6h ≥ 75
Divide each side by 6
h ≥ 12.5
This also works if you replace ≥ with =
Find the possible rational roots and use synthetic division to find the first zero.
I chose x=1 (which represents the factor "x-1")
1║2 -7 -13 63 -45
║ 2 -5 -18 45
2 -5 -18 45 0
(x-1) is a factor, (2x³ - 5x² - 18x + 45) is the other factor.
Use synthetic division on the decomposed polynomial to find the next zero.
I chose x = 3 (which represents the factor "x-3")
3║2 -5 -18 45
║ 6 3 -45
2 1 -15 0
Using synthetic division, we discovered that (x-1), (x-3), & (2x² + x -15) are factors. Take the new decomposed polynomial (2x² + x -15) and find the last two factors using any method.
Final Answer: (x-1)(x-3)(x+3)(2x-5)
You have two numbers to work with 7 and 5.
To keep the ratios the same using different numbers they would have to increase or decrease by the same multiple.
The answers would be 5:12, 7:12 and 6:7 do not represent a ratio in the fridge.
Let us set up some variables:
Now let us set up some equations based on the facts:
- length of rectangle is 4 times its width --> L = 4W
- perimeter of rectangle is 80 --> 2L + 2W = 80
Equations:
L = 4W -- equation 1
2L + 2W = 80 -- equation 2
Plug the value of L from equation 1 into equation 2
2(4W) + 2W = 80
8W + 2W = 80
10W = 80
W = 8 -- equation 3
Plug the value of W from equation 3 into equation 1:
L = 4W = 4 * 8 = 32
Therefore the length is 32 and the width is 8.
Hope that helps!
