Area = width * height
since the window is 20 inches higher than the width:
width +20 = height

640 = width * width+20
640 = width^2 +20*width
width^2 +20*width - 640 = 0
width = 17.203
**********************************************************
Double Check
if width = 17.203 then height = 37.203
area = 17.203 * 37.203 = 640 square inches Correct!!

I don't know what I'm doing wrong here, can anyone help?

if you look at the part where the first part connects with the second part:

y = 5 if x < - 2

y = -2x + 1 if -2 ≤ x < 1

we don't have a discontinuity there, so there shouldn't be a dot.

<h3></h3><h3>What is wrong with the graph?</h3>

When we graph over intervals like (a, b) or [a, b] or something like that, we use dots to define the end of the intervals, and to denote that the function ends abruptly or we have a jump.

In this case, you can see that between the end and the second part and the beginning of the third part there is a jump, so the use of dots is correct there, but if you look at the part where the first part connects with the second part:

y = 5 if x < - 2

y = -2x + 1 if -2 ≤ x < 1

we don't have a discontinuity there, so there shouldn't be a dot.

That is the only error with the graph.
