The dimensions the rug should have is 20 by 29

<h3>How to determine the dimension?</h3>

The dimension of the rug is given as:

22 ft by 31 ft

The area of the carpet is given as:

Area = 580

Represent the length of the empty space with x.

So, the dimension of the carpet is:

22 - 2x by 31 - 2x

The area is calculated as:

Area = (22 - 2x) * (31 - 2x)

Expand

Area = 682 - 62x - 44x + 4x^2

Evaluate the difference

Area = 682 -106x + 4x^2

Substitute Area = 580

682 -106x + 4x^2 = 580

Subtract 580 from both sides

102 -106x + 4x^2 = 0


Rewrite as:

4x^2 - 106x +102 = 0

Using a graphing calculator, we have:

x = 1 and x = 22.5

Substitute these values in 22 - 2x by 31 - 2x

So, we have:

Length = 22 - 2(1) = 20 or Length = 22 - 2(22.5) = -23

Width = 31 - 2(1) = 29 or Length = 31 - 2(22.5) = -14

The dimensions cannot be negative.

So, we have:

Length = 20 and Width = 29

Hence, the dimensions the rug should have is 20 by 29

What is the answer and how do you solve <br><br><br> 21x^3/3x^−1
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

  as written: 7x^2

  perhaps intended: 7x^4

Step-by-step explanation:

As written, the Order of Operations specifies that the only denominator factor is 3, so the expression is interpreted as ...

  \dfrac{21x^3}{3}x^{-1}=\dfrac{21}{3}x^{3-1}=7x^2

___

Sometimes grouping of denominator factors is intended, but parentheses are not written as they should be. If the intention is ...

  21x^3/(3x^-1)

then the simplification is ...

  \dfrac{21x^3}{3x^{-1}}=\dfrac{21}{3}x^{3-(-1)}=7x^4

_____

The applicable rules of exponents are ...

  (a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)

  a^b/a^c = a^(b-c)
