The area A, in square meters, of a rectangle with a perimeter of 60 meters is given by the equation A = 30w − w2, where w is the

width of the rectangle in meters. What is the width of a rectangle if its area is 200 m2? m

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The area is given in two ways:  1) as a formula:  A = 30w - w^2, and 2) as a specific numerical value:  A = 200 m^2.

Equating these, we get:

A = 200 m^2 = A = 30w - w^2

Rewriting this equation in the standard form of a quadratic function:

-30w + w^2 + 200 m^2 = 0

or  w^2 - 30w + 200 = 0, which in factored form is (w - 10)(w - 20) = 0.

Then w = 10 and w = 20.

The perimeter of the rectangle is P = 60 m, and this equals 2w + 2l.  Therefore, 30 m = w + l, or l = 30 - w.  

We have already found that w could be either 10 or 20.

If w = 10, then l = 30 - 10 = 20, and the perimeter would thus be:

P = 2(10) + 2(20) = 20 + 40 = 60.

This satisfies the constraints on w.

The width of the rectangle is 10 meters.  The length is 20 meters.

Solve the equation by graphing. If exact roots cannot be found, state the consecutive integers between which the roots are locat
eimsori [14]

Answer:

There are NO real roots for this equation. The only roots have imaginary parts and therefore cannot be represented on the real x-axis.

Step-by-step explanation:

We notice that the expression on the left of the equation is a quadratic with leading term 2x^2, which means that its graph is that of a parabola with branches going up.

Therefore, there can be three different situations:

1) if its vertex is ON the x axis, there would be one unique real solution (root) to the equation.

2) if its vertex is below the x-axis, the parabola's branches are forced to cross it at two locations, giving then two real solutions (roots) to the equation.

3) if its vertex is above the x-axis, it will have NO real solutions (roots) but only non-real ones.

So we proceed to examine the vertex's location, which is also a great way to decide on which set of points to use in order to plot its graph efficiently.

We recall that the x-position of the vertex for a quadratic function of the form  f(x)=ax^2+bx+c is given by the expression:

x_v=\frac{-b}{2a}

Since in our case a=2 and b=-3, we get that the x-position of the vertex is:

x_v=\frac{-b}{2a}\\x_v=\frac{-(-3)}{2(2)}\\x_v=\frac{3}{4}

Now we can find the y-value of the vertex by evaluating this quadratic expression for x = 3/4:

y_v=f(\frac{3}{4})=2( \frac{3}{4})^2-3(\frac{3}{4})+4\\f(\frac{3}{4})=2( \frac{9}{16})-\frac{9}{4}+4\\f(\frac{3}{4})=\frac{9}{8}-\frac{9}{4}+4\\f(\frac{3}{4})=\frac{9}{8}-\frac{18}{8}+\frac{32}{8}\\f(\frac{3}{4})=\frac{23}{8}

This is a positive value for y, therefore we are in the situation where there is NO x-axis crossing of the parabola's graph, and therefore no real roots.

We can though estimate a few more points of the parabola's graph in order to complete the graph as requested in the problem. For such we select a couple of x-values to the right of the vertex, and a couple to the right so we can draw the branches. For example: x = 1, and x = 2 to the right; and x = 0 and x = -1 to the left of the vertex:

f(-1) = 2(-1)^2-3(-1)+4= 2+3+4=9\\f(0)=2(0)^2-3(0)+4=0+0+4=4\\f(1)=2(1)^2-3(-1)+4=2-3+4=3\\f(2)=2(2)^2-3(2)+4=8-6+4=6
