Question

Transcribed Image Text:Question #1
Matalea created a rectangle where the length was
eight more than the width. She then determined
that the area of a rectangle could be found by
using the function A(x) = x? +8x, where x is the
width of the rectangle. If the area of the rectangle
is 33 in.?, what is the width of the rectangle?

How wide isthe strip if one-half of the dock is treated? If we let x represent the width of thestrip, then we can use the equation (16 -2x)(12 - 2x) = 1/2(12)(16) to determinethat the width of the strip is 2 feet. I've been doing well with polynomials I just do not understand visually what "treated along both ends and sides" mean. What is the end of a rectangle? Also, I do not understand the 2 in '2x' (2 times the width of the strip) why is that added? I guess I am more concerned about how the equation actually maps to the real world scenario.arrow_forward

Express r as a function of V, and find the radius of a sphere with volume of 200 cubic feet. Round your answer for the radius to two decimal places. Enclose numerators and denominators in parentheses. For example, (a - b)/(1+n). Include a multiplication sign between symbols. For example, a * . r (V) = 640arrow_forward
