Answer:

The dimensions of the rectangle are

length = 34 yards

width = 15 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The shape is of rectangle,

Width of rectangle = x

Area of rectangle = 510 yd²

According to the given condition

Length of rectangle = 4 + 2x

To Find:

length =?

Width = ?

Solution:

We know that,

\textrm{Area of rectangle} = Length\times Width

On substituting the given values we get

510 = (4 + 2x)\times x\\510 = 4x+2x^{2}\ \textrm{using distributive property}\\\textrm{dividing throughout by two}\\255=2x+x^{2} \\\\x^{2} +2x -255 = 0\\

Which is a quadratic equation so we will apply splitting the middle term that is factorization we get

∴ x^{2}+ 17x -15x -255=0\\x(x+17)-15(x+17)=0\\(x-15)(x+17)=0\\\therefore x-15 =0\ or\ x+17=0\\\\\textrm{x cannot be negative i.e -17}\\\therefore x=15

∴ Width  x = 15 yard

∴ Length = 4 + 2x = 4 +2 × 15 = 34 yard

The dimensions of the rectangle are

length = 34 yards

width = 15 yards

The revenue for a company producing widgets is given by y = -20x2 - 50x + 200, where x is the price in dollars for each widget.
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

The  price is   x =  $2.779

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The  revenue is  y = - 20x^2  - 50 x + 200

   The cost of production is  y = 30 x - 10

Generally at break even point the cost of production is equal to the  revenue

So

      -20x^2 -50x + 200 =  30x-10

=>   20x^2 +20 -210 = 0

Using the quadratic formula to solve this equation we have that

       x =  $2.779
