Answer:

  • width: 18 in
  • length: 27 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The relations between length (L) and width (W) are ...

  W +9 = L

  LW = 486

Substituting gives ...

  (W+9)W = 486

  W^2 +9W -486 = 0 . . . put in standard form

  (W +27)(W -18) = 0 . . . . factor

  W = 18 . . . .  the positive solution

The width of the rectangle is 18 inches; the length is 27 inches.

<em>Comment on factoring</em>

There are a number of ways to solve quadratics. Apart from using a graphing calculator, one of the easiest is factoring. Here, we're looking for factors of -486 that have a sum of 9.

486 = 2 × 3^5, so we might guess that the factors of interest are -2·3² = -18 and 3·3² = 27. These turn out to be correct: -18 +27 = 9; (-18)(27) = -486.

enyata [817]
The formula of the future value of an annuity ordinary is
Fv=pmt [(1+r)^(n)-1)÷r]
Fv future value?
PMT 2400
R 0.08
T 32 years
Fv=2,400×((1+0.08)^(32)−1)÷(0.08)
Fv=322,112.49
Now deducte 28% the tax bracket from the amount we found
annual tax 2,400×0.28 =672 and tax over 32 years is 672×32 =21,504. So the effective value of Ashton's Roth IRA at retirement is 322,112.49−21,504=300,608.49
