Width of the rectangle is 1 unit

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Let the length of the rectangle be x. Then the width = x - 5. Find dimensions of the rectangle if its area = 6 sq. units

Area of the rectangle = length × width

6 = x (x - 5)

6 = x² - 5x

x² - 5x - 6 = 0

x² - 6x + x - 6 = 0 (Using Product Sum rule to factorize)

x(x - 6) + 1(x - 6) = 0

(x - 6)(x + 1) = 0

x = -1, 6 (negative value is neglected)

x = 6 units

x - 5 = 1 unit

7. Which property of polynomials says that the sum of two polynomials is also a polynomial?
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

Closure property

Step-by-step explanation:

The closure property of polynomials for addition says that, if we add any two polynomials , the result is also a polynomial.

For is

{x}^{2}  + 2

is a polynomial.

x - 2

is also a polynomial.

The sum of the two polynomials is

{x}^{2}  + 2  + x - 2 =  {x}^{2} + x

The result:

{x}^{2}  + x

is also a polynomial.
