For this case the area is given by:
A = (22 + x) * (28 + x) = 722
Rewriting we have:
616 + 22x + 28x + x ^ 2 = 722
x ^ 2 + 50x + 616 - 722 = 0
x ^ 2 + 50x - 106 = 0
Solving the polynomial we have:
x1 = 2.04
x2 = -52.04
We take the positive root:
x = 2.04 inches:
Answer:
The width of the border to the nearest inch is:
x = 2inches
Answer:
\frac{x^4+5}{x^3(x^2+6)} =\frac{A}{x}+\frac{B}{x^2}+\frac{D}{x^3} +\frac{Ex+F}{x^2+6}
