So you have your polynomial. To factor this out, you need to find the factors of -45 that will add up to 3. These two factors would be -5 and 8. So, you have factored your polynomial! (x-5)(x+8). If you are still unsure, simply use the FOIL method to check and see if you get the same polynomial back. Hope this helps!
Answer: D) Length: 60, Width: 30
Step-by-step explanation:
The totals of the length plus two widths of the other dimensions given do not add up to 120 feet.
2(4x - 7) -1 = 11
8x - 14 -1 = 11
8x - 15 = 11
+ 15 + 15
8x = 26
/8 /8
x = 3. 25 ------> Rounded: 3.30
The number 0 is basically nothing, so 7 divided by nothing is not defined. That's why calculators or even the most powerful computer can't divide anything by 0
Answer in fraction form: -17/4 < x < 11/4
Answer in decimal form: -4.25 < x < 2.75
=======================================================
Work Shown:
|4x+3| - 9 < 5
|4x+3| < 5+9 .... adding 9 to both sides
|4x+3| < 14
-14 < 4x+3 < 14 .... see note at the bottom
-14-3 < 4x < 14-3 .... subtracting 3 from all sides
-17 < 4x < 11
-17/4 < x < 11/4 .... divide all sides by 4
-4.25 < x < 2.75
This says that x is between -4.25 and 2.75, but x is not equal to either endpoint.
Note: I used the rule that |x| < k becomes -k < x < k where k is a positive real number.
