Answer:
The area of the house is A. 1,108
It is positive.
Hope this helped.
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
the perimeter (P) is the sum of the 4 sides
(a)
P = a + b + c + d
= x + 7 + 2x + 2 + 8x + x + 10 ← collect like terms
= 12x + 19
(b)
If x = 4 , then
P = 12x + 19 = 12(4) + 19 = 48 + 19 = 67
(c)
If x = 2 , then
P = 12x + 19 = 12(2) + 19 = 24 + 19 = 43
(d)
P = a + b + c + d
= x² + 4x + 8 + 2x² + x ← collect like terms
= 3x² + 5x + 8
A generic point on the graph of the curve has coordinates

The derivative gives us the slope of the tangent line at a given point:

Let k be a generic x-coordinate. The tangent line to the curve at this point will pass through
and have slope 
So, we can write its equation using the point-slope formula: a line with slope m passing through
has equation

In this case,
and
, so the equation becomes

We can rewrite the equation as follows:

We know that this function must give 0 when evaluated at x=0:

This equation has no real solution, so the problem looks impossible.
