Factor
2x^2+x-6
trial and error, the factors are the legnth and width
or, we could try multiplying the given options
if we do we find the factored form is
(x+2)(2x-3)
answer is last one

we have

2x^{2} +x-6

we know that

The area of a rectangle is equal to

A=L*W

where

L is the length side of the rectangle

W is the width side of the rectangle

In this problem

Equate the area to zero and Find the roots of the quadratic equation

2x^{2} +x-6=0

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

2x^{2} +x=6

Factor the leading coefficient

2(x^{2} +0.5x)=6

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side

2(x^{2} +0.5x+0.25^{2})=6+0.125

2(x^{2} +0.5x+0.0625=6.125

Rewrite as perfect squares

2(x+0.25)^{2}=6.125

(x+0.25)^{2}=3.0625

Square root both sides

(x+0.25)=(+/-)\sqrt{3.0625}

(x+0.25)=(+/-)1.75

x1=-0.25+1.75=1.50

x2=-0.25-1.75=-2

so

2x^{2} +x-6=2(x+2)(x-1.50)

2(x+2)(x-1.50)=(x+2)(2x-3)

length=(2x-3)\ feet

width=(x+2)\ feet

therefore

<u>the answer is the option</u>

length=(2x-3)\ feet ; width=(x+2)\ feet

I'm assuming you're talking about the indefinite integral

\displaystyle\int e^{-x^2/2}\,\mathrm dx

and that your question is whether the substitution u=\dfrac x{\sqrt2} would work. Well, let's check it out:

u=\dfrac x{\sqrt2}\implies\mathrm du=\dfrac{\mathrm dx}{\sqrt2}
\implies\displaystyle\int e^{-x^2/2}\,\mathrm dx=\sqrt2\int e^{-(\sqrt2\,u)^2/2}\,\mathrm du
=\displaystyle\sqrt2\int e^{-u^2}\,\mathrm du

which essentially brings us to back to where we started. (The substitution only served to remove the scale factor in the exponent.)

What if we tried u=\sqrt t next? Then \mathrm du=\dfrac{\mathrm dt}{2\sqrt t}, giving

=\displaystyle\frac1{\sqrt2}\int \frac{e^{-(\sqrt t)^2}}{\sqrt t}\,\mathrm dt=\frac1{\sqrt2}\int\frac{e^{-t}}{\sqrt t}\,\mathrm dt

Next you may be tempted to try to integrate this by parts, but that will get you nowhere.

So how to deal with this integral? The answer lies in what's called the "error function" defined as

\mathrm{erf}(x)=\displaystyle\frac2{\sqrt\pi}\int_0^xe^{-t^2}\,\mathrm dt

By the fundamental theorem of calculus, taking the derivative of both sides yields

\dfrac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}\mathrm{erf}(x)=\dfrac2{\sqrt\pi}e^{-x^2}

and so the antiderivative would be

\displaystyle\int e^{-x^2/2}\,\mathrm dx=\sqrt{\frac\pi2}\mathrm{erf}\left(\frac x{\sqrt2}\right)

The takeaway here is that a new function (i.e. not some combination of simpler functions like regular exponential, logarithmic, periodic, or polynomial functions) is needed to capture the antiderivative.
