Answer: (-1,-8)

Explanation:

x^2 + 9x + 8 = 0
x^2 + 9x = -8

Add (9/2)^2 to both sides

x^2 + 9x + (9/2)^2 = -8 + (9/2)^2
(x + 9/2)^2 = -8 + 81/4
(x + 9/2)^2 = -32/4 + 81/4
(x + 9/2)^2 = 49/4

Square root both sides

Sqrt (x + 9/2)^2 = sqrt 49/4
x + 9/2 = plus or minus 7/2

Set x + 9/2 = 7/2:

x + 9/2 = 7/2
x = 7/2 - 9/2
x = -2/2 = -1

Set x + 9/2 = -7/2:
x + 9/2 = -7/2
x = -7/2 - 9/2
x = -16/2 = -8

What is the area of this rectangle? Provide supportive evidence so I can learn better about this. I’m having troubles.
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

the answer is 15x^8 y^3

Step-by-step explanation:

the area of a rectangle is length times width right? this means you have to multiply the values that represent the length and width. in this case those values would be 5x^6 y^2 and 3x^2 y

step 1. set up your problem

it should look like this:

(5x^6 y^2)(3x^2 y)

step 2. multiply the values with corresponding variables

first, x values

(5x^6)(3x^2)

5×3=15 and x^6 × x^2=x^8 when multiplying exponents you add the powers the numbers are raised to. in this case 6+2=8

you should end up with 15x^8

next, y values

y^2 + y

remember what i said about multiplying exponents? you just add the power the variables are raised to. in this case, 2 and 1. when their is no exponent we just add a 1. so, 2+1=3

you end up with y^3

lastly, combine

15x^8 + y^3 = 15x^8y^3
