A=LW
192=(13+x)((9+x)
192=117+22x+x^2 (subtract 192 from both sides)
x^2+22x-75+0 (factor)
(x+25)(x-3)=0
so x=-25 or 3
Check work
since we are adding x it can only be the positive solution so x=3 so the new dimensions are:
L=13+3=16m
W=9+3=12
check: 16*12=192 so the answer is correct hope this helped

Suppose a and b are the solutions to the quadratic equation 2x^2-3x-6=0. Find the value of (a+2)(b+2).

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

(a+2)(b+2) = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following quadratic equation:

$2x^2-3x-6=0$

Let a a and b be the solution of the given quadratic equation.

Solving the equation:

$2x^2-3x-6=0\\\text{Using the quadratic formula}\\\\x = \dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\\text{Comparing the equation to }ax^2 + bx + c = 0\\\text{We have}\\a = 2\\b = -3\\c = -6\\x = \dfrac{3\pm \sqrt{9-4(2)(-6)}}{4} = \dfrac{3\pm \sqrt{57}}{4}\\\\a = \dfrac{3+\sqrt{57}}{4}, b = \dfrac{3-\sqrt{57}}{4}$

We have to find the value of (a+2)(b+2).

Putting the values:

$(a+2)(b+2)\\\\=\bigg(\dfrac{3+\sqrt{57}}{4}+2\bigg)\bigg(\dfrac{3-\sqrt{57}}{4}+2\bigg)\\\\=\bigg(\dfrac{11+\sqrt{57}}{4}\bigg)\bigg(\dfrac{11-\sqrt{57}}{4}\bigg)\\\\=\dfrac{121-57}{156} = \dfrac{64}{16} = 4$

Answer:

$a = 6\sqrt 3,\:\:b =12,\:\:c=6\sqrt 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

$by \: 30 \degree - 60 \degree - 90 \degree \: theorem \\ \\ 6 = \frac{1}{2} b\\ \\ 6 \times 2 = b \\ \\ 12 = b \\ \\ \huge\red {\boxed {b= 12}} \\ \\ a = \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2} b \\ \\ a = \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2} \times 12 \\ \\ \huge\purple {\boxed {a = 6 \sqrt{3}}} \\ \\ c = \frac{1}{ \sqrt{2} } b \\ \\ c = \frac{1}{ \sqrt{2} } \times 12 \\ \\ c = \frac{ \sqrt{2} }{2} \times 12 \\ \\ \huge\orange {\boxed {c = 6 \sqrt{2}}} \\ \\$
