Mathematics

Answer:

The first task in a word problem is to translate it into symbols.

First, give a name to each quantity:

Let w be the width of the rectangle

Notice the length = w+3

Let a be the area of the rectangle

Let p be the perimeter of the rectangle

Next, write down formulas relating the quantities

Step-by-step explanation:

a = w * (w+3)

p = 2w + 2(w+3)

We know p = 42, so

42 = 2w + 2(w+3)

im sure you know how to simplify and solve for w:

42 = 4w + 6

4w = 36

w = 9

now you’re ready to attack the area

a = w * (w+3) = 9 * (9+3)

can you take it from there?

The ratio of red paint to blue paint is 2:1. What does the ratio 2:1 mean?

Artemon [7]

This means the for every 2 units of red paint, there is 1 unit of blue paint
exg
in a mixture, mix a red and blue paint to get a type of purple that is the ratio of 2:1 (red:blue)
so exg if you wanted 3 gallons you would do 2 gallons of red+1 gallon of blue since 2+1=3
it could also mean quantity
there are 2 tiles painted red for every 1 tile painted blue resulting in 2 unit of red paint to 1 unit of blue

Write the quadratic function f(x) = (3-x)2 in standard form.

Nitella [24]

Answer:

$y = - 2x + 6$

Step-by-step explanation:

$since \: f(x) = y \\$

then the equation reads:

$y = (3 - x)2 \\ y = 6 - 2x \\$

The standard form of an quadratic function is:

$y = mx + c \\$

So the answer is:

$y = mx + c \\ y = - 2x + 6$

Bryan cuts a piece of cardboard in the shape of a trapezoid.the area of the cutout is 43.5 square centimeters.if the bases are 6

Nimfa-mama [501]

<span>trapezoid area = ((sum of the bases) ÷ 2) • height
height = </span>trapezoid area / ((sum of the bases) ÷ 2)
height = 43.5 / ((6 + 8.5) / 2)
height = 43.5 / ((14.5) / 2)
height = 43.5 / (7.5)
height = 6 centimeters
