Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We can do this a couple of ways. We can graph it -- see below. Or we can do the math.
Math
y = x^2 - 2x - 15
This trinomial factors into
y = (x - 5)(x + 3)
from which
x - 5= 0
x = 5
and
x + 3 = 0
x = - 3
The y intercept is the value obtained when all the xs on the right = 0
y = 0^2 - 2*0 - 15
y = - 15

The graph is below.
Answer:
The area of the new rectangle is 882 in².
Step-by-step explanation:
Let l be the length and w be the width of the original rectangle,
So, the area of the original rectangle is,
A = l × w ( Area of a rectangle = Length × Width )
Given, A = 72 in²,
⇒ lw = 72 ------- (1),
Since, if the rectangle are changed by a scale factor of 3.5,
⇒ New length = 3.5 l,
And, new width = 3.5 w,
Thus, the area of the new rectangle = 3.5l × 3.5w
( From equation (1) ),
= 882 in²
