Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
3x^2 + 17x +10 =0
(3x+ ) ( x+ ) =0
We need to factor 10 = 2*5 or 1*10
They are positive since we have all positive terms
3*5 = 15+2 = 17
The 5 needs to multiply the 3 so it goes on the outside
(3x+ ) ( x+ 5 ) =0
That leaves the 2 on the inside
(3x+ 2 ) ( x+ 5 ) =0
Using the zero product property
3x+2 =0 x+5=0
3x = -2 x=-5
x = -2/3 x = -5
Since 3 squared is 9 and 4 squared is 16, the square root of 13 will fall somewhere between 3 and 4
Present area = 120 * 80 = 9600 ft^2 so the new area will be 9600 + 4400 = 14000
So if increase in length = x we have
(x + 120)(x + 80) = 14,000
x^2 + 200x + 9600 - 14000 = 0
x^2 + 200x - 4400 = 0
x = 20 feet answer
180-90=3x
90=3x
X=30
90+x+y=180
90+30+y=180
120+y=180
Y=60
