Answer:
- x = 4
- length = 19 ft
- width = 11 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The area is given by the product of length and width.
A = LW
209 = (4x +3)(4x -5)
209 = 16x^2 -8x -15
224 = 16x^2 -8x
You could rearrange and use the quadratic formula at this point, but we elect to "complete the square".
14 = x^2 -(1/2)x
14 +1/16 = x^2 -1/2x +(1/4)^2 . . . . . add the square of half the x-coefficient
(x -0.25)^2 = 14.0625
x = 0.25 ± 3.75 . . . . . . take the square root; add 0.25
Only positive values of x are useful here, so we have
x = 4
Then the dimensions are ...
length = 4x +3 = 4(4) +3 = 19 . . . feet
width = 4x -5 = 16 -5 = 11 . . . feet
Answer:
4x^2 + 8x + 4
4(x^2 + 2x + 1) - remove GCF of 4
4(x + 1)(x + 1) - factor
4(x + 1)^2 - collect like terms
Step-by-step explanation:
Then also expand it out by distributing:
21x^3 + 35x²
Form 1:
21x^3 + 35x² - unfactored
Form 2:
7x²(3x + 5) - factored with GCF of 7x² brought to the front
Update:
You could also multiply two binomials and make a quadratic.
Example:
(7x + 2)(3x + 5)
7x(3x + 5) + 2(3x + 5)
= 21x² + 35x + 6x + 10
= 21x² + 41x + 10
A. 8 cats per week. if you simplify 40/5, it equals 8/1
Answer:
(5r - 20)
Step-by-step explanation:
(3r + 14) + (Ar + B) = (8r - 6)
B = -6 - 14 = -20
A = 8 - 3 = 5
