Answer:
-2a^4+8a^3-6a^2
Step-by-step explanation:
2a^2(a-1)(3-a)
2a^2(-a^2 +3a-3+a)
2a^2(-a^2+4a-3)
-2a^4+8a^3-6a^2
To effectively determine the correct answer, it would be helpful to write this into an algebraic expression. We let x as the number. We do as follows:
<span>Four times the square of a certain number increased by 6 times the number equals 108.
4x^2 + 6x = 108
The numbers can be either of the following since the equation generated was a quadratic equation which has two roots.
x = 4.5
x = -6 </span>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter is
P = 2L + 2W. We are given the perimeter as 180 feet, so
180 = 2L + 2W. Solve this for either L or W. I chose W, no reason...
180 - 2L = 2W so
90 - L = W Hold that thought. We'll come back to it in a minute.
Area is
A = LW. We are given the area as 1800 square feet, so
1800 = LW. Sub in 90 - L for W:
1800 = L(90 - L). Distribute to get a quadratic:

Get everything on one side and solve for the length by factoring:

Factor this however you like to factor quadratics, to get the length of
L = 30 and L = 60. First off, the length is longer than the width in general, so if we want to solve for the width, plug in 60 as L in the equation in bold print:
90 - 60 = W and
30 = W
So L = 60 and W = 30
