Hello,

Let 's
2n-1 the width
2n+1 the length
Increasing by 5 feet , the length become 2n+6
The new area is (2n+6)(2n-1)=60
==>4n²+12n-2n-6=60
==>4n²+10n-66=0
Δ=10²+4*4*66=1156=34²
n=(-10+34)/8= 24/8=3 and an other value (-10-34)/8 negative excluded.

n=3 =>2n+1=7 and 2n-1=5
The first area was 7*5=35 (ft²)

Two drugs were tested to see whether they helped women with breast cancer. Of 1060​ women, about half were randomly assigned to
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

(a) The survival rate for drug A is 87,75%.

(b) The survival rate for drug B is 81,76%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the survival rate of each drug you have to divide the number of women alive between the total number of women that use the drug.  

For drug A= women alive that use drug A/ total number of women that use the drug A= 473/539

For drug A=0,8775= 87,75%

For drug B= women alive that use drug B/ total number of women that use the drug B

For drug B== 426/521= 0,8176 = 81,76%

Use the factor theorem to determine whether the binomial x + 1 is a factor of the polynomial function ƒ(x) = 2x3 – 9x2 + 13x – 6
Andrews [41]
No, it is not. 
If x+1 is a factor, x=-1 would be one of the zeros. 
Plug x=-1 in the polynomial to see it is results in a 0:
2(-1)^3-9(-1)^2+13(-1)-6=-30≠0, therefore, x+1 is not a factor.
