Hmm
well, um
if -4 is a zero then if we subsitute -4 for x, we should get 0
so
0=(-4)²-(-4)-(2k+2)
0=16+4-2k-2
0=18-2k
2k=18
divide by 2
k=9
k=9
the value k is 9
It 20 because it is and you multiply
x = perimeter
x<156
length = 66
so, in order to calculate perimeter you need to add two lengths and two widths
so
156 (perimeter) - 2 (66) = two widths
156 - 132 = 24 (remember this number is two widths added together)
so 24 twice the width SO 12 would be the number that the width can't be larger than
the width has to be less than 12
w < 12
Plug in 0 for x and you get 5. Which is your answer :)
