So, the area of a rectangle is LxW. For this rectangle, LxW=320. We also know that the length is 4 feet longer than the width, that is L=W+4. With some substitution, we get(W+4)W=320. Simplify to get W^2+4w=320. Now the fun part! When we complete the square, we'll end up with (W+___)^2, right? So, let's take half of 4, which is 2, and square it. That's 4. Add that 4 to what we already have:W^2+4W+4. But remember, what we do to one side of an equation we must do to the other side. So we really have W^2+4W+4=320+4.We simplify and get W^2+4W+4=324. Factor the left side of the equation and get(W+2)^2=324. When we take the square root of both sides of the equation we getW+2=18, so W=16, which means the length (4 ft longer) is 20 ft. Do you have questions about the completing the square part? In a trinomial, the coefficient in the x term is the sum of the two factors and the constant term is the product. So, in the completing the square, you have the sum of a number added to itself or 2 times that factor. That's why we take half of it. Then, we square it to get the constant term. Square completed. But don't forget to keep the balance in the equation by also adding the constant term to the other side.

W^2+4W+4. But remember, what we do to one side of an equation we must do to the other side. So we really have W^2+4W+4=320+4.

We simplify and get W^2+4W+4=324. Factor the left side of the equation and get (W+2)^2=324. When we take the square root of both sides of the equation we get W+2=18, so W=16, which means the length (4 ft longer) is 20 ft.

Answer from: Quest

the required function is $y=-x+4$ .

step-by-step explanation:

from the given table it is noticed that the graph passing through (-3,7), (0,4), (3,1) and (8,-4).

it is a linear function because the value of y is decrease by one as the value of x increase by 1.

the slope of the function is

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{4-7}{)}=\frac{-3}{3}=-1$

the slope of the function is -1 and the y-intercept is 4.

the slope intercept form is

$y=mx+b$

where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.

$y=-1x+4$

$y=-x+4$

therefore the required function is $y=-x+4$ . the graph of this function is shown below.
