Use the information to write the dimensions of each rectangle in terms of w, the width of the 1st one.

1st rectangle;
l = 2w
w = 2

2nd rectangle:
w = w 
l = 2w + 4

If the area of the 2nd rectangle is 70 square meters, you will use the area formula to write an equation that you will solve using the factoring.

A = lw
70 = w(2w + 4)
70 = 2w^2 + 4w
0 = 2w^2 + 4w -70
0 = 2 (w^2 +2w - 35)
0 = 2 (w + 7) (w - 5)

To get zero, the width would need to be -7 or 5.  Because it is a distance, it has to be 5 meters.

The width of both rectangles is 5 meters.

Use the Remainder Theorem to evaluate f(10) for:<br> f(x) = 2x^3 – 14x^2 - 56x - 40
MAXImum [283]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are told that 10 is a zero,

(x−10) must be a factor:

F(x)=2x3−14x2−56x−40

F(x)=(x−10) (2x2+6x+4)

F(x)=2(x−10)(x2+3x+2)

F(x)=2(x−10)(x+2)(x+1)

So the other two zeros are

x = -2 and x= −1

The percent of change of 80 books to 64 books
ra1l [238]
So from 80 to 64, the change is the difference or 16 books.

now, if we take 80 to be the 100%, how much is 16 off of it in percentage?

\bf \begin{array}{ccll}&#10;amount&\%\\&#10;\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\&#10;80&100\\&#10;16&p&#10;\end{array}\implies \cfrac{80}{16}=\cfrac{100}{p}\implies p=\cfrac{16\cdot 100}{80}
