The sign of f on the interval -7/3 < x < -3/5 is always positive.

<h3>How to solve for the sign on the interval</h3>

We have the equation

(5x+3)(x−2)(3x+7)(x+5) > 0

Now when f(x) > 0

Then -7/3 < x < -3/5

This would tell us that the sign would become positive when it changes from the less than to greater than sign

<h3>Complete Question</h3>

A rectangular plot of land is to be enclosed by a fence. One side is along a river, and does not need to be enclosed. If the tot

Bad White [126]

Answer:

Width 150 meters.

Length = 350 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the width of the fence = k meters

So, both sides = k + k = 2k meters

Also, the TOTAL fencing length = 600 m

So, the one side length of the fence = (600 - 2 k) meters

AREA = LENGTH x WIDTH

⇒ A(k) = (600 - 2k) (k)

or, A = -2k² + 600 k

The above equation is of the form: ax² +bx + C

Here: a = - 2 , b = 600 and C = 0

As a< 0, the parabola opens DOWNWARDS.

Here, x value is given as: $x = \frac{-b}{2a}$

Solving for the value of k similarly, we get:

$k = \frac{-b}{2a} = \frac{600}{2(-2)} = 150$

Thus the desired width = k = 150 meters

So, the desired dimensions of the plot is width 150 meters.

And length = 650 - 2k = 650 - 300 = 350 meters.

Answer:

x = 1 , 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

- The given equation is as follows:

y = x^2 - 8x + 7

- We can solve the above equation by either making factors or by using Quadratic formula.

Factor Approach:

- Using the constant "7" at the end of the quadratic equation we will determine two integer multiples such that their additions/subtraction results in "-8".

- So the only factor of "7" are:

7 x 1 = 7

-7 x -1 = 7

- We see that addition/subtraction of first (7 , 1 ) does not results in "-8", However, the sum of ( -1 , -7 ) = -1 - 7 = -8. So the correct factors are ( -1 , -7 ). So we replace "-8x" with our factors "-1x" and "-7x":

x^2 -x -7x + 7 = 0

- Take common multiples out of pair of two terms:

x*(x-1) -7*(x-1) = 0

(x-7)*(x-1) = 0

- So we equate each term in bracket with "0" and evaluate the values of x:

(x-7) = 0 , x = 7

(x-1) = 0 , x = 1

- So the solution to the quadratic equation is:

x = 1 , 7
