Answer: Option 'a' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Dimensions of the room is given by

15 ft by 25 ft

Let x be the width around the rug.

So, new length = 15-2x

new breadth = 25-2x

Since Area of the rug = 264 sq. ft

So, it becomes,

\text{Area of rug}=Length\times breadth\\\\264=(15-2x)(25-2x)\\\\264=375-30x-50x+4x^2\\\\264=375-80x+4x^2\\\\4x^2-80x+375-264=0\\\\4x^2-80x+111=0\\\\x=\dfrac{3}{2}\ or\ x=\dfrac{37}{2}\\\\x=1.5\ ft

Hence, Option 'a' is correct.

Factor 3a^3 + 18a² + 8a + 48 completely.
fomenos

Answer:

(3a2 + 8) • (a - 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

STEP 1:

Equation at the end of step 1

 (((3 • (a3)) -  (2•32a2)) +  8a) -  48

STEP  2:

Equation at the end of step 2:

 ((3a3 -  (2•32a2)) +  8a) -  48

STEP 3:

Checking for a perfect cube

3.1    3a3-18a2+8a-48  is not a perfect cube

Trying to factor by pulling out :

3.2      Factoring:  3a3-18a2+8a-48

Thoughtfully split the expression at hand into groups, each group having two terms :

Group 1:  8a-48

Group 2:  -18a2+3a3

Pull out from each group separately :

Group 1:   (a-6) • (8)

Group 2:   (a-6) • (3a2)

              -------------------

Add up the two groups :

              (a-6)  •  (3a2+8)

Which is the desired factorization

Polynomial Roots Calculator :

3.3    Find roots (zeroes) of :       F(a) = 3a2+8

Polynomial Roots Calculator is a set of methods aimed at finding values of  a  for which   F(a)=0  

It would only find Rational Roots that is numbers  a  which can be expressed as the quotient of two integers

The Rational Root Theorem states that if a polynomial zeroes for a rational number  P/Q   then  P  is a factor of the Trailing Constant and  Q  is a factor of the Leading Coefficient

In this case, the Leading Coefficient is  3  and the Trailing Constant is  8.

The factor(s) are:

of the Leading Coefficient :  1,3

of the Trailing Constant :  1 ,2 ,4 ,8

The set of values that makes an equation true is called
Lisa [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A solution is any value of a variable that makes the specified equation true. A solution set is the set of all variables that makes the equation true. The solution set of 2y + 6 = 14 is {4}, because 2(4) + 6 = 14.

Answer:

120

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you want to find the third angle

to do that you 180-33+87=60

x=60

since x and y are on a straight line, to find y would be 180-x

180-60=120

y=120
