R2-4r-77 = (r-11)(r+7)
r has to be greater than 11 in order for the formula to represent the area of a rug since a side length cannot be less than or equal to 0.

Answer:

r>\frac{4 +\sqrt{23732} }{154}  \approx1.03\\

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the rectangular rug is given by this equation:

77r^2-4r-77

The area must be a number greater than 0 since a negative area, or an area equal to 0 wouldn't have much sense. So:

77r^2-4r-77>0

Let's find the roots of this equation using the quadratic formula:

r=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a} =\frac{-(-4)\pm\sqrt{(-4)^2-(4)(77)(-77)} }{2(77)} \\\\r=\frac{4 \pm \sqrt{23732} }{154} \\\\r_1=\frac{4 +\sqrt{23732} }{154} \approx1.03\\\\r_2=\frac{4 - \sqrt{23732} }{154} \approx-0.97

Now, let's evaluate the area for r>r_1 for example r=1.05:

A=77(1.05)^2-4(1.05)-77=3.6925>0

The result is greater than zero, so for r>r_1 the values make sense.

Now let's evaluate the area for r_2 for example r=0.5 and r=-0.7:

A=77(0.5)^2-4(0.5)-77=-59.75

The result is less than zero, so for r_2 the values don't make sense.

Now, let's evaluate the area for r for example r=-1:

A=77(-1)^2-4(-1)-77=4>0

The result is greater than zero, so for r the values make sense

However, since negative values of r wouldn't make much sense (I never heard about of -8 inches for example) the possible dimensions of the​ rug are just:

r>\frac{4 +\sqrt{23732} }{154}  \approx1.03\\

X+2y=8 x-2y=-4 solve by system of equations
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 2y = 8 -----------(I)

x - 2y  = -4 -----------(II)

Add equation (I) & (II) and thus y will be eliminated and we can get the value of 'x'

(I)           x + 2y = 8

(II)          <u>x - 2y  = -4</u><u>      </u>{Now add}

           2x         = 4

                   x   = 4/2

x = 2

Substitute x =  2 in equation (I)

2 + 2y = 8

    2y = 8 - 2

    2y = 6

      y = 6/2

y = 3
