This is an odd problem. The length and width look like they should be interchanged. Anyway I'll solve it and we'll talk about the results.
(x +7) (x + 3) = 396
x^2 + 7x + 3x + 21 = 396
x^2 + 10x + 21 = 396 Subtract 21 from both sides.
x^2 + 10x = 396 - 21
x^2 + 10x = 375
x^2 + 10x - 375 = 0 This probably factors.
(x + 25)(x - 15)
x + 25 = 0
x = - 25 which makes no sense. Negatives do not describe room dimensions.
x - 15= 0
x = 15. this is fine.

x+3 = 15 + 3 = 18
x + 7 = 15 + 7= 22

Check
=====
Area = L * W = 18 * 22 = 496. It does check.
22 should be the length

18 should be the width.

Which best describes the end behavior of y = 7x^2
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an even function (because it has an exponent that is an even number), and even functions have the end behavior of both tails going in the same direction. Because this is a positive even function, both of the tails are going up.
