area = L x W

W=L-7

120 = L x L-7

120 = L^2-7L

L^2-7L+120 =0

(L-15) (L+8)

L=15, L=-8. It can't be a negative number so L=15

W=15-7 = 8

15*8 =120

 length = 15 inches

width = 8 inches

Answer:

The dimensions of the rectangle. <em><u>Length= 15 inches and Width= 8 inches</u></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let width of rectangle be W and length be L then

L=W+7 ---- (A)

Also given that area of rectangle = 120 square inches

=> WxL=120   -----(B)

From equation (A) and (B)

Wx(W+7) = 120

=> W^{2}+7W-120=0

=>W^{2}+15W-8W-120=0 =>(W+15)(W-8)=0

=> W=-15 or 8

Since the width can not be a negative quantity , so W= 8 inches

=> L= W+7= (8+7) inches =  15 inches

Thus the dimensions of the rectangle. <em><u>Length= 15 inches and Width= 8 inches</u></em>

Write a polynomial function of minimum degree with real coefficients whose zeros include those listed. Write the polynomial in s
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

f(x)=x^4-9x^2-50x-150

Step-by-step explanation:

Let f(x) be the polynomial function of minimum degree with real coefficients whose zeros are 5, -3, and -1 + 3i be f(x).

By the complex conjugate property of polynomials, -1-3i is also a root of this polynomial.

Therefore the polynomial in factored form is f(x)=(x-5)(x+3)(x-(-1+3i))(x-(-1+3i))

We expand to get:f(x)=(x^2-2x-15)(x^2+2x+10)

We expand further to get:\

f(x)=x^4-9x^2-50x-150
