Let width be x feet
then the length = 2x + 3 feet

then the area = x(2x + 3) = 20

2x^2 + 3x - 20 = 0

(2x - 5)(x + 4) = 0

x = 2.5 or -4 ( ignore the negative value)

so the deimnasions are width = 2.5 feet and length = 2(2.5) + 3 = 8 feet

L*w=20, so l=20/w
l=2w+3

20/w=2w+3
20=2w^2+3w
2w^2+3w-20=0

Slip and slide
w^2+3w-40
(w+8)(w-5)
(w+8/2)(w-5/2)
(w+4)(2w-5)

w= -4 or 5/2, but since width must be positive, it is 5/2

(5/2)*l=20
l=8

Final answer: Length= 8, Width= 5/2

On a coordinate plane, two parabolas open up. The solid-line parabola, labeled f of x, goes through (negative 2, 4), has a verte

Answer:

$y = (x+4)^{2}+6$

Step-by-step explanation:

The parabola with vertex at point (h,k) is described by the following model:

$y - k = C\cdot (x-h)^{2}$

The equation which satisfies the conditions described above:

$y - 6 = (x+4)^{2}$

$y = (x+4)^{2}+6$

The two points are evaluated herein:

x = -6

$y =(-6+4)^{2}+6$

$y = (-2)^{2}+6$

$y = 4 + 6$

$y = 10$

x = -2

$y = (-2+4)^{2}+6$

$y = 2^{2} + 6$

$y = 4 + 6$

$y = 10$

The equation of the translated function is $y = (x+4)^{2}+6$ .
