-x^{3} and we must find

a) The slope of the tangent line to the curve at the point (1,0)

b) The equation of the tangent line in part (a)

a) f(x)=x-x^{3} with the point (1,0) then f'(x) =1-3x^{2} the slope (mt) in x=1 is

f'(1)=1-3(1^{2})=1-3=-2  ,  m t= -2

b) mt=-2 at the point (1,0), knowing that the pending point model  is:

y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1}), we solve y-0 = -2(x-1) ⇒ y=-2x+2

44 students completed some homework and the histogram shows information about the times taken. Work out an estimate of the inter
Vilka [71]

Answer:

q1=11

q3= 33

Step-by-step explanation:

The data set has 44 number of students. The first quartile is 25 %  of the numbers in the data set . So

25 % of 44 = 25/100 * 44= 0.25 *44 = 11

So the first quartile lies at 11.

Similarly the third quartile lies at the 75 % of the numbers of the data set . So

75 % of 44 = 75/100 * 44= 0.75 *44 = 33

So the third quartile lies at 33.

On a coordinate plane, line P Q goes through (negative 6, 4) and (4, negative 4). Point R On a coordinate plane, a line goes thr
Nitella [24]

Answer:

x + 2y = 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Line goes through (-4, 0) and (4, -4).

The slope is (-4 - 0) / (4 - -4) = -4 / (4 + 4) = -4 / 8 = -1/2.

Since we are looking for the equation of the line parallel to that line, the slope will be the same.

We have an equation of y = -1/2x + b. We have a point at (2, 3). We can then say that y = 3 when x = 2.

3 = (-1/2) * 2 + b

b - 1 = 3

b = 4.

So, we have y = -1/2x + 4.

1/2x + y = 4

x + 2y = 8.

Hope this helps!
