Let be the dimensions of the rectangle. We know the equations for both area and perimeter:
So, we have the following system:
From the second equation, we can deduce
Plug this in the first equation to get
Refactor as
And solve with the usual quadratic formula to get
Both solutions are feasible, because they're both positive.
If we chose the positive solution, we have
If we choose the negative solution, we have
So, we're just swapping the role of and
. The two dimensions of the rectangle are
and
Answer:
p = , q = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
4x² + 12x ( factor out 4 from each term )
= 4(x² + 3x)
Using the method of completing the square
add/subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term)² to x² + 3x
= 4(x² + 2( )x +
-
)
= 4(x + )² - 4 ×
= 4(x + )² - 9
