Hi

length of a rectangle exceeds the width by 9 inches
Let x and (x+9)represent the width and length respectively
2(x+9) + 2x = 86"
4x = 68"
x = 17", the width. The length is 26" (17" + 9")

Hi
A guy wire is attached to the top of a 75 foot tower and meets the ground
at a 65 degree angle. How long is the wire?
sin 65 = opp/hyp = 75ft/hyp
hyp = 75ft/sin 65 = 82.75 ft, is the length of the wire

Hi
The 100th term of an arthmetic sequence is 138, and the common difference is 2.
Arithmetic Sequence
a%5Bn%5D=a%5B1%5D%2B%28n-1%29%2Ad
a%5B100%5D=a%5B1%5D%2B%2899%29%2A2+=+138
a%5B1%5D=+-60
the first three terms are {-60,-58,-56,...}

Hi
Is the function y + 2x^2= -2 quadratic?
y + 2x^2= -2
y = -2x^2 -2
Using the vertex form of a parabola, y=a%28x-h%29%5E2+%2Bk where(h,k) is the vertex
Vertex pt(0,-2) parbola open downwards: a = -2 < 0

Hi
Finding the center and radius of the circle: y^2=25-x^2
Standard Form of an Equation of a Circle is %28x-h%29%5E2+%2B+%28y-k%29%5E2+=+r%5E2
where Pt(h,k) is the center and r is the radius
y^2=25-x^2
x^2 + y^2 = 25 Center (0,0) aand r = 5
