The given function represents the perimeter, in , of a rectangle with a length of and a fixed width. What is the width, in , of the rectangle?
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Choice B is correct. It's given that represents the perimeter, in , of a rectangle with a length of and a fixed width. If represents a fixed width, in , then the perimeter, in , of a rectangle with a length of and a fixed width of can be given by the function . Therefore, . Subtracting from both sides of this equation yields . Dividing both sides of this equation by yields . Therefore, the width, in , of the rectangle is .
