Answer:

12.808 meter is the length should Rickey use for the mural.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the mural = A = 50 m^2

Length of the mural = l

Width of the mural = w

l = 5 + 2w

Area of the rectangle = l × w

A=(5+2w)\times w

50 m^2=5w+2w^2

2w^2+5w-50=0

Solving above equation with the help of Completing squares method:

(\sqrt{2}w)^2+2\times \sqrt{2}w\times \frac{5}{2\sqrt{2}}+(\frac{5}{2\sqrt{2}})^2-50=(\frac{5}{2\sqrt{2}})^2

(a+b)^2=a^2+b^2+2ab

(\sqrt{2}w+\frac{5}{2\sqrt{2}})^2=(\frac{5}{2\sqrt{2}})^2+50

(\sqrt{2}w+\frac{5}{2\sqrt{2}})^2=\frac{25}{8}+50

(\sqrt{2}w+\frac{5}{2\sqrt{2}})^2=\frac{425}{8}

(\sqrt{2}w+\frac{5}{2\sqrt{2}})=\pm\sqrt{\frac{425}{8}}

w = 3.904 m (accept)

w = -6.404 m (reject)

l = (5 + 2w)m = 5 + 2 × (3.904) m= 12.808 m

12.808 meter is the length should Rickey use for the mural.

Hello,

Maybe i have not understood "into".

\dfrac{25a^4+19a^2-a-78}{5a^2+6a-9} =5a^2-6a+20+ \dfrac{-175a+102}{5a^2+6a-9}
