All squares are equal sides.Let X be the side of a square.
Area of square,A = x^2
Here a tile is a square of side length 'x'. The following polynomial represents,
(x - 4) represents "the width of the new tile" (because 4 inches cut from the tile)
4x represents "the area removed from the tile" (since one side of removed tile is 'x' and other is 4 inches.)
x2 represents "area of original tile" of side equal to 'x'
x represents "the length of the new tile" (since length of new tile is not reduced. Length =x and breadth is x-4
The rhombus always has perpendicular diagonals.
For problems like this, change the wording into simple algebraic
formulas. We know that the area of a rectangle is its width times its
length, or A=LW. The problem tells you that the area is 48, so LW=48.
Also, if the length = twice the width minus 4, then L=2W-4.
From here, substitute your new L value for the L in the first equation:
48=LW --> 48=(2W-4)W
Now solve this equation by factoring it out into a polynomial:
48=2W^2-4W --> 24=W^2-2W --> W^2-2W-24=0 --> (W+4)(W-6)=0.
Solving this equation gives us W values of 6 and -4, but since the width
of a rectangle cannot be negative, the width must be 6.
Since L=2W-4, then L=2(6)-4 --> L=12-4 = 8. Therefore, the dimensions are 6X8, or 6 feet by 8 feet.
To check our work: The length equals four feet less than twice the width: 8=2(6)-4 --> 8=12-4 --> 8=8. This checks out.
Also, the area is 48 ft^2, and (6)(8) = 48, so this also checks out.
Hopefully this helps. If you need any more help or if I went over something too quickly, just let me know.
Answer:
(x + 4)(2x - 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
f(x) = 2x² + 5x - 12
Consider the factors of the product of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.
product = 2 × -12 = - 24 and sum = + 5
The factors are + 8 and - 3
Use these factors to split the x- term
2x² + 8x - 3x - 12 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
2x(x + 4) - 3(x + 4) ← factor out (x + 4) from each term
(x + 4)(2x - 3)
Thus
f(x) = 2x² + 5x - 12 = (x + 4)(2x - 3) ← in factored form
