Please help i dont know this The width, w, of a rectangular rug is 4 less than its length, L. If the perimeter of the rug is 120 square feet, which equation could be used to find the dimensions of the rug?

i'm a sophomore in connections, i'd recommend checking on jishka.com they have a large range of questions and answers from our school.

can i see a photo of the question so i can you?

the equation of the parabola is y2=12x

explanation:

the vertex is midway between the focus ad the directrix

so, the vertex is (0,0)

let p=(x,y) be a point on the parabola.

the distance of p from the directrix is equal to the distance from the focus.

x+3=√(x−3)2+(y−0)2

(x+3)2=(x−3)2+y2

x2+6x+9=x2−6x+9+y2

y2=12x

graph{y^2=12x [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
