7.5" if the width is now 18 that means its value increased by 3 so multiply 2.5 by 3 and its = to 7.5

Since the width went from 6 to 18, we can conclude that it increased by a factor of 3, 18/6=3. We can now factor in 3 to 2.5 and we see that 3×2.5=7.5. The new height is 7.5".

A rectangle Has an area of 252 yd.². The length of the rectangle is 10 yards longer than twice it’s worth. Find the width and le

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

Width = 9 yds

Length = 28 yds

Step-by-step explanation:

Width = x

Length = 2x + 10

Area is 252 yd²

x(2x + 10) = 252

2x² + 10x - 252 = 0

2 (x + 14) (x - 9) = 0

(x + 14) (x - 9) = 0

x = - 14 or x = 9

Width = 9 yds

Length = 2x9 + 10 = 28 yds

Zeros: x=1 (multiplicity 2) and x=-4

BARSIC [14]

Starting with x=1, subtract 1 from each side,
(x-1)=0

Our polynomial will have multiplicity of 2 for this particular zero,
(x-1)(x-1)

and do similar with the x=-4, add 4 to each side,
(x+4)=0

So our final result is: (x-1)(x-1)(x+4)

Expand out the brackets if you need this in standard form.
