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

(scientific notation)

= 4.32e4

(scientific e notation)

= 43.2 × 10^3

(engineering notation)

(thousand; prefix kilo- (k))

In scientific notation, a large number is converted to an equivalent decimal number between 1 and 10, multiplied by 10 raised to some power. Very small numbers are converted to an equivalent decimal number between 1 and 10, multiplied by 10 raised to some negative power.

Anit [1.1K]
Do 13,500 times .012. Take that answer and multiply it by 10. From that answer, subtract it from 13,500. That would be your final answer.

How do I put the slope and y-intercept on the graph
mestny [16]
So as you can see, -3 is the y-intercept. You would make a point on (-3,0) first. Then from the point, you would go up 1 and go right 2 because the slope is a positive 1/2 slope.

State the value of the discriminant of -6x^2 +2x + 3 = 0
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

76

Step-by-step explanation:

recall that for a quadratic equation in the form

ax² + bx + c = 0, the discriminant is given by

discriminant, D = b²- 4ac

we are given the following:

-6x² + 2x + 3 = 0,

comparing this with the general equation above, it is clear that,

a = -6, b = 2 and c = 3,

substituting these into our equation for discriminant:

D = b²- 4ac

= 2² - 4(-6)(3)

= 4 + 72

= 76
