Part (a)
<h3>Answer:
2(2.4+w) = 14.2</h3>
--------------
Explanation:
L = 2.4 = length
W = unknown width
The perimeter of any rectangle is P = 2(L+W)
We replace L with 2.4, and replace P with 14.2 to get 14.2 = 2(2.4+w) which is equivalent to 2(2.4+w) = 14.2
========================================================
Part (b)
<h3>Answer:
w = 4.7</h3>
--------------
Explanation:
We'll solve the equation we set up in part (a)
2(2.4+w) = 14.2
2(2.4)+2(w) = 14.2
4.8+2w = 14.2
2w = 14.2-4.8
2w = 9.4
w = 9.4/2
w = 4.7
The width must be 4.7 cm.
When roots of polynomials occur in radical form, they occur as two conjugates.
That is,
The conjugate of (a + √b) is (a - √b) and vice versa.
To show that the given conjugates come from a polynomial, we should create the polynomial from the given factors.
The first factor is x - (a + √b).
The second factor is x - (a - √b).
The polynomial is
f(x) = [x - (a + √b)]*[x - (a - √b)]
= x² - x(a - √b) - x(a + √b) + (a + √b)(a - √b)
= x² - 2ax + x√b - x√b + a² - b
= x² - 2ax + a² - b
This is a quadratic polynomial, as expected.
If you solve the quadratic equation x² - 2ax + a² - b = 0 with the quadratic formula, it should yield the pair of conjugate radical roots.
x = (1/2) [ 2a +/- √(4a² - 4(a² - b)]
= a +/- (1/2)*√(4b)
= a +/- √b
x = a + √b, or x = a - √b, as expected.
