A photo is printed on an 11-inch by 13-inch piece of paper. The photo covers 80 square inches and has a uniform border. What is
the width of the border?
2 answers:
Let
w--------> <span>width of the border
we know that
(11-2w)*(13-2w)=80--------> 11*13-22w-26w+4w</span>²=80
143-48w+4w²-80=0
4w²-48w +63=0
using a graph tool------> to resolve the second order equation
see the attached figure
the solution are
w1=1.5
w2-10.5--------> is not solution
the answer is
the width of the border is w=1.5 in
w--------> <span>width of the border
we know that
(11-2w)*(13-2w)=80--------> 11*13-22w-26w+4w</span>²=80
143-48w+4w²-80=0
4w²-48w +63=0
using a graph tool------> to resolve the second order equation

the solution are
w1=1.5
w2-10.5--------> is not solution
the answer is
the width of the border is w=1.5 in

Substitute this into the parabolic equation,
We're told the line intersects
twice, which means the quadratic above has two distinct real solutions. Its discriminant must then be positive, so we know
We can tell from the quadratic equation that has its vertex at the point (3, 6). Also, note that
and
so the furthest to the right that extends is the point (5, 2). The line
passes through this point for
. For any value of
, the line
passes through
either only once, or not at all.
So ; in set notation,
