Answer:

width: (x+4) ft, length: (x+5) ft

Step-by-step explanation:

If the area was x2 + 9x + 20, and the length was (x+5), we find the width dividing the first polynomial by the second (or find what polynomial, multiplied by the second, will give us the first). We can see that the last value of the first polynomial is 20, and the last of the second is 5, so dividing these two values will give us the last value of the width polynomial, so we have that the width before construction is (x+4) ft.

Answer:

The dimension of the rectangular closet before construction = (x + 5) ft by (x + 4) ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The homeowner has a rectangular closet and the area of the closet is (x² + 9x + 20) ft². The area of a rectangle is the length multiplied by the width. The length is given as (x + 5) ft. After construction the area change to (x² + 14x + 48) ft². The length became (x + 6) ft.

The dimensions before construction can be calculated as follows:

Mathematically,

area of rectangle = Length × width

area = (x² + 9x + 20) ft².

Length = (x + 5) ft

Width = unknown

area = LW

(x² + 9x + 20) = (x + 5) W

W = (x² + 9x + 20) / x + 5

W = (x + 4) ft

The dimension of the rectangular closet before construction = (x + 5) ft by (x + 4) ft

State whether the sentence is true or false. If false, replace the underlined term to make a true sentence.

False , Combining a coin toss and a roll of a die makes a simple event.

In statistics, what does a probability mean?

The probability serves as a gauge for how likely an event is to occur. It gauges how likely an event is.
P(E) = Number of Favorable Outcomes/Number of Total Outcomes is the formula for probability.
Mathematics' study of random events is known as probability, and there are four primary types of probability: axiomatic, classical, empirical, and subjective.
Since probability is the same as possibility, you could say that it is the likelihood that a specific event will occur.

False , Combining a coin toss and a roll of a die makes a simple event.

A true statement is "For data at the interval level, you CAN calculate meaningful differences between data entries."

Please help me. Factor. 5x^+23x+26

 5x2-23x=-26 Two solutions were found : x = 2 x = 13/5 = 2.600

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

5*x^2-23*x-(-26)=0

Step by step solution :Skip Ad
 Step 1 :Equation at the end of step 1 : (5x2 - 23x) - -26 = 0 Step 2 :Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

2.1 Factoring 5x2-23x+26

The first term is, 5x2 its coefficient is 5 .
The middle term is, -23x its coefficient is -23 .
The last term, "the constant", is +26 

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 5 • 26 = 130

Step-2 : Find two factors of 130 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -23 .

-130 + -1 = -131 
 -65 + -2 = -67 
 -26 + -5 = -31 
 -13 + -10 = -23 That's it
