The formula for the area of a rectangle is length times width, or A=l·w
The Area A=256
The width is w
The lenght is given as 6 feet less than 4 times its width, or in math language this is l=4w-6
Let's go back to the formula
A=l·w ⇒ 256=(4w-6)·w
simplify ⇒ 256=4w²-6w
put everything on the same side and set the equation equal to zero
⇒ 4w²-6w-256=0
Solve for w using quadratic formula
You are going to get two answers after using the quadratic formula: one positive and one negative. Just remember it doesn't make sense to get a negative answer if we are talking about width, so use the positive answer only
w≈8.7851 units
3,3 and 12,8 ( this is a guess )
4 pupils can eat 12 because if you times 6 by 2 you get 12, so if you do the same to the other side then you'll get the answer 4 (2X2=4)
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
A polynomial is a sum of terms, each of which is the product of a constant and some constellation of variables to integer non-negative powers. Anything with a variable in a denominator, a non-linear function such as absolute value, or square root (a fractional power) will <em>not</em> be a polynomial.
The constants in a polynomial may be rational or irrational. The polynomials we generally study are ones with real coefficients, but there is no reason why the coefficients could not be complex numbers.
