Let the width be w, then length = 2w - 1

Area = length times width = w(2w - 1) = 21.

Thus, 2w^2 - w = 21 or 2w^2 - w - 21 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation gives that w = 3.5.

Therefore, width is 3.5 ft and length is 2(3.5) - 1 = 6 ft.

What is the system of inequalities associated with the following graph?
slamgirl [31]

One line passes through the points (-2,3) and (0,-3) , it means the y intercept is b=-3

and slope m = \frac{(-3-3)}{0-(-2)}

= \frac{-6}{2}= -3

So the equation of line will be y= -3x -3

And the inequality should be y\geq -3x-3

Or 3x +y \geq -3

And the other line passes through (-2,3) and (0,2)

So the y intercept is b=2

and the slope is m= \frac{2-3}{0-(-2)} = \frac{-1}{2}

So the equation of line will be y= \frac{-1}{2} x +2\\and the inequality should be  y \leq \frac{-1}{2} x+2

Or

2y +x \leq 4

So answer is 3x +y \geq -3,  x+2y\leq 4

What quadratic formula do I need to use to solve 3x(x+6)=-1
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

\Large  \boxed{x_1=\frac{9+\sqrt{51} }{3}  \ \  ;  \ \ x_2=\frac{9-\sqrt{51} }{3} }

Step-by-step explanation:

\displaystyle \Large \boldsymbol{} 3x(x+6)=-10  \\\\3x^2+18x=-10 \\\\3x^2+18x+10=0 \\\\D=324-120=204 \\\\ x_{1;2}=\frac{18\pm2\sqrt{51} }{6} =\frac{9\pm\sqrt{51} }{3}
