Answer:

Length L = 17 ft.

Width W = 4 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle = L * W

Area = 68 ft²

W = 2L - 30

Area = L * W

68 = L * (2L - 30)

68 = 2L² - 30L

2L² - 30L -68 = 0 ( solve L by using quadratic equation)

-(-30) ± √ -30² - 4 * 2 * (-68)

L = -------------------------------------------

2 * 2

L = 17 ; L= - 2 therefore use L = 17 ft.

<u>solve for W:</u>

W = 2L - 30

W = 2(17) - 30

W = 34 - 30

W = 4 ft

check:

Area = L * W

68 = 17 * 4

68 = 68 ----- OK

Answer:

Length=17

Width=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Length=x

Width=2x-30

x(2x-30)=68

2x²-30x=68

2x²-30x-68=0

2(x²-15x-34)=0

2(x+2)(x-17)=0

So x equals either 17 or -2. Since it can’t be -2, x=17

Length=x=17

Width=2x-30=2*17-30=34-30=4

Answer:

$f\left(x\right)=x^3-6x^2+3x+10$ is the function of the least degree has the real coefficients and the leading coefficients of 1 and with the zeros -1, 5, and 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function

$f\left(x\right)=x^3-6x^2+3x+10$

As the highest power of the x-variable is 3 with the leading coefficients of 1.

So, it is clear that the polynomial function of the least degree has the real coefficients and the leading coefficients of 1.

solving to get the zeros

$f\left(x\right)=x^3-6x^2+3x+10$

$0=x^3-6x^2+3x+10$ ∵ $f(x)=0$

$Factor\:x^3-6x^2+3x+10\::\:\left(x+1\right)\left(x-2\right)\left(x-5\right)=0$

$\left(x+1\right)\left(x-2\right)\left(x-5\right)=0$

Using the zero factor principle

if $ab=0\:\mathrm{then}\:a=0\:\mathrm{or}\:b=0\:\left(\mathrm{or\:both}\:a=0\:\mathrm{and}\:b=0\right)$

$x+1=0\quad \mathrm{or}\quad \:x-2=0\quad \mathrm{or}\quad \:x-5=0$

$x=-1,\:x=2,\:x=5$

Therefore, the zeros of the function are:

$x=-1,\:x=2,\:x=5$

$f\left(x\right)=x^3-6x^2+3x+10$ is the function of the least degree has the real coefficients and the leading coefficients of 1 and with the zeros -1, 5, and 2.

Therefore, the last option is true.
