Answer:

  • Length of rectangle is 31 yards and Width is 24 yards.

Given:

  • The length of a rectangle is 7 more than the width.
  • The area is 744 sqaure yards

Solution:

Let's assume Width of rectangle be x and Length of rectangle be x + 7 respectively.

Using formula

\\  \:  \:  \:  \:  \pink{ \dashrightarrow \:  \:  \:  \:  \sf { \underbrace{Area_{(Rectangle)} =  Length × Width  }}} \\  \\

On Substituting the required values, we get;

\\ \: \: \: \:  \dashrightarrow \: \: \: \: \sf (x)(x + 7) = 744 \\ \\ \\ \: \: \: \:  \dashrightarrow \: \: \: \: \sf  {x}^{2}  + 7x = 744 \\ \\ \\ \: \: \: \:  \dashrightarrow \: \: \: \: \sf  {x}^{2}  + 7x - 744 = 0 \\ \\ \\  \: \: \: \:  \dashrightarrow \: \: \: \: \sf  {x}^{2}  + 31x - 24x - 744 = 0 \\ \\ \\ \: \: \: \:  \dashrightarrow \: \: \: \: \sf x(x + 31) - 24 (x + 31) = 0 \\ \\ \\ \: \: \: \:  \dashrightarrow \: \: \: \: \sf (x + 31)(x - 24) = 0 \\ \\ \\ \: \: \: \:  \dashrightarrow \: \: \: \: \sf x = 24 \:  or \:   - 31 \\ \\

As we know that width of the rectangle can't be negative. So x = 24

<u>Hence</u>,

  • Width of rectangle = x = 24 yards
  • Length of the rectangle = x + 7 = 31 yards

\thereforeLength of rectangle is 31 yards<u> </u>and Width is 24 yards.

I'm confused about how to find x.
NikAS [45]
Hi! so you would find x by adding the corners up to 180 degrees.

steps:
Add the corners
90+(2x+1)+(5x+5)
7x+96=180
then subtract 96 from 180
you’d get 7x = 84
then divide 7 on both sides and get x=12

Select the correct answer.
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

A. 5x^2 - 2x - 12 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The base is x feet.

The height is 2 less that 5 times the base.

The height is 5x - 2.

The area is 12.

The area is base * height / 2.

area = bh/2

area = x * (5x - 2) = 12

5x^2 - 2x = 12

5x^2 - 2x - 12 = 0

Find a cubic function f(x) = ax3 + bx2 + cx + d that has a local maximum value of 4 at x = −3 and a local minimum value of 0 at
Vinvika [58]
The formula is f(x) = a x ^ 3 + b x ^ 2 + c x  + d 
f '(x) = 3ax^2 + 2bx + c. 
f(- 3) = 3 ==> - 27a + 9b - 3c + d = 3 
f '(- 3) = 0 (being a most extreme) ==> 27a - 6b + c = 0. 
f(1) = 0 ==> a + b + c + d = 0 
f '(1) = 0 (being a base) ==> 3a + 2b + c = 0. 
- 
Along these lines, we have the four conditions 
- 27a + 9b - 3c + d = 3 
a + b + c + d = 0 
27a - 6b + c = 0 
3a + 2b + c = 0 
Subtracting the last two conditions yields 24a - 8b = 0 ==> b = 3a. 
Along these lines, the last condition yields 3a + 6a + c = 0 ==> c = - 9a. 
Consequently, we have from the initial two conditions: 
- 27a + 9(3a) - 3(- 9a) + d = 3 ==> 27a + d = 3 
a + 3a - 9a + d = 0 ==> d = 5a. 
Along these lines, a = 3/32 and d = 15/32. 
==> b = 9/32 and c = - 27/32. 
That is, f(x) = (1/32)(3x^3 + 9x^2 - 27x + 15).
