A rectangle has a shorter side with a length of x and a longer side with a length of x + 8, the perimeter of the rectangle is 80cm. Calculate the value of x.

For this question, one would sum the algebraic lengths of the rectangle, creating a result of 4x + 16.

This is the algebraic perimeter of the rectangle which must be equated to the numerical value ...

Find the area between the curves y = x^2 and y = 4x - x^2.

First, we need to draw a diagram, to understand the question more clearly. 
y = x^2 is a common curve, but to sketch y = 4x - x^2, we should factorise it, to find where it inersects...
