Area of rectangle = length × width
300 = (x+10) × x
300 = 10x + x^2
Now we have the equation y=x^2 + 10x - 300
We can factor this equation to get our zeroes, which are:
-5(1+sqrt(13)),
5(sqrt(13)-1)

We only use the positive zero because we can't have a negative dimension.

Your width would be:
5(sqrt(13)-1)

Your length would be:
5(sqrt(13)-1) + 10

(K3+2k2-82k-28)/(k+10)
Ne4ueva [31]

So for this, we will be using synthetic division. To set it up, have the equation so that the divisor is -10 (since that is the solution of k + 10 = 0) and the dividend are the coefficients. Our equation will look as such:

<em>(Note that synthetic division can only be used when the divisor is a 1st degree binomial)</em>

  • -10 | 1 + 2 - 82 - 28
  • ---------------------------

Now firstly, drop the 1:

  • -10 | 1 + 2 - 82 - 28
  •       ↓
  • -------------------------
  •        1

Next, you are going to multiply -10 and 1, and then combine the product with 2.

  • -10 | 1 + 2 - 82 - 28
  •       ↓ - 10
  • -------------------------
  •        1 - 8

Next, multiply -10 and -8, then combine the product with -82:

  • -10 | 1 + 2 - 82 - 28
  •       ↓ -10 + 80
  • -------------------------
  •        1 - 8 - 2

Next, multiply -10 and -2, then combine the product with -28:

  • -10 | 1 + 2 - 82 - 28
  •       ↓ -10 + 80 + 20
  • -------------------------
  •        1 - 8 - 2 - 8

Now, since we know that the degree of the dividend is 3, this means that the degree of the quotient is 2. Using this, the first 3 terms are k^2, k, and the constant, or in this case k² - 8k - 2. Now what about the last coefficient -8? Well this is our remainder, and will be written as -8/(k + 10).

<u>Putting it together, the quotient is k^2-8k-2-\frac{8}{k+10}</u>

Let f(x)=4x+9. Write a function g whose graph is a reflection in the y-axis of the graph of f. g(x)= ?
frez [133]

Answer:

g(x)=-4x+9

Step-by-step explanation:

So we know that:

f(x)=4x+9

To reflect across the <em>y-axis</em>, instead of x, use -x. Therefore:

g(x)=f(-x)=4(-x)+9

Simplify:

g(x)=-4x+9

And that's our answer :)
